Is there a jumping second on the subdial (0 to 30 min) or a continous counter? Thanks, Cheers, Patrickh

you have corrected by yourself, of course Cheers, Patrickh

With the minutes counter for the chronograph function on the right, that counts up till 30 mins, with the seconds of the chronograph located centrally. The minutes counter is of course NOT a jumping minutes, only Lange's chronos does that! The counter on ... 

Minerva calibre. Lange and also VC Historique with a Lemania reviewed calibre (PP too I suppose) have a jumping minute functionning. Cheers, Patrickh

I certainly did not know that! Are you sure about this? Because AFAIK Lange is the ONLY watch manufacturer who has a chronograph calibre that has a precise jumping minutes counter?! Unless of course my knowledge about watches is still soo far away! Thanks... 

Lange does indeed make one of the finest jumping minute chronograph calibers, the way the minute hand jumps on the Lange is crisp and instantaneous. However, there are other brands who make jumping minute counters. However, most do not make ones that jump... 

As they put it here on the forums! Well, chronos have never really been my strong points, so do forgive me when i am in the process of learning! Even with my Mare, i'm discovering a few rare bits of it that i just might enquire to you soon! Ciao Stephen

In fact, I'm surprised that you acquired the Mare Nostrum since it has a 30 minute counter. I recall you prefer chronographs that are capable of measuring longer durations. But I'm sure that with your passion and thirst for knowledge, you will soon know a... 

Indeed, for chronographs my criterion states that it requires a 12 hours counter, which the Mare obviously lack. But did you know that under extreme circumstances i do make exceptions? And this is one of them, just because it is a Mare from Panerai! You w... 

... among all the Panerai, i like this model most stefan

...the model number is engraved between the lugs. I thought this was a new thing for (some of) the 2011 models. Learning something new every day! Nice pics! Martin

Because not only is the PAM number engraved in the lugs at the 12 o'clock position, the serial number of my piece is engraved between the lugs at 6 o'clock! Therefore whenever i cross my arms or hold the handrails in the train, i cna delight in admiring M... 

It's an awesome watch. Love the Minerva movement. The blue band goes well with the watch. You're a lucky man.

A beautifully finished fine movement, and the blue strap is just my calling card! Cheers Stephen

Awesome watch and such a unique strap - a typical BluNotte timepiece. I love this watch, from the size, to the history, to the delicately blued hands, to the beautiful movement. Truly a phenomenal piece! And I have to mention it again, I love that strap!

What a pity it is then that when i leave Tokyo, the BluNotte strap making days are left behind as well! Tears rolling down....... Stephen

If I see a strap that looks like that anywhere in the world, you instantly come to mind.

For always keeping me in a special way in your mind. Much appreciated for a kindred spirit. Ciao Stephen

Any chance you can post a wrist shot of this beauty? Cheers
