I have a bronze itch that needs scratching... (pics)
Discussion
After watching a film that featured a lot of Paneria Luminor Submersibles PAM507 in "bronzo" (bronze) - yes it was Expendables 2 
, I have developed a bit of a bronze itch.....
Pics of the Panerai to lust over....
The Panerai is WELL out of my price range so I looked elsewhere and I have found the Steinhart Marine-Officer in Bronze which is within budget.... the only thing that is putting me off is the 3ATM water resistance rating....

Anyone else have any other recommendations other than the Steinhart?

In actual fact we have very similar tastes (except the Daytona, I don't like them at all)... I am picking a white face speedy up from USA in May.

I have coffee now so it is already 10x betterHow about the Precista PRS-30? http://www.timefactors.com/precista.htm (and scroll down). More than a passing resemblance to the Panerai but without the frankly outrageous price tag.
Be wary as well of bronze vs brass... I know it's just a bit of tin or zinc seperating them but the patina that you want with bronze will not be the same with a brass watch. It will just blacken.

W/R to the Panerai, I knew it would be expensive but not THAT expensive.....Be wary as well of bronze vs brass... I know it's just a bit of tin or zinc seperating them but the patina that you want with bronze will not be the same with a brass watch. It will just blacken.
That Precista actually looks very nice! hmmm...
Thanks Yeti

Ding-a-flipping-ling - I read a review and thought hmm, nice, second hand that might be 5k in a few years... then I saw the RRP and spat my coffee out! Bronze is so, so cheap, how can they justify charging Platinum prices for it!!
