1852
:)
No, I had a 005 four years ago, more or less. This logo was my first Panerai.
I enjoyed this watch for two years, quite every day. I was in love with it.
Then, the Cali came home, two 112, one 176, la bomba... and now, this 000.
I think that these logos represent perfectly the true Panerai DNA (with the vintage, Pre-vs and some post-v, of course)
Them are the access to Panerai and true Pam DNA, what else.????
The another thing that I love is its indexes... I´m not a big fan of sandwiches...
Best, mi querido amigo.

Indulgent Friday – November 12
Time to indulge after a day of abstinence on Wednesday. For those who participated in NWD , enjoy the heightened sense of pleasure at wearing our favourite little ticking toys again. Andrew
Aaah no, Andrew, you can't do that to me!
I trained hard to bring you the evidence that I spent the whole week without a watch on the wrist! And now, you change the rules!!! HAGWE, my friend. Nicolas...
What are you doing in the bright sunshine Vlad?
Please get back under cover before you hurt yourself. However, the fluorescent green does seem to suit you. HAGWE, Richard.
Bright Moonshine, my friend. A beautiful Carpathian Moonshine.
Vhaaat? No seaside in the Carpathians? Tsss, shoov meee yur neckkkk! Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2010-11-12 00:59:59
hey Nico, one part of the outfit covers something impressive, but...............
i know where your hiding your socks G
Which Carpathian moonshine are you referring to, Nico . . .
. . . this . . . . . . or that? . . . Or both, perhaps ;-) . . ....
Sure that after this breuvage, you necessarily see the Carpathian Moonshine.
Which is not to be confused with my Sister ( The Carpathian moon face ). Best, Nicolas
Very interesting.
Two photos in the post but four in the "picture summary". I'm going to google for Tammy right now Art. Regards, Richard.
That is....
a big one... Where is it? I have seen a similar one near Armadilo, Texas... Cheers
Companions
I particularly enjoyed TM’s romantic evocative sunrise last week. Here is another special shared moment for me: dinning with the perfect companion at Le Jardin de Joel Robuchon in Hong Kong …...
Nice photo...
Hope to see some food shots on the Time Out forum later. Regards, Richard.
I may be able to indulge you ....
... this weekend. Hope you had your cholesterol checked recently! Andrew
Very different, but ...
... in fact the sub-seconds dials on both watches give them a similar identity to my warped horological eyes (I see patterns in things and associations that are fairly tenuous, LOL). But our experiences and memories are rolled up with these watches and th...
only 2150 on thursday 11th here but what the heck.
this weekend i will be wearing my freshly aquired Benrus Mil-W3818B US Military watch from sept 1964, one of the last before the new spec came out in 1965. another week nearly finished and another weekend approaching. time ticks on relentlessly, its just ...
Congratulations on getting this...
And adding to your 1964 collection. Is the month correct for you as well? Looks in great condition. Regards, Richard.
thanks Richard. its a month...
thanks Richard. its a month younger than me, but nothing is perfect. best Graham
Perfectly matched watch to strap....
I like it bunch ! These vintage military Benrus has a really nice vibe to them...I dig it Graham Nice ! Drew
thanks Drew. as a purist i should say that the strap is the wrong period
however, as you say, it suits the watch perfectly. much better than a thin 16mm NATO. it gives the watch more body. these watches are easy to find and very cheap as long as your not looking for an early one or a specific year. there are loads from 69-73 o...
Very cool, Graham, that's a great addition . . .
. . . to your collection. It's time to investigate the local army surplus stores.
I'm digging the phto alot ...
I am starting to appreciate more and more about these simple time only military style time piece. The straps looks good. Graham I getting some more shipment ... ... and I'm not telling ... ... Tyler
thanks Tyler. its actually very hard to photograph due to reflection.
i was lucky with the strap which finishes it off nicely. gets some pennies out, theres a Benrus with your name on it somewhere and pennies are all you need. as for your new new shipment, if you dont show and tell how can we say how nice it is ?? best Grah...
Once more ...
a very nice find from 1964 Congrats my friend! The strap fits quite well with the watch and together it looks perfect on your wrist. Oliver
thankyou Oliver. its nice to see such an affordable piece get so many nice comments
have a good weekends reading best Graham
Great catch
Nice to see a new one in the watchbox. Not so many pre Vietnam ones out there. Here a new Benrus in my box - Dial O Rama - late 50s - not the one I wrote you about, but a fixer upper bargain from the UK. The star is a seconds wheel which is not working ri...
thanks Ginger. i like your Dial O Rama. shame the seconds arent working
this nice 1/2 golfball example would fit nicely into my unusual display theme so i must give them consideration. is the second rotation an easy fix or will you leave it as it is ? i dont think it matters if it doesnt rotate, most people wouldnt know that ...
