I grabbed a few from the collection.

My collection froze in time probably 10 years ago. Things started to move too fast and it got harder to keep up with so many models. Back in the day you had to waitlist for almost every model even the Base Pam 000 and that added some charm as 90%+ of the time you got your order with 1000-2000 made each year. You could always trade your watch going forward and retain retail price as a base.

Can you spot the models here?

„Timeless“ is an appropriate adjective!

Thanks for sharing. I too had a big itch for Panerai in the day, with 7. Now I am down to 3.

Trip down memory lane …

Your post reminded me of the crazy and fun Panerai days. I really enjoyed collecting them and the sheer enthusiasm generated by people you met and had one on their wrist. Happy days ! ...  

Great watches here…

Damn, Bill, these are awesome!
