How do you deal with such a big watch inside your shirt cuff? I can't even button some cuffs with my measly SMP in them...


roll my sleeves. always.

I get the left cuff on my shirts .5" wider around to accommodate a watch.


i have tried that, but if it fits ovet the watch, it ends up falling to far on my wrist, or if its not big enough, its to tight. so im a roller. i miss my shirt cuff showing, but its ok. i make sacrifices for watches.

:)

Awesome!  I might have to wear my 112 tomorrow to celebrate with you!!


DEAL!! ill be in mine!!

Looks really nice on the wrist. How do you feel about the size? What is your wrist size?

^Also interested in the wrist size!
That's the same strap? To my eye, the color of the strap on the second pic looks really really good.


Surprisingly, I am kind of a fan of the whole Tobacco look to the strap.

i love the size, i had tried it on before, so i knew i would. funny, i had never measured my wrist before, but after your post, i just did.

my wrist is 7.25/7.5 inches. my JLC hometime is also pretty big. i used to have a DJ (that i never should have sold :fu: ) that was 36mm, and it always felt a tad small.

one and the same. its really hard to get a pic that really captures the color. its kinda between the 2 irl. absolutely gorgeous.

why surprisingly?


Oh I just mean in general. For some reason or another, I am a huge sucker for black faced watches and tobacco, almost yellow straps. I just love the look of the two together. Also, you have a good wrist size for a 44mm watch. I think that 7.25-7.5" is about right. I am sitting at right about 7", and I worry sometimes that it may look a little bit too large on my wrist.

...[/SPOILER]


I actually don't have one yet! I was on the fence between the Panerai and my JLC, and the JLC won out. And then the Omega Speedmaster won out. And now... well, I am not quite sure what direction I want to go in. I am probably just going to wait a while and pick up a GO PML in a year or so.

^ When the crisis hit, they dumped them for the Panerais.


In the great state of Louisiana, I don't think I have seen one Panerai. Actually, I saw one, of something staying in a hotel during the National Championship game last year. The advantages of not living in a major city.
