My new PanoReserve!!

Well, even though I haven't sold the Rolex yet, I took the plunge and bought the Glashutte Original PanoReserve in stainless yesterday in Toronto. I've taken a few quick pics, but will get the light box out and do something better later on today (I hope).

Here is the dial side - very well made dials, nice case finish......shows hours, minutes, and sub seconds, plus power reserve and big date. Note that there is no divider in the date window - the two date disks have a very close concentricity tolerance. The date changes with a nice click right on midnight.



Here is the movement - a work of art. Very well finished 3/4 plate, double swan's neck regulation, screwed balance, screwed gold chatons - top notch stuff! My first hand wound watch as well.



Here is a wrist shot - the strap was quite big, so they switched it for another that was a bit smaller, and it fits well (using the smallest adjustment possible). It's a fairly heavy watch compared to my JLC, but certainly nothing that would be too heavy. I was a bit worried about the size (39mm I read but have not measured it to be certain), but the proportions of the bezel and dial don't make it look too big on me.



I am very pleased with this watch, and got a very good price on it as well. I have a hard time keeping my eyes off it!!

I promise better pictures later, especially of the movement........
