That will be great!! Now I cross my fingers for you Nicolas!!
Panerai PAM 217 Marina Militare, a cool photo found on the net.
Don't know who to credit for, but I will happily do it on request. Another oneI owned and regret... Best, Nicolas ...
The 217 it's still a small mystery.....
in my mind. I've looked for it, I've bought it and I've never.....liked it. It has been the first 47mm I've re-sold and I've never looked back on, nor regretted the decision. I didn't sell it "for the money", I did it because I didn't like it nor used it....

When I was a young.....
19 y.o. man, in Italy there still was the National Conscription. I served in the Marina Militare for 2 (compulsory) years. Every other Corp served for only 1 year, but the Marina was considered a specialized one and the basic training was much longer. I o...
There was one of our members from Indonesia.....
..I can't remember the name though (it's a miracle I still remember...mine). He had a spectacular 202A and after a while, put it up for sale for US80K. I considered it for a fleeting moment, then I decided to keep the....kidney instead Lolllllllllllllll
Oh! ThatĀ“s interesting story to know dear friend Sergio. National Conscription was the same here. Two Years Navy or one year Army or Air Force. Conscription was ruled out in year 1994...
... after the death (assassination) of a conscript scandal. Of course I well remember the Telex system which I personally used in the 1970Ā“s till the arrival of Fax. That was of course previous of E Mail! Lol. I remember operating myself the big and heavy...
