Officine Panerai

hard choice once you do not include special editions

 

I started to make a short list, choosing only those with which I am familiar, rather than selecting those I may have seen once or twice but probably never had on my wrist.  I find that it is hard to tell, in advance, whether a watch will become a favorite but after wearing it several times it becomes rather evident.  My initial list, in numeric order, included a 27 (power reserve), 29 (tuxedo dial w/ power reserve), 63 (gmt w/ sweep), 87 (1000m sub w/ blue dial), 190 (8 day jlc), and 213 (1950 split chrono).   All of which I find special but if I had to pick one ------- the 29.  Unique dial w/ power reserve in the center.   If I had to put in order it would be 29, 63, 213, 27, 190,  and 87.   I didn't realize until after the list was together there was only one sub and one radiomir and I placed them in the last two ranking positions.

If you could choose ANY Panerai made in 1997 or later, which one would you choose?

So this excludes any Pre-V and vintage Panerai's And to make things even more interesting, you MUST choose a NON-LIMITED edition piece . Muhahaha So which regular edition Panerai produced in 1997 or later would you want Santa to bring you for Christmas if... 

It would no doubt be this!

Although this would be a close second: Gotta admit I've been a good boy so Santa dropped them off a while back! While I'm at it, here my third pick! I do miss this one though... This message has been edited by Jester on 2007-12-15 20:28:18...  

Dear Santa Anthony >>>

Since I have seen it in action at the Panerai event in Firenze, I have been dreaming about it. One day...... Asi...  

You think the Panerai Tourbillon would look better in a Radiomir case?

strategy or am i just an ignorant cynic. actually i love the look of them and would at some stage love to own one, but it would have to be the 2002 calibre radiomir or something equally unusual. if they did a PVD daylight i would have bought that instead ...
