And make no mistake, this is an incredibly lust-worthy watch. … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Panerai’s Midas touch – the Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Automatic Oro Rosso (PAM 684) appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Mike and Kaz talk shop with some of the early Baselworld 2017 releases that've been coming out... surprisingly they're quite excited about a few of them!
