Didn't appreciate these until I recently learned of how the movement works with the 'command dial'. Very impressive!

Is it the steel version? Can't quite tell from the photo.

What a blatant rip off! How do they get away with this?!

Wearing my Panerai Luminor Marina today so on my high horse!
Indeed. I had to look twice. Not that the rest of the watch isn't, but that crownwheel cover design is well patented.

How about someone does a Countdown word check on PARNIS - might be a cheeky Chinese anagram scratchchin

Very nice watch. I really like the Skydweller. Keep thinking if I had a good year work wise it would be great to get the 326935 version with chocolate dial.

Still though also really like my Vacheron Overseas.

How do you find the overseas?
Have never had one but have tried on the non chrono version and it was really very nice. Horrifically expensive these days though.

Ingenieur for me today

You can't go wrong with an IWC Ingenieur IMHO

Re the overseas, it is a lovely watch to own. If for example you look at the gauge of the gold used in the deployant strap, it's been done to be "right" and so uses more gold than is technically required which helps to create a high quality feel.

Having said that, you tend to find not many people know much about the brand. For example a chap in my office commented on it the other day. He said "nice watch". Feeling pleased with myself, I said "thanks very much". Then he said "is it Michael Kors"? "Er... well ..I guess it is similar in some ways" was all I could muster eek

Love the VC Overseas especially given how low key it is for a watch of that price bracket/calibre.

Really like those. BB41 has 2824 movement, no? Is it likely to get an in-house MT movement anytime soon?

I love this. I was going to buy a Tudor Black Bay Bronze but I think it would be a little too big for my wrist, I might give one of these a go.
