My 47mm is an Auto movement. I don't wind it. Just pick it uo amd shake for anbit and it starts up.
Is that right?
I was under the impression it was a hand wind movement, haven't worn it enough to fully test but my initial indications were that is was hand wind. Will have to wait now until it stops and test again more thoroughly.

Yep, i believe the 47mms have a Auto 21 J. The 52mm DSN and 60mm have the Manual movements.

I had no idea they used 21j movements in these. It must have quite a fat retainer ring to hold that small movement!

Since the 52mm Eggi isn’t here yet I would like to share with you guys the latest “Praterai” in the Family, hope you enjoy the pics, and please see below.
So I missed out on the first Depth Gauge Pratt had made, things just didn’t work out. So Pratt ended up working with me to make this custom piece. I didn’t think it would come out as AWESOME as it did, and now I am kind of glad I missed out on the last one, even though it is a great piece as well.
When Pratt was done with this one I asked him to name it “Nautilus”
The dial is INSANE, the amount of detail in it and the work it took is very interesting in it of itself, and he documented the build of the dial here for you to look at…

This a Depth gauge style dial that I had never seen before until I started getting into the Vintage Panerais. Like the Eggi this is a “Working Piece” meant to tell the diver how deep he is. Here are a few of the real ones,
I can picture this piece worn by these guys!!!
I initially had a more rustic and beaten feel for this piece, but after thinking about it and then receiving it, this has taken a more classic direction.
For those that don’t know, the Nautilus is the name of the Submarine that Captain Nemo used in the book 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea written by Jules Verne. I read the book when I was younger but for visualization purposes I will be using pics form the movie adaptation.
I thought of this watch as belonging to the one and only Captain Nemo himself. I thought of it being used by him during his adventures. I had even ordered a different strap for it, thankfully it hasn’t arrived! That made me look through the strap box and pair it up with this Classy Black Leather Strap with White Stitch from Didymo Straps from Spain. As soon as I put it on the watch I knew it was the right combo (for now). Wearing it I almost want to wear a suit with it. LOL, Well enough of my rants, below are pics of the Submarine “The Nautilus” for you to get an idea of what was floating around in my mind.
This is Captain Nemo from the movie,
And this is “Nautilus” His Watch…
The Crystal looks like it’s under water and I can imagine looking out the window under the deep blue sea right along with Nemo…
I love the fact that the donor case has teh Paneristi Forever caseback!! I thought that maybe later tdown the line I would swap the movement for a Corterbert and put a display caseback, but for now i wil enjoy it as is!!! Thanks a Lot fellas, stay tuned for more pics as soon as hte 52mm hits the mainland!!
You got this one too?? You got two of my favorite Pratt pieces. Damn you!!!
[emoji41]
I have two pieces incoming. As soon as they hit i will post pics...
Been thinking of starting a thread with all my pieces. Problem is the collection keeps growing and there doesn't seem to be a stopping point. I may have a problem[emoji15] [emoji15]

Are you waiting for your 52mm egi? Did he do a similar treatment to the 47 you have?
