Daddy, what's it like to own a Speedmaster?
And now, another story brought to you by MOsterpiece Theatre..."Daddy, what's it like to own a Speedmaster?"I can remember these words. Words from a child. Words that echoed into my fatherly ears. The sound waves reverberated against my eardrums like the primordial beats of early humanity."Daddy, what's it like to own a Speedmaster?"I looked down at my beloved son, gazing into his blue eyes that looked up at me as if I were godlike to him. His voice, so soothing, so relaxing to me. He is, my beloved son, curious about something that we both loved. My love stretching across decades, his interest, spanning months, but oh those cherished months."Daddy, what's it like to own a Speedmaster?"I looked down into his eyes and told him..."I WOULDN'T KNOW, MY SPEEDMASTER'S BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THREE MONTHS!" :mad:The End

does the PO seem larger than pams?
i just came from AD to check out the omega seamaster planet ocean 42mm.the first thing i noticed is that it is way heavier than Pam112.is the weight difference mainly due to the strap vs bracelet or the watch itself?the second is that it seemed even larger and thicker than the pam112 (manual wind).to my surprise, the 44mm pam seemed to fit my 6.5 inch wrist better than the PO. i looked at it from lug to lug. i also noticed that the curve on the lugs of the pam seem deeper than the angle of the PO. making it hug the wrist more than the PO.what i havent tried is whether the PO will fit under shirt cuff because the pam definitely wont.is this really the case? or will it all work out after resizing the bracelet?Thanks!

PAM 372 documents.
I noticed yesterday that the certificate booklet that comes with my used 372 refers to a Radiomir Black Seal on its cover. Should I be concerned?Everything else is perfect. The inside of the booklet looks correct with the case and movement numbers matching and refers to model 372. There is the name of the original purchaser and the stamp of the Panerai boutique where it was originally purchased. It's only the cover that is incorrect. The movement stickers are also present and tie in with movement number. The original cardboard outer box is also present with the correct code. And the watch itself is perfect. I also bought from a reputable dealer who has good feedback on Chrono24 and from whom I have bought before. But I'm paranoid as there are some very good fakes around with fake documents. On the other hand it makes no sense for someone to make such a good fake and then put the name of the wrong watch on the booklet so I am inclined to think there is some mundane reason for this discr

Playing with straps.
It's a public holiday here in Singapore today so I've been messing about with strap combinations to see what works and what doesn't. I now have a pretty good idea of what I want built next so please let me know if you think something looks particularly good or just doesn't work Here's my 689 on the JV.
