A Pre Vendome Panerai Slytech threesome. The summit of my Panerai Collection.
I took this picture circa 2006. 
I was so proud of this threesome. Those three apart, I also had, at that time the Logo 5218-201/A, the Marina Militare Non Matching 5218-202/ A, the Luminor Marina 5218-203/A, and the Black Seal Slytech, one of the protos, 5218-218/A.

Best,
Nicolas
