Just took a look at Angus's site, puretimewatch.com and look what I saw on the main page!

that is one nice 292!

 

[RobbDizzle]

Wish the 292 was a pig-dial version though...

 

[tokeyx]

yea, not a big enough difference to justify to the wife a 292 vs 26k without the pig dial

 

[trksh-bzr]

I have the dsn 292, with no pig. I love it to death! sadly the dsn has a far less accurate case shape than this one. the dsn pvd is excellent though. I wish I had the 026k too, I don't see how they are very similar.....

 

[Mickey Padge]

Yeah, PAM's do all look quite similar, but the 292k could not be more different to the 26k!

 

[RobbDizzle]

No I disagree, The Luminor and Radiomir are very different just in case and crown type. IMO there's plenty of reason to have a non-pig 292 and an 026 as well.

i was looking at the 292 and i was thinking that the ceramic case sounds interesting and i did not buy the 26k so latter on ill pick up one , and about the 286 ill wait for a 332

 

[bigdeal]

sorry for the dumb question, but what is a "pig" dial?

 

[PecMan]

im glad to answer ur question pal
this ,,,is a pig dial .

 

[wat44]

I think the pig dial is MUCH better

(has men piggy-backing on a submarine)

[RobbDizzle]

to answer the question, a "pig-dial" is a dial that features an outline of the two-man submersible torpedoes that were used back then:

Similarly there are buckles that are referred to as "pig buckles" with the same on them:

I realize the 26k and 292 are much different, but to my wife, a black pam on a black strap with a black dial, and a single seconds hand is going to be hard to convince I need one of each

Maybe I'll put the 292 on a tan leather strap if I got one, since the 26k is going to be gen rubber in a day.

My wife is just like tokeyx's.... But... I might be able to confuse her into thinking that it's the same watch....

IMHO, I want a pig dial and I'll wait until the rumored "H Factory" version comes out.

 

[themorninghate]

Hmmm so this 292 isn't the H factory version as per the puretimes newsletter?

also, Hi everyone! (1st post)

 

[tokeyx]

Greetings! pretty sure this is the H1 factory version. I think they are still the only ones doing C1 + C3 lume like Gen. I doubt any other factory would release a 292 when H factory will also be release one the same month.

 

[Bomba]

So this IS the H-factory? Hmmmm....
