This is so damn cool looking :thumbup:

Stupid question alert, but what is the 9 o'clock subdial? Is that power reserve maybe?

^^^^ Correct in one, Michael.

In house, 5 day Power Reserve SH21 inside.

#FunFact - the 5 day PR dial sweeps through 180 degrees on the C7 and C60 Apex models. All other SH21 PR dials sweep through c. 270 degrees.

Ahhh ok. The 1-5 threw me. Was expecting a +/- power dial. Do you find it slows as you get into day 4 and 5? I know this is a common issue with Panerai 8 day models.

If you mean the rate at which it charges slowing as it gets more charged up then, yes, it does, but once its up to a full 5 days charge, providing I wear it daily it will, as one would expect, stay there fully (5 days) charged.

I meant that if fully charged at 5 days does it keep really good time at first but tends to be less accurate as the power reserve dips down in the 1-2 day range. This is something the Panerai is known for. So some people say always wind it up to full charge rather than waiting 5 days between winding

^^^^ Ah yes. Understood.

It is true to say that the SH21 maintains its best accuracy with 3+ days Power Reserve; be it Handwound or Automatic (as in the C60 Apex).

I think the C65 Diver, on vintage leather strap, deserves some sunshine this lunchtime

^^^The stock photos don’t touch the real life pics on that. Must be even better in person!

I present possibly the antithesis to that watch:
