I have the same watch and that's pretty much exactly what I wanted to do with it. Where did you get it?0 -

Can't beat a pam if you can pull one off and the best thing is the entry ones are the best !
Agreed, I'd rather try and find someone to service a modded Unitas than their in-house movement. I went for the 111 because it had the sandwich dial, display case back and second hand.Damn Eoin, now you've installed some Panerai want in me
You're welcome to try it on?0 -

Teotwawki beat me to it, I got the bezel from Pacparts: https://www.pacparts.com/model.cfm?mfg=Casio&model_id=GA2100%2D1A1&row_start=1&src_model_id=GA-2100&action=list_part. The bezel is only $3.39, but with shipping it comes to around €20 all in. A worthwhile upgrade I think
Some people have had some success using nail polish remover to remove the white ink from the stock bevel, but other people have had difficulties removing it and I'd be worried it might cause a reaction with the bezel.0 -

111 is everything youd want in one IMO.
I did a tiny bit of reading up yesterday and contrary me already disagrees with you
I'd go for either a 100 or a 112. Simplicity is beauty. And what's the relevance anyway of a seconds hand on a mechanical watch that's by definition not very accurate? Not having it also means Panerai do not apply for the COSC cert, which should (and does) shave hundreds off the price of the watch. I think I would take the sandwich over the logo and go for the latter
That said, the 111 looks class, I grant you that!0 -

Yeah, I was thinking the same, but I just thought that getting a mechanical watch with no sweeping hand just felt weird. But totally understand liking the simplicity of a 2 hander. The sandwich dial is definitely worth it tho, it really adds some depth.0 -

I don't know how true this is but I read somewhere that it's illegal to deploy it if it's not an emergency...but how else are you going to see an Apache helicopter gunship??
You can deactivate it if you do pull it (wrap the antenna around the watch).
But if you do pull it - the watch is written off.
Breitling used to say that if it was pulled for a real emergency, they'd replace the watch. Not sure if it's still the case.0
