It was truly a pleasure finally meeting you
Along with what you've done here at Purist, I remember you as a mod of a different Panerai enthusiast site. But always nice to finally put a face to the name. What a blast to hear first hand account of how you got your 21! Of course having an opportunity to see the 2012 collection along with talking to Raphael Alvarez and other Purists made it a tremendous evening.
While being the event photographer, you were still a gracious host. Thanks again!!!

PART II: Cocktail event at the Panerai NYC Boutique
Guests begin to trickle in at the Panerai NYC Boutique on Madison Ave. A vast majority of the people tonight are new faces and are attending their 1st PuristS event. All photos below are posted in chronological order, so you get a better feel of the order...
Great event!
I decided it's the 422 for me! What a great opportunity to try on all the new models!
Great report. Happy to see Mr Alvarez in good hands guys!
We miss him seriously in Spain.
PART III: Dinner
We all begin to head out of the Boutique and walk around the corner to Core Club which is a private membership club where we're having our dinner for the night. Up the elevator we go! Looks like Panerai booked this entire floor as there were Panerai vitri...
Terrific event!
This was my first Panerai Purists Pro event and it was indeed a really special night. Being able to dine in such a great atmosphere with really good people and some serious collectors made my summer. I learned alot, enjoyed the 'borherhood' and was learne...

Thanks for the kind words
Yes, I used to be one of the moderators on Paneristi.com so your memory is correct. It's always fun snapping pictures at our events since I still do all this out of passion :) Thanks once again! Cheers, Anthony
re: Panerai NYC
Looks like another great event by PPro and Panerai, thanks for the report! -MW
It was good to see you again Anthony! It has been a while...
It was also great to meet the other Purist Paneristis :) Awesome venue and the dinner was spectacular! Just wanted to thank you for being such a gracious host and to Panerai for having this wonderful event. Great post!
Excellent event!
I attended the event last week with a friend and we both had a great time. Anthony and I were seated at the same table for dinner and I agree completely with him, it was great conversation and a great group of people! My friend isn't as big a watch guy as...
Another great event with Panerai
Looks like another great PuristSPro event with Panerai. Thanks for the photo report Anthony. Regards, ED-209
Kudos to our tenacious GM of PuristSPro!
Nice work Anthony! and looks like a fabulous time was had in NYC like we did here in LA! Thank you to PuristSPro and Panerai!
Sooner or later I'll manage to get to one of these...
..perhaps after the taint of my TZ moderator status wears off. ;-) In the meantime, I was able to attend the Tuesday event with Ben, and I must say that while I was convinced going in that Panerai had nothing left to offer me (the 372 really pushes all my...
Favorites from the NYC event?
For those attendees (including Anthony of course), which of the 2012 pieces were your favorites? For me, it was the 422 as I posted earlier. Would love to know what some of the other favorites were. Or which pieces did the boutique staff get the most inqu...
My favorites are the PAM398 / 399
One of the sexiest Panerai's made so far IMO. http://panerai.watchprosite.com/img/watchprosite/panerai/38/scaled/panerai_image.2856138.jpg Cheers, Anthony ...
Agreed!
One of the best indeed. I hope more will be produced. Don't recall this was available for view at the NYC event (?)
The PAM398 and PAM399 were available for viewing at the NYC event
Hopefully the NYC Boutique will have them on display again sometime. It's best to call them to see. Cheers, Anthony
