I have a theory....

the REAL collectors have no use for the 232 and the fair-weather Paneristi are prone to...fashion. Some models have been "in fashion" for a very short time and faded into oblivion. Same goes for 249, 127...and many more. Today's clients (not fellow underground nuts) waltz into a boutique and buy the latest model with a nice, in house movement in it. Paying real money for a model encasing a "dirt cheap" Unitas? Not for my money, thank you very much. All the above is strictly based on MY personal opinion..ok?

Some models not often seen, in these pages....

Now I understand what a Paneristi means in real world. What a collection!

Lovely 232!

This has got to be one of the best shots of a 232 brown dial ever. For some reason, 232 resale values have been quite soft lately, can't really explain it.

I need a 587 to go with my 673. I came close about 6 months ago but someone beat me to it. Thanks for the photos! Kent
