Wow, my friend, WOW! Huge congratulations. I totally feel the pain of letting the 201 NM go, but as you said, some sacrifices are worth being made.
The 4 lines MM is one of the watches I regret having sold. I had a wonderful one and I will probably never forget it.
Sad to say goodbye...
I traded my wonderful 5218-201/A Non-matching complete with box and papers. A sad day indeed. That, plus 3 other watches that I rarely wear brought me this: A hint... As Sergio might say "Mama Mia" In the case of the 5218-202/As, the matching dials are th...
If I may....
vintage Panerais are..only...the ones produced for the Italian Navy, before 1993. The 5812-202A belongs to the Pre-V era, which marks the beginning of the commercial "adventure" of Panerai. The Pre-V period (Pre sale of the watch division to the Vendome g...
And watches ...
produced on specific request by the German forces during the occupation of Italy.
Thank you!! A wonderful watch with a perfect backdrop!
Not to be a pest, but any info on that strap? -John
Only this...
It was thrown in as the watch was on its original Kodiak strap and I promptly took that one off. Not familiar with the maker but it is a very nice strap! Kent I see he has a website as David Lane Design. ...
Great move!
I'll never understand the appeal of "non matching". MM dial is amazing... very well done!
I think, at least for me...
The appeal is more the artifact and the interesting story rather than the esthetic. I'll admit the matching seems more harmonious. Kent
What a fantastic beauty,
with Panerai always remains the same question,” do your heart will want another one sooner or later”?
What a beauty Kent — congrats!
The color combination of the case, dial, hands, and numerals is incredible.
Nice catch.....
apart from the Mamma Mia appeal, which makes the 202A THE Pre-V model to die for, also the dial conditions are superlative, The prestine, FAT matching indices are simply..spectacular. On the flip side of the coin, the dial of the 201A NM is a bit "worse f...
Thank you Sergio.
I hope you are well. I couldn’t tell if it was you first or Nico, either way it seems appropriate. This one is really nice and a pleasure to be the custodian. You’re right, the 201A was nice but this one is nicer. I have no choice but to enjoy it TOO MUCH...
Monochrome capture...
Seems to concentrate the eye. Unfortunately, also on the dust! ...
