 that looks real nice Phil. I have a Tan leather Heroic18 strap that I can use on mine, but I need to find a high quality 24mm PVD screw-in buckle first... I am picky!

 Thanks... I found my buckle at pana****. The picture shows a silver screw but mine was black.

 Nice Ti MM homage. Are you getting this from Helenerou or somebody else?

 Steve...Congratulations on the Marina Militare.  Looks fantastic in PVD!!  Excellent looking piece.ThumbsUp02.gif

I recently picked up a Boschett Reef Ranger (Blue without date magnification)...great timepiece...very happy with it and I have been considering a Pan**** homage timepiece recently and have been considering some of the options out there including a Marina Militare, Joa, Destro, IWI, etc....

Are you happy with the overall quality of this piece in person and would you mind sharing where you got it and for how much?

Thanks,

Chris

 ok so I bought this one thinking I would mess with it. I found out I should leave the watchmaking skills to those with experience... but this story has a happy ending...



a few weeks after the destruction of my watch, I started to sand the case with 1000 grit waterproof sandpaper and I am very happy with the results, it looks just like my 1944 M1 Carbine rifle barrel. I also submerged the case in water for 24 hours and no water got into the case, just wanted to test that.

now I have shipped the case and dial off to Jeff The Watch Dude and he is going to put in a new movement, gold hands, and the dial back in for me. I am going to wear this one on a vintage brown strap.



I will post the new watch when it returns. - steve
