SDDS - King Of The High Seas
"Change is the only constant in this world." This edict has been the compelling reason why I chose to own two of the most unique and technologically advance timepieces in the market today -the IWC Topgun Ceramic Doppel Chrono and the Rolex Sea Dweller Deep Sea. Both are, beyond doubt, very distinct from the normal melieu found in their respective dens.I just got my SDDS tonight from my AD in Manila. The funny thing is, despite its purported huge size, I thought it was dwarfed by my IWC when I first saw it and tried it on my wrist. But of course my Topgun is 46mm compared to the 43mm Deep Sea. Other than its diameter, what I instantly noticed was the height of the bezel. It is indeed tall. The first time I saw it in my wrist, it kinda looked odd. I even thought it protruded too much.

send watch to panerai for service or local?
So I'm in Chicago and wanted to get my Pam 392 serviced, there is a slight scuff on the bezel and the tiniest of chips on the crystal. Its been running just a tad slow since I got it and I just picked up another watch so figured I would get this serviced so its perfect. Question is should I send to Panerai? I heard they are pretty pricey and could take awhile. Or have a local watchmaker take a look (if I go this route he won't replace the crystal, would need to send it to panerai to get a authentic panerai crystal is what one guy said) also any recommendations for someone in Chicago to work on it?I'm thinking of selling it too so want it nice if I decide to go that route, is it even worth refinishing or selling as is? I'm the original owner and have the box and all paperwork so it should make it easier.
