Officine Panerai

I took few days off to attend a friends wedding in Bali and also took a short holiday there...

I was also expecting to receive a package that my girlfriend carried for me from Singapore..

One of my grail :



The fiddestro

Why 217 not 127?

I'm not a left-hander but I got used wear my watch on my right wrist...



Together with the Cali :





My dream came true!! To have this two 47mm grail in my collection



The new pamily picture

It's not over yet....

Got two gifts from my girlfriend





two very beautiful strap for my 104 and 292...

A weekend can't get any better than this

Hope you guys enjoy it too


Cheers,


Sam

127 / 217, it doesn't matter.

What matters is to get one of these, as you now have a superb pair of Historic watches from Panerai.

I envy you, my friend.

You're always the first!!!

This is really big for me... 3 big purchase (for me) in a year... the last time I got my watch was 3 years ago...

But, still a beginner... And still looking forward for a long journey in the Panerai addiction..

Best,


Sam

So take your time, enjoy, and think about what could be the next one which will perfectly compliment your already nice collection.

Well, my 2 cents.

Nicolas

I already have it in mind before I purchased the 217..

I really need to get cured from this Panerai virus...

Best,


Sam

you silly man, the cure consists in buying more....Panerais....

Cheers - Sergio

but it takes a while to get to the....other ones. For me it happened with the first...Trizio..

Cheer - Sergio

6152 4 lines, a TRUE Marina Militare, a 3646 " 3 / 6 / 9 / 12, a Small Egiziano 6154, and a Mare Nostrum Pam 300, because the Vintage was a proto only.

And, at this point, why not a GPF 2/ 56?



With that, you'll be seriously cured, and absolutely ... Homeless.

much as I would like to own one of these pieces, I don't have the motivation. I'm not.....married. I would buy one of these lovelies ONLY if I were married and my wife threatened me with...divorce.. Being an unrepenting single, without an unlimited bank account, I'll keep the....real estate, thanks...hahahaha

Ciao - Sergio

Would you let go 4 or 5 modern Panerai for a Vintage???

Would you be able to reduce it to the essential?

Headscratcher...

I thought a long time about it, and the answer, is YES , for me.

Best,

Nicolas.

on second thought....No. Arghhhh, which one to "sacrifice"? That's a more complicated question (for me) than the...To be or not too be....

I'll dwell on it, some.

Ciao - Sergio

Without any hesitation.

For a 6152 4 lines or a small Egiziano, and a nice 3646...

The Epitome of Panerai.

They can't be beaten.

Well, in my book.



Best,

Nicolas

for the time being. Once I like....really like...a model, it's pretty hard for me to consider letting it go. Besides, for the models you have in mind, the "flippers" want a lot more of the fatidical....pound of flesh....

Ciao - Sergio

I see your very valuable logic, indeed.

It is always a pain to let go a cherished piece.

That is what we call a " Sacrifice ", even if it is a bit exagerated word.



Best,

Nicolas

Mech.

hahaha, btw, can post some pix of 6152? to keep my pamfire alive?

Mech.

This is really really good.... bad for me...


Sam

it's a bit like Michael Corleone in Godfather III...they're pulling me back in...

Ciao - Sergio

In all seriousness, you more or less have my dream collection. I would love to add a 217/127 one day, as well as a 249 and 292.

Congrats again,
Rahul

Hope you get yours soon!

Best,

Sam

... and with the Cali and some of the other pieces in the collection that is an impressive line-up!

Enjoy it.

I know you've chased after the 217 for a while, now. Congratulations on your persistence and I'm sure you'll love it..

Now you've got to get youself a nice....Fiddy. After all, you don't want to make your 217 feel like an...orphan, do you??? hahahaha

Cheers - Sergio

Along with the 249, it is my ultimate modern Panerai (that was still in my range)

Now about the fiddy, I'm not sure if I want to get it... I got no love on the fiddy.. I'm not so sure why, maybe it's the "1950" wording", it disturbs me... 

But it's just my thought...

Best,


Sam

sorry Sam, I thought everybody loved the Fiddy. Good thing about Panerai, they made and make a number of different, handsome (IMO) watches that keep bringing people back, as you have already found out...  

Cheers - Sergio

217 is my fiddy err... diddy... (destro fiddy)

Cheers,

Sam
