Me same boat as you
New tangled materials have to be "better" then the usual SS, YG, RG or Plat etc....
Someone told me recently there was a case of a IWC top gun ceramic case breaking into halves after a nasty contact with a piece of furniture...speechless
Best,

A gathering....courtesy of OP and a PamPurist
There are watch collectors gatherings, and there are panarei owners gatherings. you might ask, what is the difference? I cant put my fingers on why, perhaps its more boisterous, more casual, less stuffy, more self deprecating.....the list goes on, I just ...
Very nice table shot and appearance of vintage PAMs
Does the owner of the PAM341 Egyptian wear it outside in public? Cheers, Anthony
I can vouch that
the owner of the 341 wears it not only in public, but also at times on the ankles of his dinner dates - best, Horo
Wow,
that's a table shot, I don't know how many oof you were around but very nice, the 2 vintage are unbelievable, especially the one with the lighter dial, amazing unique patina, pure desert cream, yummy!!! thanks for sharing, Matt
There were about 20 people.
Took about half the pub. There were a few more not captured. Best, Horo
Fantastic time.
Started around 7pm till 1am. And the range from vintage till date. Several members of this august forum may emerge and identify themselves. Best, Horo
That's a crazy pyramid of watches.
It would be nice to see those in metal. Then again I sure is by invitation only Regards Tyler...
The same guy who spotted Superman uttered these....
It's a Group, NO, it's a cult, NO....it's a Paneristis gathering!!! Btw, it's not the same gig u r thinking of. Best, Horo
Another one?! How many cult are you into these day? :-)

"Horology is my God, the AD is my Temple"
So exclaimed the unknown 21st century Chinese philosopher once. Or was it "Money is my God, Bank is my Church" I get confused....too many cults, too little time Best, Horo
You do realize the moral hazards of using words like "liquid essence"? ?

Pannies galore!
Would love to join in one day! Glad to hear a good time held by all! Ciao Stephen
I might have, need to search thru my photos
Will post if I find any tonight when I get back Best, Horo
Thank you in advance. This is my Number one all time favourite Panerai.
That means a lot! Best, Nicolas.
You are most welcomed George
Glad you like the pics Best, Horo This message has been edited by Hororgasm on 2011-07-21 00:43:48
Yes it is....
And more to come. Planning for one that will feature 50-100 pams, maybe even more, if everyone comes doublewristed. Best, Horo
a photo of 50-100 top notch PAMs will make my head explode:)
looking forward to those pics! J
There is no such thing as "top notch pams" mate
They are PAMs that's it. But George Orwell writing in Animal Farm once did opined that all animals are equal, though some are more equal then others. I guess that can be said for watches too. But it's not an opinion that I subscribe to, though in reality ...
reminds me of a quote from my university days....
""Every actual democracy rests on the principle that not only are equals equal but unequals will not be treated equally." Not that I subscribe to it, though....
Glad you like it mate.
I have been swinging back to more pams again, but knowing myself, will prob be back to gentlemen sized watches or indies again. Best, Horo
You are most welcome Mate, it was good to see you
We did have a good time + last week dinner. Hope to see you soon. Regards John
Yes, will organize something low-key?
Will revert with the planning soon. And the pleasure was all mine to meet all the serious Pam lovers. Best, Horo
Damn...
Tats the one I missed .......... Looks like u guys had a GREAT Time Am not gonna miss the next one !!! Thanks for sharing the photos.
You will get something in the mail shortly then
And that is not the only one you missed mate. Will see you soon. Cheers, Horo
When there is a will, there is a way.
Understandably work comes first, how else can we afford this hobby. Best, Horo
PanePurist :0))))))
I LIKE THAT.! maybe one day IF Panerai decided to do a L.E for PuristSpro ? The Watch should haveThe Wording: PanePurist on the Back . agree with you..there're Loyal Followers of many Brands, but i'ts kinda Different with Panerai !!. i've met some Great F...
It's not IF but WHEN PAM do a remake
What have they not done or remake? A question of time. I am no PAM expert, but I am a betting man. I am also not certain of the longevity in this trend for watch brands to raid their history and archives to create modern remakes or interpretations. Any op...
agree +1
ohh..btw...did you guys pick the pieces instead of picking the people, it's just an awesome variety of Pannie for a GTG of this size. it covers the whole history of Panerai with namely all kinds of movements and cases. can any one name anything that is si...
you are right mate, but they will be in 20-30 years time!!
I am not a fan of these new fangled materials anyway. Best, Horo
:0)))) . 30 Years Time ?!
wonder if i'll be around. :0))) not a Fan either.. i'm an Old Fashion kinda Guy. i like Steel. and would be NICE to have a Gold one someday :0) Cheers
As far as material science goes....
Creating a material for the sake of creating a material is just pure BS. Should the new material provide solid improvements, higher vickers etc etc, I can appreciate, even if I do not subscribe to the view, or for that matter, I might. But is the new mate...
i Totally Agree
if it's Not a Better Material ? why Bother and Buy it. i'm too Poor to Risk my Money in something that hasn't stood the Test of Time. "yet" :0))
Me same boat as you
