No man. I wish. I borrowed that pic from some blog. Don't know what camera was used, but something tells me that with proper lightening u could use any half decent Point & Shoot camera to get similar results. I could be wrong.

The model is SNK803K2

That's why I was inquiring about your awesome choice in bands, it was exactly what I was looking for

Oh, you must have meant to type "6" RS-1's

Just ordered this one, for $15 I figured what the heck.

Hey anyone knows the best place to buy leather straps?
I am currently looking at Watchstyle, looks like they are the most professional looking one I could find.

I am thinking to get a Champs-Élysées model from Camille Fournet brand.

 

[bhd812]

i bought a bunch of straps from a ebay seller "official time" awhile back. love them for the price and will be buying more straps from them on my future watch also!

there are lots of places to buy straps..here is a list put together by a few panerai owners..it may help you find a strap for ur watch...it may!...or may not

Yup! Totally. However, I must insist that you only use one at a time, and keep them all in a pitch black room of my choosing. I will put them all carefully in this pitch black room.. then you just have to fumble around whenever you want that sweet sweet RS1 sound!

That safari-ish looking Seiko looks really good. I've never been too interested in watches, but I think I'm beginning to develop a financially irrational desire for the finer things in life. *Sigh*

I've seen One thing you should seriously be aware of though is that no matter how close the replica looks in comparison to a real sea-faring watch, it's not going to be waterproof and might even lose its seal in your shower. Frankly, I far prefer a more reasonably priced watch that actually DOES match the quality of a more expensive watch. They're out there... Seiko, Citizen, Mark II (if you be needing Swiss). My company of choice, of course, is Seiko. There's a very good chance that I'll end up with a Grand Seiko GMT as my "engagement watch" in a year or so...

Thanks for the insight. I am curently looking into a Seiko automatic watch (one with the 21 jewels mvt). I already have a citizen 8651 eco-drive watch. I am looking for a watch with a GMT hand that does not need batteries. It's gona be hard to find I guess.

Speaking of Citizen, my Attesa just arrived today. It's one beautiful watch! I was having second thoughts while the watch was in transit to Australia, but after I looked at it in person, I'm so glad that I didn't pull out.

Looks like I will get the PAM090 instead of PAM088. A local dealer find this and I can't wait 2 months.

If you don't need a traditional GMT hand, look at a Citizen Nighthawk. I mentioned earlier in this thread that I had one that I sold. It's the only watch I've ever sold and I regret it (which is probably why I haven't sold any others). Its a very nicely finished watch.

I concur. It's a little busy but still very readable, and it's got some fantastic features like that GMT hand.

I also think you should take a look at these:
Review of the Bernhardt Instruments Globemaster

I've heard nothing but good about them, they use a very well known and well respected automatic movement, and they're really quite a deal. No batteries needed in an automatic.

I'm personally quite partial to the styling of the green version:

You can't wait 2 months for something you're going to spend $5k-ish on? Awful female-shopping-at-the-mall mentality to have towards something that costs so much.

The 088 is so much better looking than the 090...it's not even close.

i really like the 088 but couple of my friends has it so something different 090 will be nice.

Anyone would like to read a review for Attesa?
