This Omega is beautiful and the Pam is a good choice.

Congrats.

Appreciate very much you taking your time to post your collection!

I love that golden ellipse, a beauty with the blue gold dial!

If so, it's actually quite rare that for people who are attracted to Panerai to dig head into Radiomir first.  Of most of the panerai collectors that I had the pleasure of speaking to, they almost all started becoming attracted to Luminor line w/ that crown bridge and wasn't until much later they started warming up to the idea of a radiomir.   So tell us, how do you defy the appeal of that crown bridge and end up w/ those wire loops? 

Don't get me wrong, I'm a big lover of Radiomir myself. 

Hi, it is my first Panerai.  I initially felt a Panerai when I saw my friends luminor a few years back.  I loved the dial but the watch itself felt a little clunky for my wrists. A little while later I was introduced to the Radiomir and I fell in love with its cushion case (had seen an old rolex with a similar case and had craved that design ever since.) The wire lugs just added to the retro appeal.

I for one started loving OP for it's Radiomir line, and till today still own only Rad's, have yet to get my 1st Luminor because i only go for 47mm and there isn'T any 47 lume left for me to purchase yet!

So yes, i defied the crown bridge!!

I do remember reading about you getting the 309 at the Tokyo Boutique opening but didn't think that was your first Panerai based on your knowledge on Panerai reflected from your posts.    Good to know yet another Radiomir lover.  

While I have to admit the crown protector was the feature that drew me to Panerai almost 10 years ago, I definitely fell for Radiomir and the wire loop early on.  The only problem is that I was so dumb NOT to spend 30k on a PAM21 back then.   :-(

That was my 3rd! I have the 249 and the 232 as well.

All 47mm Raddys!

Wow, you own the 21!! Not dumb at all my friend! I wish to own one right now but know that it's totally impossible!

I just wish now if i can have the honour to even see one in the metal at all!

Cheers

that I did NOT buy a 21 for 30k back then...  Well, I ended up buying a 5070G for slightly less but obviously the 21 did MUCH better since...

Yes i read it again, and yes haha if i may say well, but it's all a missed opportunity that we all have in life.

But your 5070 was also a stupendous choice!

Cheers
