The start of a new journey?
Okay this came out only about one day after my farewell post to my 104...
Actually I already purchased this watch before I sold my 104... And I just received it today....
I've got many sleepless night this past week because of the excitement of getting this piece....
So finally......
Can anybody guess???
Well on my farewell post I said I that I was getting something similar but has a closer link to the history...
Here it is... My latest....
Why something similar to the 104?
Well it's simply that I really like dial layout of Luminor Marina with the second hand, IMO it fits the personality of the watch perfectly...
As I've mentioned before... I have been craving for a tritium dial Panerai...
And I found this one with a fat and creamy colored indexes... I really think that the dial is just stunning....
I can't stop starring at it..... Just beautiful...
And the best thing is that now I have a 44mm Luminor again... I think the design and the size of the case is just perfect for my wrist...
So here's the wristshot...
Can this be a start of my new journey? I really hope it is...
Best regards,
Sam

I wanted to make another post about it but since you brought it up Nicolas...
This is technically not a PreA series... In fact it is an A series with a PreA dial... I was actually looking to get a 1A but I found this... To those who are not familiar with, there are actually some ways to differentiate a PreA series with a normal A s...
Panerai Slytech 2 things, Sam.
Or maybe 3? 1/ apologizes, as I didn't know that you wanted to do a separate post on the Pre A.. I feel really sorry. 2/ Thanks a lot for such a quality answer. It was a pleasure to read it and brought me back to the " Good Old Time ". 3/ I would rather c...
LOL!! No need to apologize Nicolas... 5 things Nicolas...
Since you brought it up, there's nothing wrong to talk about it here.... 1. I actually had a lot of fun learning about preA and preVendome panerai and talking to some experts regarding their opinion and their thoughts on these kind of watches.. 2. About t...
Well, I feel better, now that I am not alone to be a dumb in mathematics! :))
I totally agree with your point 3. I guess that it is what makes all the value of some watches like Panerai or Rolex, in the Vintage world. But it is true that it makes a BIG difference when you look at the whole watch. I also understand your " reserves "...
About the Slytech series...
Don't get it wrong... I have a lot of respect to the person and the Slytech series.... It's just that it's not something I prefer... Best, Sam
that one Sir is NICE :0))
Congratulations. your Taste is Ruined Now. Sorry to tell you that. cause once you go Vintage ? you just can't go Back. LOL non the less. it's an Awesome Piece. which is a Good News ;0)))) wear it Well and enjoy the heck out of Sam.
Thank you Tony!
That's what my friend told me... Once you tried the T dial Panerai, other newer Vendome model won't be as interesting.... Anyway.... Thanks again!! Sam
That's a truly awesome piece Sam!
Looks like you're bitten by the fat tritium bug like many of us do!!! hahaha Welcome to the steep downhill ahead! Enjoy and post more pix soon! I'd be waiting to see more from you! Mech.
Was bitten by your thread a while ago about "Who hates being fat..."
Thank you Mech! Best, Sam
Yeap....
you're screwed....Once you go T you're done in for...hahahaha Enjoy it... Cheers - Sergio
I guess I'm really screwed... Everybody's telling me that there's no way back...
Once I go T dial... For now I hope I can just slow down and enjoy this beautiful dial without thinking about any more new purchase... Thank you Sirjo! Sam
Tell you what....
I have 20 Panerais but if you were to take pictures of my wrist, of late, you'd photograph a 22B, 26B, 1A or a 201A LOGO... Tritium does you in, trust me....hahahaha Ciao - Sergio
Okay... 26B and 201A logo is high on my list....
But I'd also photograph your 341 and soon to be your 339 But yes.... T-Dial is beautiful.... Best, Sam
Big congrats on that beauty Sam!
Love the fat numbers! Your collection is just getting better and better. Enjoy the T-Swiss-T!
Congratulations !!!
Hi Samrotandi, As long as the watch sings to you, and you have done your due diligence in researching with satisfaction, enjoy wearing it..and it will put more smiles in your heart...))) Buy what you like, and not others' liking or following,,, Cheers,
Congrats again Sam....

Thanks again lex!!
FPE will stay strong as long as there's you n alim.. I'm sure there's still a bunch of guys there Thanks Sam
to be honest i did'nt really know what you bought..
so I did some research last night on pre A Panerai.... all I can say is ..OMG now I know what you bought.. any wow wow wow,,, thats a rare beast I feel like it is a Rolex 6538 or something like that, a piece of OP history... my heartiest congrats to you, ...
Thank you Imran!
It is fascinating to learn about preA and preVendome Panerai... pure beauty... nothing more... nothing less... IMO its nothing compared to Rolex 6538... Rolex 6538 is in a class of it's own... Thank you for your sincere congratulation.... Best, Sam p.s. b...
