The Story Behind This Watch

It may not look like it in the picture, but this is now the biggest watch I own at 45mm without the crown. I had seen this one over on the “Poor Man’s” Watch Forum a couple of times, mentioned for people looking for a Panerai style watch, and at first I did not like it. The minute hand, I think, is what bothered me. After seeing it several more times I realized that it was slowly growing on me more and more. After I sold a few watches and had the money, I ended up deciding on this watch for that next purchase. I am not disappointed!

Was not getting any wrist time, so off it went.
