Is Panerai on top of your personal pantheon? Best, Emmanuel
I also had the "black" grandfather of this one (the 26B). Nice one. Enjoy it too much
I realized there is certainly a visceral reaction I get from Panerais that I don’t get with any other brand. And I’m sure most others would say Patek or some independent du jour, but if I’m being honest then it would be a toss up between Panerai and AP, which I also regard as an experience.
The 26B is one such earlier piece I would have had a chance to try.
and still produce watches with a very strong personality and appeal. So, even if I’m mostly into a different kind of watches, I fully understand your feeling. Thanks for you response! Best, Emmanuel
for this reference to have the winding stem at 9 or is this specifically a left handed version?
