Thank you for your kind words, dear Leopold!
That is also my feeling.
If you look for example at Chrono24 you will find a few well-preserved pieces. I have to admit, the prices are partly astronomical. That's why I stayed true to my principles again this time and again made a partial trade-in deal.

She is here!!
Got my 127 this afternoon "after a long time of severe suffering" (the watch was at customs four days before it was delivered to me, God knows why ...). This is now my third watch purchase after I swore in November last year (after buying my grail watch I...
One of the everygreens...the Fiddy.
Its appeal, unaltered through time. Nice acquisition. Now enjoy it...too much
Thank you, dear Sergio!
Yes, I have to confess, this watch has its own effect that can hardly be described. Almost magical ... How do you do in Italy now? Ciao Thomas
Also for me....
it was love at first sight, with the Fiddy. Saw it in a shop window, while waiting for the Macau Hydrofoil, went in put the credit card on the counter and told the owner: "I want THAT one". Lollllll I'm doing great in Italy. After 35 years lived overseas,...
Amore a prima vista...
That is a nice and very fitting wording. For me you are an institution here with a very deep knowledge of Panerai. So I consider it a kind of accolade that we share admiration and affection for the same reference. 😊 It is reassuring to read that you are w...
As if you were talking about your great love ...
I am convinced that this is the only way to buy a watch! At the moment when this special feeling is not there and you start to weigh up intellectually and try to hide small confounding factors from yourself, you should already keep your hands off. Actuall...
Thank you again!
Some here might disagree. I would say the 127 is one of the best modern Panerai creations. I have learned that the Fiddy is an almost identical replica of the modified 6152/1 with angelus 240 movement. For sure I personally have never seen another Luminor...
Ha!
Thanks a lot for your warm and kind words. What´s next? Hmmmhhh... To be on the safe side: no new fasting vows anymore. Hahahahahaha! I have to confess my journey is very emotionally driven. I will know it for sure at the moment when I see the watch. If h...
I think that's the right approach -- a piece that individually resonates with us when we see it, even better after trying it on the wrist (whenever possible)...Hard to go wrong this way!
For me, while I always hope to find a new watch, "courting" the right piece and sometimes even waiting for it also play a fascinating role... There are indeed many great options, and those you mention are obviously in this category. I don't remember if yo...
5146G
I have owned the Patek 5146G for more than 10 years. I sacrificed it for my Nr. 1 grail, my IWC MR. Among others also my Patek 5146G had to go. I simply didn’t feel the same as for the MR. And the 5146G had become a lukewarm safe queen during the last yea...
Congratulations to the incredible Fiddy. Happy that u finally received it 😊
Nothing more to add except maybe a little picture. Enjoy it a lot 👍🏼 ...

Thank you, dear Ahoi!
Yeaaaah! We have the same strap on the 127. I can´t believe my eyes! Although this is without special performance on my part it's like a knighthood for me. Hahahaha!
Wonderful.
It sits perfectly on your wrist. The decoration of the movement is wonderful. It is hard to find a Luminor that can beat this beauty. Enjoy!
Sapphire! Not plexi.
I just detected my mistake during examining my Fiddy closely for the first time. And after reading a very interesting article about the Fiddy at
Hahahahaha!
Nice story. On you can find the following explanation: „The modified Rolex 6152/1 that served as an example for the PAM 127 forms part of the Archivio Storico Panerai (Hystoric Panerai Archive) since the take-over of the Officine Panerai brand. The moder...
This is interesting.... which means the original had
Engravings on the back side of crown guard
LOL
I'm obviously lovable and flammable (or even promiscuous ??) in watches. As long as this is only limited to watches, it still goes through as "harmless". Hahahahaha.
One question in the round
According to the seller, the watch was serviced for the last time five years ago, but has been almost never worn. I've been watching her for about 24 hours now. She has lost 2 seconds and therefore keeps the time wonderful. Also according to the seller, t...
Très bien, monsieur!
That's exactly how I'm going to do it. Merci beaucoup, mon ami Thomas
Thank you dear Tony!
It is really a pleasure to wear this watch on my wrist. It wears so great. What about your considerations regarding 995? All the best my friend Thomas
