This piece offers a rare glimpse into a highly collectible Panerai and the personal stories that make vintage watch collecting so compelling.
Unbelievable that you let it go - for whatever watch!
to fund the JLC MR is the ONE AND ONLY acceptable excuse to let this PAM go. What a watch...
the Bible (Old Testament), God waived some sacrifices in the last second. 😊
by the time I got bitten by the Panerai bug, I would have had to sell BOTH my kidneys to buy one...Lollllllllllllllllll
But for the life of me I'll never understand the appeal of 'non-matching hands'. To think this helped you fund a JLC MMR is unbelievable and think you made a very wise decision!
I love the 202a and with such special provenance, even more delicious, but I must say you made the right choice with your MMR, till now out of all the MRs I have seen, it is the most unique and appealing, the combination of design and materials is sublime, its time will come, it needs more recognition, also we need an idea of how many were made in total, I think it is a very rare reference. Sometimes I feel JLC is too conservative with its marketing, it needs to be more loud and flashy so people
