The only one which was not mine was the 6152-1, the vintage, the rest was mine... And some of my Vendome watches ere not included... Enjoy, Nicolas ...  

Wow! I didn’t see that coming!

Hehehehe... ;)

 
By: amanico : January 25th, 2021-14:40

I am speechless! Feels like heaven on hearth!

 
By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : January 25th, 2021-14:40

Those were the good old times...

 
By: amanico : January 25th, 2021-14:42

this picture is not helping with my recent addiction to Panerai!

 
By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : January 25th, 2021-15:04

Hehehe... I would well see three or four modern Panerai in my collection, as well.

 
By: amanico : January 25th, 2021-21:42

Looking at your picture confirmed two things for me...

 
By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : January 26th, 2021-03:51
1- am so glad I got the 372; 2- I am still drawn by the 422 dial with small second...

Ah you see? The 372 is a great modern Panerai, definitely.

 
By: amanico : January 26th, 2021-04:05

The good old days !

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 25th, 2021-15:02

That's it.

 
By: amanico : January 25th, 2021-22:11

That is quite the collection- do you miss any of them or was Panerai just something you moved on from?

 
By: bonovox : January 25th, 2021-15:18

I miss two of them...

One amazing thing I respect about Panerai owners is how they can tell the difference of the models, lol.....

 
By: Clueless_Collector : January 25th, 2021-15:25

Good one! Same for Rolex, by the way. ;)

 
By: amanico : January 25th, 2021-22:17

Wow Nico! Do you still have any of them or have you moved them all on?

 
By: BeckyJax1 : January 25th, 2021-16:06

No, alas. But I would love to get three or four modern ones.

 
By: amanico : January 25th, 2021-22:17

I would venture to say that between you and Sergio, you had everything covered

 
By: aperna : January 25th, 2021-16:08

Sergio still has them, which makes a huge difference. ;p

 
By: amanico : January 25th, 2021-22:18

What did exactly happen between you and Panerai that you decided to sell them all "at once"? I recently read about their Wehrmacht watches and

 
By: Reuven Malter : January 25th, 2021-16:22
thought Panerai is extremely interesting!

Well, let's say that I had several issues. Disappointment with some " strategies " ( OOR / way to choose those who would have some LEs / Service issues ). Now I would love to build a small collection of three or four watches.

No message body

ok, thanks!

 
By: Reuven Malter : January 26th, 2021-05:02

Which modern references are you considering Nicolas?

 
By: Flanker : January 26th, 2021-09:52

PAM 372 / 587 / 662 / 249 / 373 or 997.

 
By: amanico : January 26th, 2021-10:33

You never had the 249? Or just not in the pic. I think I have a 249 in my hd taken by you. 249 is nice!

 
By: Echi : January 27th, 2021-18:43

I had it, but it is part of the watches which were stolen to me.

 
By: amanico : January 28th, 2021-00:39

The only one you don’t mind buying back?

 
By: Echi : January 28th, 2021-02:46

Well given the current prices, it would be the easiest to buy back. My Logo Pre Vendome and Mare Ptre Vendome have gone, too.

 
By: amanico : January 28th, 2021-07:40

Ah yes. 249 one of those pieces that owners tend to hold on to :-) (nt)

 
By: Echi : January 28th, 2021-20:44
..

Yes, my friend, you are right. And it is logical, it is such a lovely one.

 
By: amanico : January 28th, 2021-22:31

Nicolas was the OG of collecting Panerai before it was cool.

 
By: Bill : January 25th, 2021-16:37

There were much more impressive collections than mine. I could never put my hands on one or two vintage, for example. I met some guys who had at least 6 vintage Panerais.

 
By: amanico : January 25th, 2021-22:30
But it is true that I scored all the Pre Vendome... Best, Bill. Nicolas

France had a strong Panerai game back in the day.

 
By: Jay (Eire) : January 25th, 2021-17:36
There are some watches when one looks back and you think, “what was I thinking?”. I have never had that feeling about Panerai.

I never had this feeling, either. Good point, my friend.

 
By: amanico : January 25th, 2021-22:30

The 'what was I thinking' can also work at the exit

 
By: VinnieD : January 26th, 2021-00:04
How many watches do you regret selling? Many in my case

Well, not that many. Let's say around ten / fifteen?

 
By: amanico : January 26th, 2021-03:00

but you seem to sell rarely!

 
By: VinnieD : January 26th, 2021-03:05
I always chop down my collection

One or two watches per year, generally.

 
By: amanico : January 26th, 2021-03:06

That’s a fair point too. I wish I’d held onto some more Panerai also, not too many but a few.

 
By: Jay (Eire) : January 26th, 2021-06:08
And I did not have any of the good older stuff.

Very cool picture

 
By: penfriend : January 26th, 2021-00:34
I am not knowledgeable at all with these but i like and prefer the white dial tbh

This one was very cool, indeed.

 
By: amanico : January 26th, 2021-03:01
...  

OMG

 
By: penfriend : January 26th, 2021-04:51
mouth-watering and I really like the sharp numerals on the white dial

That was one I liked a lot. Perfect for summer .

 
By: amanico : January 26th, 2021-05:06

A jaw-dropping collection.

 
By: Uncle Chico : January 26th, 2021-01:06
The only reason I haven't succumbed to Panerai is I'm still trying to determine when and for what occasion I would wear one. They fit every other criteria I have for ownership.

That's a good question. Summer holidays, at the seaside?

 
By: amanico : January 26th, 2021-03:02

You've done it again. I'm hoping to get to Sardegna this year.

 
By: Uncle Chico : January 26th, 2021-03:22

So, this is THE opportunity.

 
By: amanico : January 26th, 2021-03:23

Good point.

 
By: kkochheiser : January 26th, 2021-08:35
I find myself wearing them much less in the winter weather due to sweater cuffs, etc. I can't wait for summer or at least to get back to Arizona! Kent

Me too, my friend.

 
By: amanico : January 26th, 2021-14:24

😵😵

 
By: Mary Anny : January 26th, 2021-01:48

;)

 
By: amanico : January 26th, 2021-03:02

If I think that you....

 
By: sergio : January 26th, 2021-06:38
didn't keep even a single one of them, I feel pure disbelief lollllllllllll

Well, actually, two of there were stolen to me... Is this a good defense, Your Honor? ;)

 
By: amanico : January 26th, 2021-07:58

And I bet they were....

 
By: sergio : January 26th, 2021-17:10
exactely the ones you would have....kept :P Nice try, but no cigar lolllllllll

Alas, yes, but I would also add the Pre V Marina Militare, too.

 
By: amanico : January 27th, 2021-00:57

..

 
By: Nono01 : January 26th, 2021-23:38
That is really impressive. Too bad Paneristi community is not what it used to be. Those are some really good looking watches.

I can only agree, alas.

 
By: amanico : January 27th, 2021-00:57

Beautiful photo of some beautiful Panerais!

 
By: Art Collector : January 27th, 2021-14:25
Fantastic tool watches with Italian design and the Decima Flottiglia Motoscafi Armati Siluranti heritage! Saluti!

Grazie, amico.

 
By: amanico : January 27th, 2021-14:30

Ah ! These " old " Panerai, they all have an extra soul ! What a great collection ... ( de quoi être nostalgique ... )

 
By: leopold : January 28th, 2021-11:51

A bit of nostalgia, indeed. For the good old years and some of these watches, for sure.
