Can you imagine the arm needed for that? I would have to start hitting the gym immediately. My vote is on this baby - head to head witht the DSSD!

My father has a small collection of marine chronometers and they are NOT cheap.

I guess that the Panerai one will cost tens of thousands.

My Dad has an Ulysse Nardin from the early 1900s and a more recent Poltjot russian one with a bit of war action history to it.

Another name for them is Deck Watch, but seeing how this might be used on a sub, Marine Chronometer!

Stunning. Thanks for the pic.
