Panerai Pre Vendome: A Group Shot.
That was the state of my Panerai collection in the first months of 2006.
I had many more, but those were the ones I kept, before letting the MM 202/A go, as well as the Mare Nostrum Slytech smooth bezel and the Daylight Slytech.
I kept the Logo and the Mare Pre Vendome, but they both disappeared in 2011, alas.
Good memories, though.
Best,
Nicolas

Funny that the 5218-203A...
...and the 5218-205A Slytech Submersible very seldom appear in "family pictures". It seems that, even the white, 5218-207A, long considered the black sheep of the family, has more followers
I had them...
As you can see here... The 205/A was probably considered as the black sheep, not so sure it was the case for the 203/A... ...
the 203A...
probably, was outstaged by the 202A and his glorious 4 lines. Having to choose a "black" one, the 202A would have been the obvious choice for me too.
