The answer to the equation is...
Ciao my fellow Paneristis! Hope you all are having a great start to the week! Well, here comes the answer that all of you have been waiting since i posted the mathematical question a few weeks ago! The VISUAL answer to the question of what does a 309 + a ...
Congratulations Stephen!
Wordless to say, it looks more patina than the old 249. So your lucky no. is 7-up (Here they like 7 too as 7-Up, 8-Down....) Wear in the best of health! Nien
Really!?
I thought China always loved 8! Yes, the patina is indeed more than that of the 249! Loving loving this piece! Cheers Stephen
Stephen Congrats

Thank you so much Nad!

Looking good matey...
Is it the dark grey Nubuk OEM alligator you got onto your 349 baby now?
Congratulations Stephen.
Thanks for sharing this so unique day with us. Your pleasure is obvious on these pics. Happy man. Cheers, patrickh
Stephen, is it a sandwich dial or
batons, Roman and Numeral markers are painted. Not so easy to determine on pics. Thanks, Patrickh
They are painted mon ami!
No sandwich on this one! Method same as on 249, except i seem to find that my 349 is even more patinated than on the 249! But the lume is cool! As you can see! Merci et a beintot! Stephen
Thanks cap!

It almost felt like I was able to go along to visit the store. Congrats on your holy grail watch.
Thank you my very best friend!
I wish you were here with a huge bowl of clam chowder, for 7! Cheers and talk to you soon! Stephen
Congratulations....
a great addition to your Panerais...... The only limited edition that you miss would be the Egyptian .... but this is really big and difficult to wear...... Cheers
Thanks Pink
But you are not correct, i WON'T be missing the Egiziano, i will be receiving the 1st piece in Japan and i WILL be wearing mine! It's just not here yet, piece got delayed due to plexiglas problem. I don't think anyone got theirs yet, except maybe in the s...
Wow.....

Will do pink!
Since when did i ever left you fellows in the dark about my Panerai purchases?! You guys are often the very 1st humans on earth to see my pieces, not even my friends here see them yet! Cheers and look forward to them sometimes in February or March 2010! S...
the answer to the equation is one happy and lucky guy!
Congrats, Stephen! Your 47mm Rad collection is stunning! You are extremely fortunate and I thank you for taking us along on the day you picked up another holy grail. I loved the grey Jules Verne, BTW. It looks killer! Congrats and I can only hope you are ...
Lol, actually im having a bit of a hangover from this morning!
But it's good to be touching my pieces this morning! Thank you my friend, for always being there and your support and words means alot to me! The grey JV is actually a special order, because the normal JV ( lol although there is nothing normal about a JV ...
Ah Ha!
Ah Ha Blunotte, Not only is it great looking (Wow), it all makes sense now. Thanks for the puzzle. Enjoy it, Mark
Congratulations Stephan !!!!!!
You look like a very happy man in your photos and i can understand why.I have enjoyed our "conversations" very much and i cannot think of a better person to receive this watch.You are an honest man and i hope you enjoy this pam for many years to come. May...
I should be the one thanking you
For the many help provided to me during my Hergestellt in Deutschland question time! Thank you for your many kinds words, and of course we can go eat fugu when you come! Lol, it's not THAT dangerous, dunno why Discovery channel says about it, but hey iv e...
Congrats, Stephen!
Whatever the number, your new pickup adds up to a whole lot of fun! The new PAM is so very handsome and a great addition to your collection. Thanks for all the photos! Enjoy your new watch! Cheers, Daos
Daos my friend!
Thank you for this! Yes, i definitely love this piece very much, because it not only satisfies all that I want in a Panerai, it is so damn rare too! I love it! Cheers Stephen
Love the titanium on a Radiomir case... and that dial , WOW ! congratulations Stephen!
My AD will be in trouble if he does not find me one of the 11 remaining! What a way to start the week! cheers Luc
Is your AD a boutique?
I am sorry to say this but this piece is a boutique only piece, and even then not all the boutiques in the world will be getting it. Tokyo missed out on the 267, so at least OP was fair this time round to give one my way! But of course you can always try,...
Yes, Stephen it is a boutique, sorry for not being more precise!
and I have been called to arrange a visit. Flying on friday I hope if I can move meetings away Ciao Luc
Thanks, I must say that work did not leave a free minute (or sunday, or night)
and that you caught me by surprise! My "dealer' meant that he was not surprised by my urgent phone call . Lucky you did your post , Your watch is stunning, when I saw limited to 12 units there was no time to loose. I actually have my toy dealer waiting fo...
You into toys too Luc?!
Which kinds? You should check out my post on Transformers recently on TimeOut! You might enjoy them too! Cheers Stephen
Will do immediately!
I am in all kinds of miniatures, mostly 1:12, 1:8, 1:4 but also all the produces Lambos from MR/ Looksmart Comics are also my world I will post soon about it Cheers Luc
Ahh, model cars ay!
I wish i could have the space and money to dedicate that much into cars too, but well one can't have everything! I used to collect Spawn too, although now i'm starting to get into their latest work Haunt! Cheers Stephen
SUPER...SUPER...SUPERRRRR_WATCH!
Congrats my friend! You looks really happy, so Im sure you deserve it! Enjoy it, and wear it in goooooooood health! LOVE the JV combo. Did you ordered it in advance? Im waiting 2 customized black JV (27/24 with OEM historic sewn-in buckle)...and love to s...
I sure did!
The straps came in a long time ago, and i always have a few on standby at the boutique in case i want to change. I only use 26/26 straps, and OEM at that, so yes! Thank you and im enjoying it very very much! No wearing yet though, just looking! Cheers Ste...
Congratulation !!!
Thanks for sharing your joy and those beautiful pictures Stephen! The 349 looks really great. A couple of question to feed my curiosity.....I've noticed the lovely patina and I think I have never seen it before on any contemporary Panerai, is that some ki...
Ciao Ale!
Always great and feel like a great honour to be hearing from someone in Italia! I was so happy yesterday when i went to pick up my grail that i sang "Fratelli d'Italia"! Do you know that i don't even know how to sing my own country's national anthem, but ...
Grazie !
Grazie mille for your quick reply Stephen. You definitely own one of the greatest timepieces ever made by Panerai in the Richemont era. Enjoy it !!! And it's an honour to me to receive such a strong sign of appreciation for my beloved homecountry. Thanks ...
Prego Ale!
Thank you for the kind words too! I will own and cherish this Radiomir for life! One day down the road perhaps it will be known as something great! But whether that day comes or not matters nothing to me, because this watch, and my relationship with it is...
Congrats, Stephen
Thanks for sharing the wonderful pictures of the beauty Enjoy the beauty with much joy and great health Best, ed
Congrats, my friend!
This is a lovely pick up! Hope I get to see it in the metal :P cheers, Moses
I'm happy for you .... But the people at Panerai are morons
I really can't find one single reason why they want to frustrate a lot of clients by making only 12 pce. THIS IS TOO STUPID ! Make at least 100 pce or make nothing
I agree sometimes
For example the 267 which was made in only 6 pieces, that i think is very stupid as well. Lol, Cheers Stephen
impressive
i love the combination of two diffirent types of numbering , makes the watch look enigmatic, it gives it the look of coded like dial. Faisal
Ok! Busy is good in these economic times...
BUT remember to take care of your health, especially when the season gets cold, it is very easy to fall sick... I guess we both won't be getting our Egiziano's within the year, i dunno what your AD told you, but on my side nothing will come until at least...
