Officine Panerai

Old dreams can come true! Cheers Peter

...but I understand what you're saying. I'm glad you finally can enjoy your "dream". Keep enjoying it too much!!!!

Very much - definitely a special level of satisfaction. Cheers Peter

I'm a bit of a sucker for a display back, so when the 112's came out I was also pulled in. What an era of modern Panerai! Thanks for sharing!! Peter

Or not enough? Cheers Peter

Surprisingly handsome but my wife is already scoping it out for her wrist! Have a great weekend, Peter

Of those pieces that kept me with Panerai those days. Anyway I am now at three Panerai - maybe there is a possibility of future expansion? Keen on getting a submersible at some point. Cheers Peter
