Officine Panerai

No, no, this is not a new fairy tale coming from my crazy brain...LOL The Cali is one of the most difficult watch to take in pic, and since quite 18 months that I own it, I rarely took good quality pics of this watch, due to its large cushion polished SS ...

adriatic sea is one of the prettiest place to see. First, I was not a fan of the cali ,but it's changing. ,it's the only pam with nothing written on it ,isn't it? I like it. when i saw written "onion " i thought your post was about a pocket watch. lol Enj... 

BTW, let Yavez know the watch I should never have sold is coming back to the roost finally after a hiatus of 5 long years and constant badgering Gotten a nice suntan sitting in the guy's safe all that time, don't you think now...  

You get a very special 127, my friend! Your collection is not great, but giant, my friend. A pity you sold your Cali, it had a very special number and a nice stroy, as it was the very first to be launched, if I remember well... I will tell to Yavez, of co...

No message body

for 5 years until he finally had to give in to me to sell it back is the proud owner of that piece. I'm working on him though for that one. Pretty cool ain't it?

I know you and all your watches did have a great holiday in Italy. I also found that the Cali is hard to capture by any lens, only the human eyes can find the real beauty of the watch. By the way, very nice strap and interesting buckle...can you share som... 

But after more than a thousand pics taken on this watch, I begin to understand how to do... As for the strap, there is no problem with our forum rules, as it is a proto made in less than, 10 pieces, and the brand which made them doesn't exist anymore... S... 

The thin strap is exactly what I want for my Cali. Thanks for info. Cheers PS.....more than thousand pics have been taken!!! Hey, I need to take more snap shots of the cali. I think it will take more than 3 months for me to get the right shot(s).. LoL

Yes, I took a bit more than a thousand pics, to finally be quite happy with less than 15... A Hell! As for the strap, go with a pic of mine to a good strapmaker, and ask him to do for you exactly the same strap, it's not difficult... Best, my friend. Nico... 

welcome back from "long" lovely holiday, now am wondering what is your true profession, photographer cum horologic writer or else ....LOL fantastic pictures, your 249 pictures prettier than the metal ha....

only you would mount your 249 on a string of onions to take pictures!!! Very nice story and excellent pictures as always. Simon

After the turtle shot, with a Logo and a Mare, the Ham Shot with a Submersible Slytech, and a Marina Militare, now it 's the oignion shot... Wait a bit for the Polaris, it also had a special treatment..LOL Best. Nicolas

oNE OF MY FAVOURITE PIECES!! mERCI BEAUCOUP!

I must admit that many models by Panerai attract me (especially those of many years ago) and that in more recent productions are some interesting models. However, the simplicity and minimalism of Cali I love more with each passing day. The incidence of li...
