Thx Newton and Devin....but I'm not holding my breath on the movement..kind of have the feeling it will be "hit" or "miss"..but some owners have found them to be quite accurate though..we shall see...but for $100..had to give it a shot!!

Thank you..will see how it holds up..and if I decide to flip it..I will definitely give you a shout...I think its always a bit of a gamble with purchases like this..but one that at least can be absorbed.

This is a no-brainer. I have a couple of pieces with those movements, and they work very well indeed.  Enjoy!

Just to chime in...

I have the PVD version of yours; I have had it for a couple of years and although I don't wear it often it is always good to go when I do.

Congrats Buddy!

These hold up quite well. Had a few of them myself and they are very nice.

Can't beat 'em for the price & accuracy is pretty dead on too.I purchased 1 b4 buying my 1st Panerai-just too make sure of the size & fit & I still have it,it sits in my winder but whenever I do look @ it it's right on the money.Mine came on a pretty well made strap as well-the watch was free in my eyes.

CONGRATS Antoine

Thx William....you hit the nail on the head..wanted to try it out for size..as I will someday have that Panerai Submersible on my wrist...and I couldn't pass up the the price either..considering it even had a sapphire crystal.

Very nice homage piece. He makes a solid watch for such little coin.
