By: MiniCooper : May 13th, 2010-12:55
Inspired by Nicolas post about the European GTG.... a purist watch today.... not my photo (credit to Nicolas I think) a friendship watch... HAGWE Cheers...
As a coincidence ...
By: amanico : May 13th, 2010-13:06
I will wear almost the same watch, my friend, but in a different version, tomorrow... HAGWE! Nicolas...
Maybe.....
By: MiniCooper : May 14th, 2010-01:23
you should reconsider my friend.... and wear the Paris edition..... No. 7 should do likewise..... Cheers ps re-reading this it does sound like Spektre... lol
Nr Seven... Sounds strange! :)
By: amanico : May 14th, 2010-06:28
On this one, it is Nr 24...Like the 24 Hours Le Mans Race... Best, Nr 8, and 2! Nicolas
I meant....
By: MiniCooper : May 16th, 2010-06:49
that No 7 should wear his too.... cheers
Sorry my friends ...

Reverse ?
By: AndrewD : May 13th, 2010-13:54
Reverse, obverse, inverse, converse, opposite, polar, antipode, contrary, diametric, back, counter, flipside, contrariant, backside, rear or, perhaps, just the other side! Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grand Date, Ref. 300.84.20 (Cal. 875), 28800vph, 25 jewels...
Baby got back! :-)
By: dxboon : May 14th, 2010-01:09
Gorgeous rear view, Andrew! HAGWE! Daos
One of my (if not the) favourite Reversos
By: stromer : May 14th, 2010-02:14
The Grande Date is really a watch of extraordinary beauty (both sides). It is one of the hot candidates for my first new JLC. Best, Martin
The Far Side ...
By: AndrewD : May 14th, 2010-04:31
... just for you, Martin. Hope you get a Reverso one day. Andrew...
So hope I
By: stromer : May 14th, 2010-04:49
The front, far, light, dial, outer, presentation side of the Grande Date is at least as tempting as the back, near, dark, movement, hidden one. Thank you, Andrew, for the pictures! Best, Martin
Good choice for every day ...
By: AndrewD : May 14th, 2010-16:53
Thanks Stefan, As you can see from the date, I wound this last Sunday in preparation for the week. It has been a while since I wore the GD and I had forgotten what a pleasure it is to wear a long power reserve watch. The RdM is icing on the cake as it acc...

and great watch. Best Andreas
Have fun, Filip!

Take good care of "our" watch! Fun picture this week! Cheers, Daos
A pseudo Compressor
By: nilomis : May 13th, 2010-16:09
A very simple, or should I say pedestrian, watch, but I love the 70s look and the pseudo compressor case: Don't know why but looks better on a 70's style B/W. Cheers to all, Nilo...
Why pseudo?
By: amanico : May 13th, 2010-20:11
Not sure it is not a Compressor Case... Can you provide us more pics of this Tissot? Very nice picture, by the way! Best, Nicolas
The pseudo compressor
By: nilomis : May 14th, 2010-03:10
Nicolas, I use the term "pseudo" because there is, I believe but I will double check, no "helmet" on the case back. As far I know, the "compressor" case derives from a patent made by Ervin Piquerez, that was licensed to some companies (JLC, Longines, Enic...
Looks very good, Nilo!
By: blomman Mr Blue : May 14th, 2010-03:14
Question? Is it the same crowns on that one as the Polaris and the LLD? HAGWE Blomman
Tissot crowns
By: nilomis : May 14th, 2010-03:50
Blomman, The Tissot uses regular Tissot ("T") crowns, as you can try to see on this pic: Cheers, Nilo...
Thanks for info, Nilo!
By: blomman Mr Blue : May 14th, 2010-04:08
Beautiful back-side on your Tissot! Best Blomman
Nilo...I still wonder if it is not a super compressor case...
By: amanico : May 14th, 2010-06:25
It has been used by so many brands ( around 20 different brands ) that I don't swee why Tissot didn't use it... It really looks like a Super Compressor case. Would be interested to see the inside part of the case back... Best, Nicolas
A master is a ... Master
By: nilomis : May 14th, 2010-13:29
Nicolas, You were 110% correct, one more time. Stopped by my watchmaker and had the Tissot open: Now I have a true compressor case. Is not a Polaris but ... it's cool and I'm looking this watch with another eyes. Notice that the case back is "bayonet styl...
Nilo, i dont think...
By: G99 : May 14th, 2010-13:39
Nilo, i dont think that little 'diver' symbol on the inside represents EPSA. i've seen a number of watches including standard Omega seamasters with that symbol. i think it just symbolises a water resistant watch. to find tissot production dates google Tis...
No master here, my friend...
By: amanico : May 14th, 2010-13:47
Just a guy who try to find his way... Best, and congrats on your Super Compressor Case!!! Nicolas

By: FanFrancisco : May 14th, 2010-20:31
... here is a pic of inside caseback of my Fortis, you can clearly see the "Super Compressor" logo and words and also other words like "Brevet..." . as Graham said, the small logo appeared on the inside caseback of your watch can be found in my many Omega...
Nilo, it may not...
By: G99 : May 15th, 2010-03:19
Nilo, it may not be an EPSA super compressor, but it is still the same in essence. a double crown dive watch with internal rotating bezel. lovely watch whoever made the case. best Graham
i also got one diver very similar with yours..
By: FanFrancisco : May 14th, 2010-07:16
recently, i got one Fortis Marinemaster which also has two crowns, the caseback of mine looks very similar as yours that also has a big something like marine logo. i don't have tool to open the caseback, but according to the photos provided by the seller,...

Hi Arthur, Nice to see your new Pam. As another non-Pam fan, I seem to find myself looking at Panerai's every few months and trying some on. Perhaps I am late to the 'party', but there is still something that draws me to these watches. Unlike you, however...
Hi Andrew
By: ArthurSG : May 14th, 2010-20:02
well for me, there isn;t a right PAM as frankly, they all look rather the same for me. How did I end up with the 326? Well, I don't bother with the movement for PAMs because there isn't much to bother about for "Pam" movements. SO its down aesthetics...no...

Yes, sweet torture it is! :)
By: blomman Mr Blue : May 15th, 2010-00:10
The problem is to stay focused – so many awesome watches around! My mind is racing in many different directions after seeing a Friday WS-show! Best Blomman
Very nice.
