Thanks guys

Hi all

Thanks for such a warm welcome.  I am so drawn to Panerai, I just love the simplicity of the dial and yet I am already longing for another one.

Well, after having been ejoying my PAM219 every day for about a month, with already another OEM calf Vintage strap..!!!  Gotta tell you. I ever once questioned about the accuracy differences between OP X and OP XI movements, but now, i think the only reason OP XI got the C.O.S.C. is because it has the small second...  Or else I could be wrong.  My PAM219 proves Its accuracy to be excellent!! it hasn't missed a beat.  I tested by setting the time with the digital clock in my car dashboard so that I could check its accuracy every morning while driving to and back from work.  PAM219 nailed it every time...  The power reserved is also very accurate.  I found that it lasted almost 58 hours after fully wound. 

And today, my contact at the local AD called to let me know that he is having a new PAM183 L series available..(passing through all those waiting list) which by the way, the production for 'L' series is limited to only 600 peices..  From what I have discovered from the net.. PAM183 production number for each series has been about 1,500 for serveral years consecutively.  Surprised me at first but guess they have been pretty busy making those New in-house movement P.900x series.. and yet.. the rumors that has been flying around about the new P.999 newest which is planning to be released during SIHH2010, they have less time making based movement PAM.

Well, I have always had my eyes on Radiomir Panerai and PAM183 was the true beauty.. Hadn't I already got the base PAM219 about a month ago, I would have had hard time deciding between PAM210 and PAM183.  Guess I'd go in and check it out for myself and see if I should wait a little longer and enjoying my PAM219 or I should grab another one while it lasted.

what do you guy think?
