The Panerai Source Forums

I cant believe the sheer amount of watches I bought today!!! In the Panerai arena alone I got four models, I just could not resist what with the very limited avilability and the impeding price hike I had to make my move now or never. It was now!!! The mother of all capers!!!

Pics soon my friends, a base and a contemporary model are infront of me as I type, another base to arrive tommorow and a 1950 soon. Woo I am doing the mother of all pee pee dances right now


Now for strap-buying. What size do i need to get for a 45MM Rad again? Good thing I can interchange straps between these two 44MM Luminors!!!

WOOO!! GOO ALTAIR!!! You are a watch buying MACHINE!

The 45mm Rad uses a 26mm wide strap.

Way to go! But don't keep us waiting too long for those photos!!!!

Slow conection, gotta do this in stages

Wish i had my flash, some of these pics are dark.


First up is the awesome PAM 111. No wonder this watch has such a legendary place in the world of watches!!! The sandwich dial is GREAT!!!









And here we have the PAM 88,



And last but not least, the amazing 210. can anybody say CLASSY???!!!!










Gotta love those exhibition backs



I gotta tell you guys, I never was big on manual wind watches. In fact I never owned one before. Now that I discovered the joy of a manual wind I can say my prioraties have changed. In fact my next PAM housed in a 1950 case should arrive soon enough. Perhaps in.....8 days????!!!!

Wooo!! nice watches Altair! Beautiful collection, can't wait to see your next one.

Thanks admin, I cant wait to see my next PAM too

Gorgeous pieces! God, 4 PAMs at once. I'd be delirious. You are 1 lucky guy.

I had a dream like this once. WOW.

Congrats

What a nice collection! Have the 1950 arrived yet?

I was just going to ask the same question

I don't think they have - you'll notice this thread started a while back, and since, Altair has been through some personal/financial problems - I'm sure he'll let us know what's going on when he's ready. I seem to remember he wasn't too impressed by the 1950 that he was offered though.

Hi guys,

Yep Sporty is right. After some personal issues where I sold a number of watches and had to turn down the PAM270, I had to slowly start rebuilding my collection. When I finally got another chance to get the 270, I was uninterested as I fell in love with the 233. The dial to me was just so balanced. The 9 AND seconds dial on the 270 ruin it for me.

Just did a deal with a fellow on another forum for his K series PAM 233, and can hardly wait

Good for you - and VERY glad to see you back
