Arktos 186? GMT pics

[Drulee]

I've been wondering what those Arktos PAMs where like, and since I've pretty much collected all the regular 44mm PAMs that I like, I wanted to give an Arktos a try.

Well I found a great deal on RWG for an Arktos GMT and a Ferrari non-chrono (I was also curious about that style), so I grabbed them. Originally, I didn't realize that the Ferrari was part of the deal, so it was a nice surprise when I found out - especially considering what I paid for them. Just got it today, and was happy to find two TWB croc straps and couple other straps. It ends up that I really don't like the Ferrari watch design, so another member ended up being quite happy But I really like the Arktos design, so I have a new mission in my rep World life - to get more Arktos' Well here are some pics of the GMT model I got (I know the back isn't accurate, but I still like it):

By the way, this is one of the heaviest PAMs I have. As you can see, I included some pics of my digital camera as well, sorry

Congrats, it's a beauty... [smilie=alien.gif]

But I wouldn't put a croc strap with a submersible though...

Why not? Crocodiles like water

Do you know if I was right about it being a 186?

Very nice.
I still don't have a PAM, and was eyeing this very one as my first.
Wife forbids me getting "one of those old looking watches" (which I
really preferred like the 249 and the very plain dialed "five stick marker"
version from TS.)
Can you tell me if you prefer the plain Luminor cased models or this one?

Cheers, bud....

The main case seems to be the same, it just has a different bezel and thicker case back. Not sure what makes it heavier, though.

Bought it from a member on another board, along with a Ferrari and a couple of TWB croc straps that I wanted. All for $120 delivered - needless to say I was quite happy Actually, so happy, that since I didn't like the Ferrari, I sent it on to another member for free.
