Nicolas, my friend it's been way too long....
I am in complete agreement on the 127/249.... and feel very lucky to have them.
You still have what I covet though my friend.... 249/1936 to go w/ my 127/1950!!
I'm just glad it is in such wonderful and caring hands!!
Love your passion Nicolas and hope to contribute more and stay in touch!
Best Always,
Bob (ReTTo)
Simple is beautiful
It seems that simplicity is the hardest thing to get, nowadays... When you look at the Cali, the Pre V Logo or all the " Bases ", to make it short, their beautiful simplicity strikes you. Nothing else than the essential, and the Purity of a timeless desig...
I like it simple, too
This is one of the 2-3 Panerai I have thought of to start with...some day. LOL. Thanks for the inspiration. respo
Yes, Respo
The only problem is that this Cali is way too high in price, now... But any base is to consider, indeed! Best, Nicolas
Well i know this has a seconds hand...
But my 309 is definitely the BEST for me right now! I consider it my base for now, until the 341 arrives... A bientot! Stephen...
Couldn't agree more with you, Nico
The simpler, the better! Thank you for reminding us that beauty is in the simple details. Best regards, Alex...
I love this Mexican sandwhich! AIE AIE AIE!!!
Caramba, that is why I got to go to the Dentist! Best, Hermano. Nicolas
And you know what goes well with a sandwich
Or any meal for that matter? TEQUILA! Salud, hermano! Alejandro...
Que va, Hombre!
Por Cierto! I didn't finish your bottle, my friend, but by far the best Tequila I ever drunk! Best, my friend. Nicolas
Yep, base is nice .....& beautiful..
the simpler the better.... They ought to have made the Cali's with a solid back like the 232, the 232's with plexi, like Cali....
Agree, Rad Yo...
A solid case back would have given to the Cali a bit more thickness, like on the original... Can we see the other part of your Rad, Yo? Best, Nicolas
It's really a UFO Nicolas......
Can you imagine them coming into land with all that Radium glowing.... LOL ....
They did allow me to see more......
the propulsion unit, Then the all important timing device, I spotted some strange Hyroglifics, they came from a time many years ago, J...
Well, Rad, that's too cruel...
Give me their phone number, I will immediately call them to stop this cruel teasing! Best, Nicolas
It's TStorm's fault..teaser
If he shows me his, I will show him mine. What am I saying !!!!!
Yes it's beautiful...
Your pics are great, the Cali is great but I find the strap a bit too light for it. Fr.Xavier
Too light, FX?
Man, this strap contrasts so much with the Cali that it enhances its Beauty! Best, my friend. Happy to know you back home! Nicolas
Absolutely, I agree.
I like that stitchless strap of your very much Nicolas.Very young and fashionable - perfect for summer! Cheers Fernando...
What a pic, Fernando!
Really gorgeous! And when we know how difficult it is to take a pic of the Cali... Thanks for the nice words, my friend. Nicolas
Very nice Base pics, Nacho!
Wow, the last one, sunk in the coffee, is awesome, indeed! Thanks for the share. Best, Nicolas
Please, Nicolas where do you buy the red strap?? Nacho please, where do you buy this crazy
Crocodile strap?? Thanks. The mine:...
Wow, you guys are really the best
So many nice pictured & so many nice watches. Yes, simple lines is still the best thing that a watch ever need:...
Pam 56, Fred?
Nice Titanium Destro, by the way... Even if not a ase, it is really powerful! Best, Nicolas
Hey, Retto!
Long time no speak, my friend. Happy to see here, with such a great Duo. The 127 / 249 is certainly the greatest and the nicest Modern Panerai Duo, IMO. Best! Nicolas

TRUE, Retto!
You're the lucky owner of the Pam 127 Nr 127! Wow, how many years? 2 and a half? At least! Thanks for your nice words, my friend. You're always welcome, here! Best, Nicolas
Same for me, Pink Panther
I love a lot the thick case of the 190, too. These are complementary Rads, to me. Best, Nicolas
I have a few
but I'd like to focus on the Cali too. This watch IMO is all about the dial and hands. A lot of care went into the details of the dial, the volume of the indices and the beautiful faux patina. Would too have preferred a solid caseback. I'll let these two ...
Agreed on the solid case back, Guille
The weakest point of this watch, indeed. Yep, the Cali is one of the strongest Base with its original dial. What else do you still own from what was a very nice Panerai collection? Best, Nicolas
Enough to satisfy
This one has been with me the longest This one, while not a Base is Basic to the Brand ;-) This one for the moody days They are all pretty Basic, that's how I see the and enjoy the Brand. And thinking of others that want to come back.........I miss the mo...
Good memories, indeed.
I was a fool to sell my 40, too. Seeing a 127, a 2 Pre A remind me the good old times, when Panerai was loved by true fans... Best, Nicolas
And based on Rolex of course
Extremely good examples of the 6154 and 3646 pieces but of course wouldn't be possible if it weren't for Rolex's 2081 and 2533, the base for Panerai in it's beginnings! Zongaman
Your examples are the real turning point
for Panerai and it's own design in fact. The dials on both of your vintage models were Panerai's first successful attempt at showing their expertise in illuminescence. Zongaman
Well
Congratulations Nicolas, didn't know you had Vintages. 6154 and a 3646, just doesn't get any higher. Enjoy these rare treasures. Very best
Of course, Guille, you didn't know because
They aren't mine! Although I was on to buy this 6154, but a lucky B....O got it before me... The 6154 is the Grail in the Vintage Panerai family, for me... Best, Nicolas
LOL
let's see B......O Espanol? ;-) 6154 had a chance to have a couple in my hands and WOW! The thinner case, the angles, this IMO is the full Blood Italian Panerai. Cannot live with regrets, though
From Spain to ..Germany
Without any transit by France... Damn. I thin you guessed well about B......O... Yes, completely agree...The Small Egiziano is so special that you can't do anything else then fall in love with. Certainly my favourite, although a 4 lines 6152...is not bad ...
