So after several months of sitting in a drawer I pulled the watch out and started to learn more about it online. PeterCDE apparently had written about this watch on purist a while back : http://gp.watchprosite.com/?show=forum.post.new&fi=6&pi=4946478&ti=748453&sx=3 http://www.p178hos

Hi All, I recently acquired a GP Gyromatic Deep-Diver from a family member. I had an opportunity to take it to a trusted watchmaker to look at the movement as well. I did some basic research online and there was one very comprehensive report here on the purist that suggested that this watch may be t

Thank you Baron for your response. Yes, I 100% agree with you as long as the history of the watch was disclosed if known, or when asked. As long as there is no pretense that the dial was not original to the watch, and both separately are original and mated, I too would have no problem wearing the wa

I have been researching PN daytona's and have noticed so many variances, it's made me very wary of ever pulling the trigger.

I feel like my limit keeps rising. It started out as anything around a few hundred dollars was really expensive, and now i've been known to spend 20k or more for a single watch. i feel crazy for even contemplating spending 100k usd or more, but in my mind, I feel like it's justifiable for the right

I hope they don't issue a steel version either. I think some people assume that Panerai will maximize their opportunities to make more money by offering a variant of the 373, and feel the enthusiasm for the piece is being blunted by that assumption. How much you wanna bet that if OP came out and sai
