..the 202A, the one that got away for me. By the time I got involved in Panerai, buying one of those, would have cost me a....kidney lollllllllllllll
Why i compromised on getting the pam000. Then this one started to grow on me thanks to all the pics that you guys have been posting the past few years on this reference. I slowly started to appreciate the 4 lines, non-matching dial, the pvd case.. fantastic really. I wouldn’t mind if they re-issued this one to be honest. Or maybe they shouldn’t as there’s a high chance that they might f*ck it up :-p
