Not for the die hard Panerista...

...but for me the Panerai Radiomir Chronograph PAM288 was and is a joy to watch - straight, clean, with hands of a sublime elegance. Even if its Panerai DNA only shows up at a second or third look.

WS for the 12th of April is live - the theme is ‘Hands’
By: KMII : April 11th, 2019-22:59
The theme for this week’s WS is ‘Hands’. What I mean by that is any and all watches that have more than three. So let’s see chronographs, calendars, multiple time zones, alarms... Looking forward to seeing your multi-handed entries and have a great weeken...

Funny theme my friend .
By: Watchonthewrists : April 11th, 2019-23:34
I have found a few and some of them have very cool hands imho ...
I see Nico is your legal counsel 😉
By: KMII : April 11th, 2019-23:49
Adding your own hand, every watch has four or more 😂 On a more serious note, you have shown some real beauties, with truly special hand designs 👌🏻

What a great theme, my friend! I'll sure play...
By: shortys home : April 11th, 2019-23:43
... starting with a photo that shows quite a few hands over the guilloche dial of the Blancpain Villeret GMT Reveil... ... followed by the tritium filled hands of the Breguet Type XX Aeronavale 3800BR: Have a great weekend everyone! Cheers Henrik (Post ed...
If it’s a wristshot...
By: KMII : April 11th, 2019-23:51
And a three hander, our esteemed legal counsel from Paris says it’s OK 😉 The BP is a shot to die for. And the XX is so charming with the tritium 👌🏻
Thanks, you honor! So here are two additional wristshots...
By: shortys home : April 12th, 2019-00:05
... and one watch even has more than three hands 😎 The Blancpain Villeret Quantieme Complet... ... and a watch that actually has my favorite hands on it, the Hentschel H2 Sport: Cheers Henrik ...
Truly beautiful Henrik!
By: KMII : April 12th, 2019-01:18
I so regret not having been able to attend Paris last time and to see the Henschels live 🤷🏻♂️
thanks [nt]

