Blancpain: Good luck Nicolas! You are really in a other league..

I just pleased myself with a 70th anniv Fifty Fathoms act I yesterday, found one, at "reasonable price", just below MSRP and I love it! It's nowhere close to your vintage ambitions...

Officine Panerai: I like the fact it is a 44mm case frankly.

It's a 12h GMT which has a "dot on the dial at 6 in the second subdial", that turns from black to white every 12h to indicate am/pm.. its reads at a glance, very minimalist to see, and very subtle. They only did this for 3 years.. Great touch!

Officine Panerai: Hi Sergio! Yes, I can understand that the "fangs" or "dog teeth"is an acquired taste, you either love it or hate it.

It's the kind of detail that is a deal breaker for some, or a reason to want it. I love it, so far it is the Pam I like the most, the 44mm has a good presence, without being too much of a statment, it's all in my comfort zone. Thanks for your input. Take care.

Officine Panerai: You are correct, on the pics above, the GMT is actually set on a time zone.

But I am putting a picture below, when the GMT os set at the same time as local hour, and than, it is invisible, as it will run with the hour hand in a 12h cycle, and the GMT hand is designed in a way that it is totally hidden by the hour hand.

Officine Panerai: Yes, it's on a 12h rotation, which is great!

Meaning that you can hide the GMT hand behind the hour hand, and you could never guess it is a GMT at this stage. Looks like a clean 3 hand, the am/pm is featured by a dot that shows white or black in 12 hours rotation. No quick set date, but quick hour set, hacking second with "zero" reset. Nice mo
