I didn't plan to let it go but I received such a strong offer that suddenly, I realized that I could finally get the Master Minute Repeater! [nt]

Some pictures of my Ex Panerai Pre Vendome 5218-202/A Marina Militare and a killing detail.
Ok, this non matching dial is a killer in itself and would justify a mad love for it. But there is another detail which is, for any Panerai lover, one of the finest cherry on the cake... A detail which is revealed in the Libretto... The name of the first ...
Mon ami,
to fund the JLC MR is the ONE AND ONLY acceptable excuse to let this PAM go. What a watch...
Even in
the Bible (Old Testament), God waived some sacrifices in the last second. 😊
Alas....
by the time I got bitten by the Panerai bug, I would have had to sell BOTH my kidneys to buy one...Lollllllllllllllllll
The provenance of this watch as Bettarini's personal watch is amazing
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 can understand your conflicted feeling....
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...

I would say less than 1000. 200 in platinum ( 2005 ), 200 in titanium ( 2006 ), then 175 in rose gold for the 175th anniversary of the brand, then the platinum Boutique Black dial ( not LE but special edition ), then some niche LE such as the Sincere, the...
super non-matching Nico,...
mine isn't one but over the years, it has become more "non-matching" LoL. It's interesting to see mine becoming creamier by the day, Mech. ...
The watch is spectacular!
That provenance though..... I'm speechless!!! After all these years still managed to surprise me from time to time Nicolas! Regards Sam PS. Here's a pic of my ex. ...
I learned to stop regretting my decision
Too many painful ones . But it won’t be fun without the headache and heartbreak 😀 Cheers Sam
Listen, I agree this is a great PAM. But exchanged for the MMR?
Tremendously 1-sided deal in your favor. Sometimes things get too valuable to keep for those of us with limited means. You hit a grand slam to win a World Series with this deal.
