Ciao my fellow Paneristis!
Hope you all are having a great start to the week!
Well, here comes the answer that all of you have been waiting since i posted the mathematical question a few weeks ago!
The VISUAL answer to the question of what does a 309 + a 249 equals to is...
THIS!
Hereforth are my photos of how i picked the holy grail up! Enjoy Paneristis!
Ciao!
Stephen
The boutique couldnt have been more prettier than today!
The treasure chest!
1st glimpse of the grail anywhere!
A VERY happy owner!
Look at that patina! Too much patina maybe, but well this is a Panny!
Free champagne to celebrate the occasion!
1st wristshot!
What do you think?
Titanium buckle, although sadly this won't last for long...
Beautiful face, no?
New shoes, rightaway!
Ultra light, 26mm OEM titanium buckle for my baby
This confirms that the dial is NERO BLACK SCHWARZ!
My dearest Panerai super salesman Mr. Wachi pouring more champagne for me!
Just irresistible shots of the boutique on this beautiful day!
What does it equals to?!
The 309....
PLUS
The 249?
2nd bottle of champagne!
This time it's italian spumante!
More free pouring!
New strap, new buckle!
My 309
Timing test of the 349 on a witchi, not too bad ay?
The 2 Calis! 1936 and 2009 version
The 3 amigos!
The superb seven!
Look at this baby!
Congratulations Stephen!
Wordless to say, it looks more patina than the old 249. So your lucky no. is 7-up (Here they like 7 too as 7-Up, 8-Down....)
Wear in the best of health!
Nien
Really!?
I thought China always loved 8!
Yes, the patina is indeed more than that of the 249!
Loving loving this piece!
Cheers
Stephen

Stephen, is it a sandwich dial or
batons, Roman and Numeral markers are painted. Not so easy to determine on pics.
Thanks,
Patrickh
They are painted mon ami!
No sandwich on this one! Method same as on 249, except i seem to find that my 349 is even more patinated than on the 249!
But the lume is cool! As you can see!
Merci et a beintot!
Stephen
Thanks cap!
I think that i need to be congratulating you as well on Wednesday your time yah!?
