Abe Fromen 1,620 Posted March 18, 2022 This came in the post today and it's so very different from anything I've had previously. This is going to get a lot of wrist time. It's so light and comfortable on the wrist and the dial legibility is out of this world. Super chuffed about this one. And for scale, the 960 beside my 906. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dino 2 Posted March 29, 2022 Looks nice for the younger age group but my preference is the dress type. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

APjumbo 3,031 Posted July 8, 2022 You keep posting awesome shots of this one and now I want one. How does the 42mm wear compared to a Rolex sub. Why can’t they make these subs in 44? And the weight of a 47 is probably no problem with these but are big watches dying off? Your blue/black one and the 47mm green/black one look killer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry man, i literally just saw this post now. I actually haven't had a submariner but i have had a ceramic sea dweller. Feel is about the same but different cuz strap vs bracelet. There IS now a 44mm carbotech . I know Trusty sells it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
APjumbo 3,031 Posted June 23, 2023 I have actually since gotten a 47mm carbon and am sort of keeping my eye open for a 42mm in steel (due 904?) Been on a panerai trend the last few weeks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Been on a panerai trend the last few weeks. It's funny cuz I used to hate submersibles in the luminor case, but since the fiddy case has been applied, I LOVE them. I picked up that blue 1289 about a month ago and I literally haven't worn any other watch since. I'm actually wondering if I'll wear my 960 again or as much (at least).

Just ordered one of these from Jtime so waiting on QCs. A lot of pics I see the blue is a different colour so I guess it's just lighting or post editing. I tried the gen on and its the most comfortable watch Ive ever had on my wrist. How you finding it a few months in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SamiJ 18 Posted August 11, 2023 I don't have too much experience with leather or other kinds of wristbands. Which watches come with the most comfortable leather or rubber wristbands factory? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That said, I got a 1289 a few months ago and the 960 has become a box queen. lol WIS people are fickle AF, aren't we? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

L.O.V.E the way you guys picked up the conversation after a year without missing a beat. Amazing! That is unless I am misreading the dates—then I’m an idiot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BartSimpson 0 Posted November 19, 2023 I was also looking into Carbotech but Ian afraid it would feel too plastic… what would you say how it feels? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
