Officine Panerai

Got my 127 this afternoon "after a long time of severe suffering" (the watch was at customs four days before it was delivered to me, God knows why ...). This is now my third watch purchase after I swore in November last year (after buying my grail watch I...  

that is THE PAM

Its appeal, unaltered through time. Nice acquisition. Now enjoy it...too much

Yes, I have to confess, this watch has its own effect that can hardly be described. Almost magical ... How do you do in Italy now? Ciao Thomas

it was love at first sight, with the Fiddy. Saw it in a shop window, while waiting for the Macau Hydrofoil, went in put the credit card on the counter and told the owner: "I want THAT one". Lollllll I'm doing great in Italy. After 35 years lived overseas,... 

That is a nice and very fitting wording. For me you are an institution here with a very deep knowledge of Panerai. So I consider it a kind of accolade that we share admiration and affection for the same reference. 😊 It is reassuring to read that you are w... 

I am convinced that this is the only way to buy a watch! At the moment when this special feeling is not there and you start to weigh up intellectually and try to hide small confounding factors from yourself, you should already keep your hands off. Actuall... 

Some here might disagree. I would say the 127 is one of the best modern Panerai creations. I have learned that the Fiddy is an almost identical replica of the modified 6152/1 with angelus 240 movement. For sure I personally have never seen another Luminor...  

And easy to remember for me. 127 <-> 721. Number magic...

No message body

Thanks a lot for your warm and kind words. What´s next? Hmmmhhh... To be on the safe side: no new fasting vows anymore. Hahahahahaha! I have to confess my journey is very emotionally driven. I will know it for sure at the moment when I see the watch. If h... 

For me, while I always hope to find a new watch, "courting" the right piece and sometimes even waiting for it also play a fascinating role... There are indeed many great options, and those you mention are obviously in this category. I don't remember if yo... 

I have owned the Patek 5146G for more than 10 years. I sacrificed it for my Nr. 1 grail, my IWC MR. Among others also my Patek 5146G had to go. I simply didn’t feel the same as for the MR. And the 5146G had become a lukewarm safe queen during the last yea...  

Nothing more to add except maybe a little picture. Enjoy it a lot 👍🏼 ...  

That is also my feeling. If you look for example at Chrono24 you will find a few well-preserved pieces. I have to admit, the prices are partly astronomical. That's why I stayed true to my principles again this time and again made a partial trade-in deal. ... 

Yeaaaah! We have the same strap on the 127. I can´t believe my eyes! Although this is without special performance on my part it's like a knighthood for me. Hahahaha!

It sits perfectly on your wrist. The decoration of the movement is wonderful. It is hard to find a Luminor that can beat this beauty. Enjoy!

I just detected my mistake during examining my Fiddy closely for the first time. And after reading a very interesting article about the Fiddy at

the hyper domed S A P P H I R E. 😎 Salut Thomas ...

Nice story. On you can find the following explanation: „The modified Rolex 6152/1 that served as an example for the PAM 127 forms part of the Archivio Storico Panerai (Hystoric Panerai Archive) since the take-over of the Officine Panerai brand. The moder...  

J'étais très content de faire ça, mon ami

Engravings on the back side of crown guard

it seems so. Best Thomas

...  

Oh my god. I am in love again. 🔥🔥🔥

I'm obviously lovable and flammable (or even promiscuous ??) in watches. As long as this is only limited to watches, it still goes through as "harmless". Hahahahaha.

...  

According to the seller, the watch was serviced for the last time five years ago, but has been almost never worn. I've been watching her for about 24 hours now. She has lost 2 seconds and therefore keeps the time wonderful. Also according to the seller, t... 

Thanks a lot. Thomas

Thanks for your helpful advice.

That's exactly how I'm going to do it. Merci beaucoup, mon ami Thomas

It is really a pleasure to wear this watch on my wrist. It wears so great. What about your considerations regarding 995? All the best my friend Thomas
