My "Jules Verne" 233
I've always heard of Paneral, never owned one till now....man, I clearly didn't know what I was missing. The workmanship is truly amazing. I was originally torn between the 177 and the 104, then I came across the 233 ... I was done, it hit me instantly....then the quest began. I was fortunate to locate this watch right around the corner from where I work (47th St. NYC). I was able to get a slightly worn JV strap in the deal. I must say, I love this watch...I can't stop looking at the time..lol I may have to get it a friend, I think the 249 is calling my name... Here are a few pics:
Regards, Marc

Hi, Marc, seems you've been bitten by the Panerai Virus!
You just took this 233, and now you're considering a Cali? You're right, totally right, my friend...The Cali is one of the roots of Panerai! Jump on it! Best. Nicolas PS: nice strap, BTW!
I have the Virus......
and I hear there is no vaccine,,,,lol Thanks Nicholas, I have the opportunity to get a Cali (NIB) at what seems to be a "reasonable" price. I'm going to trade in my Rolex 16220 "K" series that is about 99% since I've worn it about 10 times. Regards, Marc
Your JV looks great when aging...
This OEM is tough to beat. I also have the JV for my wife's 219 and she loves it without any doubt. Cheers...
Congrats Marc on ur 1st Panerai! And welcome to the forum!
Simply awesome first PAM, and yes, there is no cure for the Panerai virus. The only temporary fix is to buy a 2nd PAM which looks like it'll be a PAM249 Great choice and keep us update on how the Panerai virus is holding up Cheers, Anthony
