Officine Panerai

My new grail and love:-)

 

Finally, I just couldn't resist the beauty and sexiness of the 217. The temptation was too much for me... 47mm in size, dome crystal, destro..... I just love it.....In the end, I succumbed..hahaha. In fact, I have always wanted to get a 217 to keep my 127 company...hehe. But either the price is not right or the condition of the watch is bad. I finally chanced upon one which is minty with full box set and certificates. Immediately, I jump on it before someone else get it...hahaha. 

So here it is..........Enjoysmile




Look at those golden hands...



The wonder twins...hehe



Bros in arms...hahaha



Finally, a close up shot..

Apologize for the poor pics quality as I took the photos with my iphonesmile.....Will take better pics when I have time.

Cheers

Congatulations mon ami. Sincerely, it's an amazing piece. I really love historic PAM, as 000 or 112, 232, 127... even 372 now! But the 217, waouahhhhhh! It's really a grail for me too. But i have to spend money many months to have one. And as i am waiting... 

Thanks, David:-)

 
By: Watchlover23 : December 8th, 2011-09:27
Same here, I love historic models too. I have collected a few myself. But it is a never ending love story with PAMs. You are always lusting for more...haha. Ended up....too little money but too many grail.... To make things worst, straps will be the next ... 

Strap idea?

 
By: Subco : December 8th, 2011-12:10
Of course you need one! Any idea? I hope you will share when the strap will be on the grail. Cheers.

Hahaha...I have already ordered a custom made strap:-)

 
By: Watchlover23 : December 9th, 2011-01:05
But will not be able to get it before Christmas:-( I should receive the strap by mid Jan.... Will definitely take some shots to share with everyone when I get the strap...haha Cheers

it's still one of the best!

 
By: swjoseph : December 9th, 2011-04:48
After all those breath taking new pieces from 2011, 217 is still one of the best along with 127 and 249. I missed mine so much. J

Agree totally swjoseph:-)

 
By: Watchlover23 : December 9th, 2011-04:59
That is why my next grail is a PAM249 which I am already on the lookout...haha. Hopefully, I can get my hands on one soon Cheerio
