http://www.justhideandwatch.com Wed, 24 Feb 2010 17:00:07 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I honestly never thought this day would come, but I finally managed to land my grail of grails. The Panerai 127 Luminor 1950. This has been my grail piece since about 2 months after I discovered Panerai and now I fully understand what all the fuss is about! I ... http://www.justhideandwatch.com/the-panerai-127-luminor-1950/ I just received this in the mail on Friday and love the way it looks on a PVD piece.  The first photo is most indicative of the color, but it can look bluish in some lights, as it does in the second photo.  Enjoy! http://www.justhideandwatch.com/the-pam-26-pvd-destro-on-altamarea-gray-nubuck-gator/ Lately I've been primarily collecting Panerai, but I decided to venture out and try another brand to spice things up. I used to have the 44mm IWC Top Gun chronograph 3789-01, but only for a brief period of time. For some reason the 44mm version just didn't quite ... http://www.justhideandwatch.com/the-iwc-top-gun-double-chronograph-3799-01/ I just got a couple new straps last week, and decided to shoot some photos of them on my two most recent pickups. Enjoy! The strap on the 232 is a Kaktus vintage leather, and the strap on the Panerai 26 is a Kevin ammo strap. The Kaktus strap is a ... http://www.justhideandwatch.com/the-panerai-26-pvd-destro-232-radiomir-1938/ This might be my favorite strap to pair with the Panerai 243 submersible. Something about the stitchless strap, with the oversized buckle just seems to compliment the submersible. I'm a huge fan of the large buckle. A couple more shots! http://www.justhideandwatch.com/282/ This was my first special edition Panerai, and it came to me straight from the Florence Panerai boutique. This watch is not for the faint of heart! The applied markers on the bezel make this watch really stand out on the wrist.

I've got a ton of stuff to post, and here's a teaser. I just picked this one up 2 weeks ago and am loving the tobacco dial. Stay tuned for lots of strap and watch posts coming soon! http://www.justhideandwatch.com/the-panerai-232-radiomir-1938/ My fiance snagged this beauty for me as an early wedding present, and some proper photos are long overdue. The blue dial on this watch is the perfect shade of blue. Just the perfect shade of navy blue. It looks almost black in dim light, and a ... http://www.justhideandwatch.com/the-breitling-superocean-steelfish/ I jumped all over this one when Simona was running a special, and was very pleased that I did. This one is a bit of a departure from Simona's historic looking calf straps or her legendary gators, and it is a welcome direction in my opinion. I really like the ... http://www.justhideandwatch.com/the-simona-straps-military-saddle-stitchless-strap/ I'm beside myself with excitement waiting for this one to show up. Here's the photo that Micah sent to let me know it's on the way! http://www.justhideandwatch.com/incoming-the-vintager-straps-by-micah-z-matten-ammo-strap/
