So I get a call from the HK Panerai boutique.

"Hi Gary, I have got some news", Ricky says.

"My 203 arrived?", I reply immediately.

There was a paused.

"Not really", Ricky says.

"Oh, my 309 then", I say.

Another pause.

"Er... No", Ricky says.

"Oh GREAT it must be the 292", I say joyously.

"Do you want the bloody 26K or not?" he says.

Well, how can I say "no" to that. So a quick cab ride to Prince's Building and the answer to Ricky's question was obvious.

Finally, I get to own a destro again, after making one of those regretful decisions to let my 115E go.

All dressed in black.

Decisions on new OEM strap - JV gold, JV black, Cashmere, Bordeaux or Riva

The entire length of the screws are PVD'd. Older screws just had the screw heads PVD'd.

A decision was made on the Bordeaux.

26K with recent impulse purchases: Two Montegrappa Genio Creativo limited edition pens - Modigliani (the artist) and Stradivari (violin maker). Can't wait for the Montegrappa Jackson Pollock paint brush

26K and friend.

Very happy with this little early Christmas present.
