The version without the big PANERAI writing is the PAM00254. Those things are absurdly expensive for what they are. They run about $1800.

PAM00254

My mistake. The 254 is desk clock. I think you can just take the clock part out of the mount though and turn it into a wall clock.

Agree - the Atmos is stunning. A friend bought one recently - I'm green with envy but I really can't justify spending $6K on a table clock.

You can often get second-hand ones in good condition for between $1 and 2K. They are quite fragile, so condition should be checked thoroughly. The grail-Atmoses are the very early thirties ones, particularly the ones made by Reutter, before Jaeger came into the picture.

I often see Atmos clock for about $800. They are quite attractive clocks, particularly the '50s ones.

I will admit that I know next to nothing about timepieces. This week, I noticed that my assistant was wearing a Rolex and I asked him about it. He said that it was a Submariner that he purchased for $300 in NYC ( a Chinese-run place near Mulberry and Canal, he said). The movement of the second had was smooth, so it could have been a mechanical movement. Then again, it could have just as likely been an electric movement. Are such deals available on legitimate Rolexes? I usually follow the rule that if it sounds too good to be true than it inevitably is.

I will sell you my Mercedes-Benz 300SL for $25,000.

Submariner+Chinese place+Canal St+$300 Are you serious? It's fake.

And in the best product category, the winner is... Interesting enough article about product placement, watches and film. Oh, well, noithing very new.

Where you refering to this? Without the actual TC funtions i find it to bussy, if on the other hand it had those it would be nice. I was actualy hoping more for something like the chopard milleMiglia Or a nice GMT (no ROLEX) but the Seiko Grand or the chopard luc pro one GMT. Yes im stil talking wall clocks. 2 timezones would be nice. Have also considered the Junghans MAX BILL with radio"funk" control (IE radio tower control) like this one http://www.nova68.com/Merchant2/merc...egory_Code=142

I'll lift your offer

Definitely not that one. That looks like it belongs in a watch store. The GP one I have seen is very subtle - plain off-white dial, with blue hands and GP written in blue.

I did not think so, I thought it was somewat out of your liking. But could you please indicate where you found it? If nessesary you can also PM

ehhh
