Panerai Pam 111

[SOLD]

At last having my first panerai. After plunge in the horology world for a while. I have admire panerai and eyeing this brand as time goes by. But with having 44 mm diameter i never have the courage to own it. So i try to buy the homage first from getat. And it takes time to get used to a big watch on my small wrist. As my willing to have a panerai is unstopable anymore i took a move to the nearest AD in my town. And pam 111 is my choice. A nice simple basic historic pam for the entry level paneristi. This pam 111 is using panerai caliber OP XI which is based on ETA 6497/2. which is manual winding movement. With a Diameter 44mm and Stainless steel polish case.

Overall Pam 111 is a good choice for those who want to try panerai for their entry level. also consider 000, 219 and many more historic base to choose.
i like the manual winding movent and its the first manual winding movement i have

IWC Pilot Chronograph 3717-01

[SOLD]

My First IWC also One of my Favourite brand

I don't know where or why i like IWC. Maybe just because the name IWC sounds so catchy n easy to remember. From then i started to find information about this watch also the history. And this 3717 have got catch my heart so quick. The movement it self uses IWC Caliber 79320 which is base on Valjoux 7750. With a Diameter of 42mm is a perfect fit for my wrist. And a Stainless steel case equipped. This is claimed to have 44 hours power reserve, but i never test the PR. This is one of the most favourite pilot watch in the pilot line. Affordable n robust.

Tag Heuer Grand Carrera Calibre 6

Hi, first time making blog. so maybe this is the simple blog u guys ever met.
Starting to like watch since i was a kid. And start having a serious automatic watch since 2010 that was when i was 28. [and yes i purchased it with my own earned money].
My first serious watch is Tag Heuer. The brand i knew beside Rolex which i think i can't afford Rolex that time. I was admiring Tag heuer Monaco 69 so much that time, but well i realize i can't afford the monaco 69 that time.
So i went to the Tag Heuer Exebition in my town. To look for what watch i could afford that time.
I was so amaze because this is my first time looking n trying a real watch , because all of the time before i could only admiring the watch from the internet. Confuse of so many different choice n this is my first time of having a real automatic watch so i dont have any spesific type. because i know so little about watch at that time. So i choose basicly which fit my wrist n what dial colour i like n croc leather i dream. Yet i got one that catch my eyes and heart. It's Tag Heuer Grand Carrera Calibre 6 with black croc leather. Yes it's what i bring home with smile and happy feelings. The calibre 6 RS it self is based on ETA 2895-2, chronometer grade, and COSC-certified movement. It's Diameter of 40.2 mm. With a Stainless steel case.

40.2mm

Over all is nice watch to have as an first real watch for me.
thx for reading
