Officine Panerai

A great gesture.

There are moments in life where you're really touched by some great gestures.

Yesterday night was a total surprise for me as I lived one of these moments.

When going back home, I noticed the presence of a big and unusual package.

I opened it with a certain surprise and with a lot of fever...

It is a superb calendar with pics by Martin Wilmsen and creations by Eng T.

Here are some quick pics I took.

First of all, my Pre V Logo on a superb background

The cover, representing all the watches " of the month ", all mythic Vintage and Pre Vs:

2 extracts, not really randomly chosen...

I don't know who to thank for such a very nice gesture, but one thing is sure:

You made me do a journey in the Past, some 5 years or 6 years ago, and you made me remember and live very nice " souvenirs ", my anonymous friend(s).

I had no doubts that this Community is great, it is just another evidence of its strength and kindness.

Thank you so much!

Very Best,

Nicolas

And good choices Nicholas, my favorite is the photo of the 6154 as well. It matches the background supremely.

I'm really amazed by our Community, Patrick

The gentleman who decided to put these watches in the selection has really nice taste. As for the 6154, this is by far my absoulte favourite Vintage, with the MM 4 lines 6152. The pics are ALL awesome. Best, Nicolas

Wow, awesome my friend!

People have to fight for that, but you get it for free! Cheers Stephen

I had so many fights, Stephen, that not having one, for once, is a pleasure! :)))

Angel Gabriel and Vlad Dracul.... There is nothing true, my friend, without its contrary... As for my Ex 202A, this is not mine which features on this calendar. I'm 100% sure. I don't know if I deserved it, but it is a damn cool gift! Best, and thanks for...
