Yeah, I guess I don't have your special brand of humour.

This baby has a GMT function, very limited edition, very special movement and a case that is simply stunning. And I swear I am not a Panerista. I just picked that one because I saw you like the big models with a technical design and chrono or 8day movement. This one has it all plus the GMT and the limited edition.

Thanks, Till. I was really more interested in the Hublot but I heard JC Biver mention the BB series is due for remodel in 2010 or 2011 (I can't remember). No idea how radical this would be but there's going to be lume now.

I think I'm still going to get it anyway.

Panerai has been in my sights for a while. I'm interested in the Manufacture models (was looking at the 268) but have heard repeatedly of the horrid repair service. This is the sole reason for my holding out.
