Forgot to mention...

Make sure Ted Hsu sends an extra plastic piece for the buckle mechanism. The brushed buckle is quite sturdy and nice, but apparently the black plastic piece does not last forever. Mine sheared off a small piece shortly after I got it. Wears well / looks good mind you, but for the price...make sure you get a spare, eh?

you know me too well, Rob... BUT - did you know Orange is my second fave colour

i have tried a few times to get the EXPII last year, but didnt pull the trigger, because non of my suppliers were "willing" to change the Red 24hr hand with the Green 24hr from the 116710LN.... so i thought, bugger it, i will wait for the fat Orange 24hr hand instead

none and no. but i do have coluthes and shoes with green bits on it though

almost resprayed one of my cars in Holden Hot House Green when i was in Oz... then decided not to

NOW - back to Panerai Sub topic.....

do you prefer a polished bezel or brushed bezel? from memory, the later series 024 has brushed bezel. what about the case and crown guard?

i think im in love with the 025 waffle dial and Ti case

oh no.....

sleddog · 10 April 2011, 12:13 PM

The 2nd one is interesting

Ok..back to the sub....

I think I prefer the polished bezel....but I do like the contrast of bezel/case + crown guards in one or the other. Will search for pics ...but I believe the D series had a brushed bezel . The advantage of polished is it can be dressed up easier IMO....

The 025 dial looks great in pics.....I would have to try one on because I am liking the weight and feel of the SS 24.....really has great balance on the wrist
