I wanted to share some pics of my 372 - My Grail - My Baby - My Daily Beater
When I first got this gen I loved the "new look" but then soon realised that I would be needing a lot of Polywatch if I was going to try and stop the plexi showing any scuffs and swirlies.......................Then I thought Feck it ! Let nature take its course ........I AM SO GLAD I DID :laugh:

It is very difficult to capture the plexi pressure cracks and today was bright sunshine in Firenze - Perfect conditions to at least try !

I hope you like the way this watch is becoming more and more like the Vintage Panerai 6152 to which it is paying tribute.

The strap is the Di Stefano Perfetto which has really transformed with wear and developed a great Patina now and suits this watch perfectly.

Hope you Plexi - Crack Addicts get a nice hit ;)
POST YOUR UN-POLISHED PLEXIS IF YOU GOT `EM :D




SOME ANGLES THE PLEXI APPEARS ALMOST CLEAR








THEN OTHER ANGLES REVEAL THE FASCINATING SHIMMERS AND GOLD REFLECTING FROM THE HANDS - Difficult to capture the gold shimmers that appear in the plexi though :undecided:



THE BRIGHT ITALIAN MIDDAY SUN GAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF CAPTURING THE SHIMMER EFFECT







THE PATINATED LEATHER OF THE PERFETTO IS REALLY KEEPING PACE WITH THE VINTAGE LOOK THAT THE 372 IS DEVELOPING :cheesy:




HOPE YOU ENJOYED AND I WILL UPDATE AGAIN AFTER SOME TIME IN THE SEA THIS SUMMER AND SOME MORE "DAILY BEATINGS"

Buy a gen. Smash it to bits. Take pictures of it. Love it. Gens were made for wearing. Not storing.

I only recently got into the plexi damage aesthetic. It is fun looking for doorknobs to purposefully smash the plexi against. It dots the day with little fun acts of destruction.