I love two types of hands...
By: NT931 : April 12th, 2019-02:19
Blued hands (especially when there are 6 of them!) And patinated hands that highlight the charms of vintage. ...
Wonderful, NT931 👌🏻
By: KMII : April 12th, 2019-02:31
The blued ones on your GP chronograph are wonderful indeed! And the patinated ones, too 😊
M.o.D hands ...
By: Ludi : April 12th, 2019-03:16
... yet still the real deal ... vs the next to come (seller pic), original hands... except... ... Oh boy ! M.o.D dial this time. It seems I can’t get the CK2444 the right way :/ Well, I can’t help being happy anyway Hagwe ^^ - Fred ...
My kidneys for a Grana ...
By: Ludi : April 12th, 2019-03:21
... and maybe I might have a slight chance to get those dirty twelves Thanks
ROFL 🤣
By: KMII : April 12th, 2019-03:24
Maybe third time lucky? 😉 Cool pieces either way 👌🏻
Fair point 😂
By: KMII : April 12th, 2019-03:26
And a very cool shot 👌🏻
ROFL 🤣 Good one!
By: KMII : April 12th, 2019-03:58
While I cannot comment on BBC Parliament (the kids ended my TV days five years ago), the alarms really do have it! And you have such a great collection of them, too 👌🏻
LOL! [nt]
By: amanico : April 12th, 2019-04:20
I think you do...
By: KMII : April 12th, 2019-13:11
A nice Minerva Pythagore Aviation, for instance 😉 On the other hand (pun intended) the ones you show are great 👌🏻
Thanks Kristjan!
By: nomadgiles : April 13th, 2019-00:31
And the sun is shinning here today too 😊
No such luck over here...
By: KMII : April 13th, 2019-20:53
But if all works well, we’ll do a bit of city exploration regardless 😊 Get the little ones to stretch their legs and lungs a bit 😉
Thank you so much my dear friend KM!! You are always so kind!
By: Subexplorer : April 12th, 2019-17:59
Appreciate your kind comments so much! Yes the FP Journe is one of my favorites in my collection and arrived during the first days if 2017 . So glad you liked it and the Tudor shot which I was very lucky to shoot taking advantage of the light angle receiv...
Somehow my flights are usually short haul...
By: KMII : April 12th, 2019-21:47
So it’s mostly aisle seats for faster egress. And consequently few watch shots that work 😊 Congratulations - delayed - on your fantastic FPJ 👌🏻
Thank you again my dear KM!! ...
By: Subexplorer : April 13th, 2019-05:55
... I understand you of course. Occasion for a good plane shot comes from time to time and specially on long flights where boredom makes me look for something interesting to do or to view beyond watching a movie or reading a book. Glad you like the FPJ! A...
Time to get Freaky!!
By: NickO : April 12th, 2019-10:56
This one has a minute hand, an hour hand, played a major hand in conceptualizing haute horology as Modern Art, and is incredibly hand-some. That's four hands in my book ...
The ones for the big hands...
By: KMII : April 12th, 2019-13:17
Bold and so cool! Looking like Kern has pored over this part of the vintage catalogues already and I have to say for good reason - yours exude such period charm 👌🏻
two guys at twilight...
By: Izhik : April 12th, 2019-13:35
3 hands..differently organized... really like those hands..actually, I like everything in this watch... ...
Two in my collection . . .
By: Dr No : April 12th, 2019-18:40
. . . that match your theme, K. Not really much for chronos per se , so these will probably be the only ones with multiple hands. Unless Omega sees fit to release an updated Mk II with their latest cal 3861 movement, of course ;-) . . . ...
Two great ones dear Art!! They perfectly fit ...
By: Subexplorer : April 13th, 2019-06:03
... this week end theme!! I specially like the Flightmaster and each time I view yours reminds me of one I let go some time ago with such a great patina!! Regrets regrets!! Hagwe my dear friend!! Abel.
Flightmasters can still be found, Abel . . .
By: Dr No : April 13th, 2019-08:45
. . . but they are seemingly pricier now than, say, six months ago. In my opinion, they're the last of the classic collectible Omegas to garner the attention of the collector community. I'll probably never own a vintage Rail or SM300 - those horses left t...
Absolutely agree dear Art! I know sooner or later
By: Subexplorer : April 13th, 2019-20:48
I’ll get a FM but I need to hurry as interest in these classics keep growing. That particular specimen I remember with regret of letting pass had a wonderful black turned brown dial and an exceptional condition. Hope to find something similar next time!! ...
So true, so very true. To this day, I regret . . .
By: Dr No : April 13th, 2019-08:39
. . . not being able to pull the trigger on that perfect eBay CK2914-2 several years ago. At the time, I simply didn't have the wherewithal to follow, much less win, the auction. A year (or was it two?) later, Omega announced the limited edition I now own...
Simply wow 😲
By: KMII : April 12th, 2019-22:41
And I am not only speaking of the number of hands 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Now that’s something one definitely doesn’t see every day, Tim!
By: KMII : April 13th, 2019-21:01
While I see more UNs here than even Rolex (not lowering its merit by any means), the first and the last from your trio are rare birds indeed, with exquisite hands! The playfulness of the AS is something largely missing nowadays and the sobriety of the LH,...
My son and I agree
By: Brandon Skinner : April 13th, 2019-22:43
The PSM Serpent Calendar has the best hands in the family collection ...
What a fantastic shot!
By: KMII : April 13th, 2019-22:52
There’s many hands voting for this one 👌🏻 And such a heartwarming picture!
Let's put my hand on my hard disk to find the desired hands...
By: Mike H : April 14th, 2019-00:58
That is one I was in love with (and still am)… I wish I still have it... And since we are with chronos, why not proceeding with these 2... L et's not forget the Wonder Watch with its amazing dauphine hands... and let's finish with two other beauties with ...
The Daytonas are cool...
By: KMII : April 14th, 2019-01:15
But the 5070 is simply astounding - possibly some of the best pictures I have seen of the reference 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Very cool piece, JLCMan 👌🏻
By: KMII : April 14th, 2019-03:56
And watches off the beaten path tend to have an appeal all of their own. Superb shot 👌🏻👍🏻