Cool, unique display, Ginger!
Congrats! Enjoy your new purchase. Hopefully, it gets fixed and is working at 100% soon. Cheers, Daos
A 12 hr display. Bonus brother-sister pic of another design
Same movement, no seconds display. Very flashy case. Ginger...
hey Ginger, when you...
hey Ginger, when you feel the need to part with either one you know who to contact. G
I will keep that in mind...
The star display (very flat crystal) actually suits my wrist better - Eric has been wearing the chevron. The problem with these watches is that I find the minutes hard to read with older eyes, so they are likely to leave my watchbox sooner rather than lat...
My 2 Benrus say hello
Ginger and I hope your star wheel is a quick fix. This one is missing the top inside piece..sure to be found someday.It actually looks ok the way it is now,cheers...
Nice to see yours as well
I have reason to hope about the Benrus. There are few active watchmakers in my area who have the skills and desire to work on older non premium watches. But today I visited a semi retired gentleman to pick up my Bulova alarm - the earlier Junghans movemen...
Another 64 G..!!!
Anybody would think there was a reason for this obsession with 64...;o) Hope to see you soon, Andy....
you've gotta have a reason...
you've gotta have a reason to do anything and this obsession gives me focus catch you very soon G...
Of course 64 boy...!!
Look forward to catching up soon. Have you got Mo's book yet..? Great work in it isn't there..! Speak soon, A....

i got it a couple of days ago, sadly no personal dedication inside, but what can you expect from Amazon i havent had a chance to look closely, but will do this weekend. G...
thanks Blomman. not a patch...
thanks Blomman. not a patch on your JLC's, but it tells the time and has a history to it. best Graham
Graham, that's a great mil spec dial.
No nonsense, and nice patina. I haven't read the whole thread -- did you mention the case size of that Benrus? Best, JEd
thanks Jed. i gave...
thanks Jed. i gave the measurements somewhere, but i'll happily say it again. case is 34mm, lug width a mere 16mm. monocoque case with every piece of info you could need stamped into it which is typically US Military. Best Graham
i must admit to an error in my information about the Benrus W3818B
i have today, discovered that i am totally incorrect in the information i gave about the production period for this watch. i am exactly 100% wrong which is far better than being slightly wrong the W3818B in fact came out in 1964 and remained the specifica...
That's the exact vintage Memovox I'm aiming for....
this year I just love the funky case on this one ! Hope I can find one in killer condition like yours. Cool pix Drew
This one would go…
Very well with your NSA! I was lucky to find this one NOS! It’s still the original starp. Thank you, Drew! HAGWE Blomman
You mean this one..?
Still need to add the vintage Polaris... HAGWE, my friend Blomman...
I always loved this JLC advert ...
Great image, Blomman, and nice to see the real watches superimposed. Nicely done. Andrew This message has been edited by AndrewD on 2010-11-12 15:25:25
almost the 12th - does it count
here in hamburg - somehow i am stck to the german models - in this or that way-- very best regards s...
Exceedingly uncommon 1845 Klassik, Soeren . . .
. . . many thanks for sharing. I've never seen one in the metal. Can you indulge us with a movement photo? Many are unaware of this series of manual winding treasures from Glashütte Original . . . cordially, Art
That's the one! Thanks, Soeren . . .
. . . and I hope to join your club soon with a cal 42 1845 Karree. These manual winding G O calibers are my cup of tea.
I agree with Art ...
... This is really a Klassic! Love the colours, Breguet-style hands, sub-dials that thankfully don't 'eat' any numerals, and an interesting case and matching strap. Very nicely done. Andrew
The Senator Chronometer is a great watch!
Looks very good on your wrist - enjoy wearing it! anaesdoc
Exquisite. Thank you, Soeren . . .
. . . for sharing these exemplars of German watchmaking with us.
I was unsure ...
... until a week ago if I preferred the RG or WG versions of the Senator Chronometer more, but after wearing both for a period, I have come down in favor of your version, Soeren. With all the engineering behind it, and useful chronometric functions and in...
the accuracy
is rather non- german - need to see my friend to put it a balance one day - BUT even if its not the most accurate watch - mine at least - i weare it rather often - love to wind iit every day and at least think of it ---- the white gold was my first choice...
The PT set is not out yet ...
at least I was told so. My AD will get one and I will have a look - for sure
