I saw a thread posted a few minutes ago asking for pictures of Panerai on a bracelet and that motivated me to take these. I was going to post them there, but not wanting to hijack that one, I decided to start my own.

I got this from a member at another forum about a week ago, and I really like it. The bracelet makes all the difference for me. This is easily the most difficult watch I've ever tried to take pictures of due to the reflections in the crystal, but I did the best I could...

What do you guys think? Are there any quick and EASY mods I can do to improve it?(EASY being the key word, my skills are very limited)

I know the movement looks all wrong, What else?

I really love that style (I don't care what Hooligan says). According to Angus, there are some higher-end versions of this model and a few others. I'd wait on those before trying to mod this one.

Wow, Big. That's the EXACT watch that I drooled over for the first month I was a member here (before I realized Pams are too small for me). That's a great looking watch. Looks awesome, and I love that rotor.

Thanks, by "mods" I meant something like tightening a screw, maybe wiping it down with a magic cloth or something like that. Nothing serious, I really don't have the skills, or the patience to send it off...(plus I'm not that picky...) That said, what would be different on a higher end model?

Yeah, I always thought that about the pams too. I bought a 165 on a leather strap when I first got here just to try it out. It's nice, but it never really excited me. IMO, the bracelet makes a big difference. This one seems just right... I ordered that SA last night BTW, I'm pretty excited for that one... (I just wish I'd been able to find one in member sales so I didn't have to wait for it to be shipped from China...)

Nice one! Though I'm waiting for one with the correct date placement and font.
