Thanks Bill
Panerai released the 319 in 2009 and I picked up mine in 2016. So it was a seven year dating period. I don't know why it took me so long as it was always near the very top of my hit list. I guess other things took priority and the timing wasn't right. So glad I finally picked one up. Side note - the Rattrapante has always had a special place in my heart as it was the very first complication I ever bought. I was 26 years old and the very nice gentlemen in the Caribbean told me he'd give me an extra 15% off if I bought my Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece Rattrapante that day. How could I say no? That was the piece that started the madness....
Best,

My Favorite Watch Journey
Buying a luxury watch, or any luxury good, is an emotional experience and journey. Here is my favorite scenario: you see a watch for the first time and you immediately fall in love with it. The timing is not right for a purchase so it goes on your “want t...
Yes, I feel the same about a few APs I own.
So, I know the feeling. Your Pam is quite nice and gleams richness all over! Thanks for sharing!
Yes, I'd love to say the same about my APs
but my wife stole both of them. Dammit, they look better on her than they did on me. But that's another thread..... Best, NickO
That’s why
the secret is not to show watches to wives. Wear under cuff and let them stick to purses and shoes.
Thanks Bill

Now that is a true love affair with a wonderful ending.
Very special. We all know the lust we have. And now two years on and still the same joy. Thanks for sharing it.
Speaking of another Panerai rattrapante - the 147 from 2002.
A 2002 Special Edition of only 35. I love this extraordinary watch with a re-worked vintage Venus 185 calibre. ...
Thanks for sharing!
I haven't seen a PAM 147 for a long time (not surprising given there are only 35 of them). What a beautiful piece and that stunning Venus calibre! NickO
Yeah.
I thought about selling it, but the prices are a little softer than I wanted - so I kept it and fell in love with it a second time. Amazing watch, as is yours.
So long as it..floats your boat....
buy it and enjoy the heck out of it, I say. After all, as Oscar Wilde aptly wrote: I can resist everything except temptations. Ciao
