How do you use the Panerai as a diver without a diver bezel?

the DSSD also every other day.

My slightly biased suggestion! :)

Mike, It kept awful time (+11 seconds a day) and I had extremely poor customer service when I complained about this. It was a big let down.

Ah, that's a shame. Nice looking though... hm, sounds like my 1st girlfriend.

You know you need to try the AP Diver or an IWC DeepTwo, right?

Great choices! Amazing the diversity of "look" they offer yet they have one common purpose. Mind me asking, what is the paper you used to take the pics over?
