Gone but not forgotten: Pam 249 Radiomir so called " Cali "
Having a virtual walk in my real hard disk, I fell on this picture of my Ex Cali: Bringing me back to some nice souvenirs... I remember how I was excited while waiting for my California to land at my AD. How happy I was to finally get it. Certainly one of...
We're too similar, you and I. Less is more...
is what attracted me, eventually, to Panerai. The 249 was my...first...Panerai. I didn't even know it existed when I saw it in a shop window, in Hong Kong. I immediately went in, put the credit card on the counter (without asking the price, to be sure) an...
Indeed, a watch I miss a lot.
Here in Taormina, close to a real Maiale: Ciao, my friend! Nicolas. ...
What are you thoughts about the Cali dial in a Luminor case?
Do you think Panerai will ever make this combo? - AT
With Panerai, you can expect all, so why not such a variation?
I think the new clients will love it, the old school guys would rather be disoriented, and may be not so happy to see Panerai using and abusing of such a dial. A Cali dial is trongly linked to the Radiomir case. Best, Nicolas
I guess so. Hmm I can't picture how a Cali in Luminor case
would look like. Maybe it would look nice in the PAM372 1950 case but I'm having a difficult time imagining it visually. Guess I need to see a photoshop mockup. - AT
I had overlooked this post....
I sincerely hope they will...n e v e r...do that. :-) Ciaoooo
The Panerai 249 remains a strong Icon
Less is more. Clean lines and a strong look. Bil ...
Damn great on your wrist, definitely.
Some boat shots of the Cali? ;) Best, Sailor. Nicolas
I fell on this picture
many many times Any guess where my drinking problems are from??? :) Cheers my friend What a watch!!! A dream for me Best D
The 249 is for you, Nico
Hey Nico, yes the 249 is very well on you... No easy to buy again, but why not ? ;) I had to choose 190 or 249, (really different, right), and : But with a strap looking yours ! But certainly the 249 is going to join one day... ...
In fact, the strap on yours is the one I had on my Cali. ;)
I know, I know... But I can't, psychologically, re buy a piece which was stolen... And which is 2 times the price I paid when I got mine... Ciau, amicu miu. Nicolu. ;)
The Panerai 190 a real classic
This one is one of the rare watches that I kept the original strap on and never changed it. I is a sport classic that will endure time. Best Bill ...
"sport classic"
love that term..as much as i love my 190... I have had the 249/448 and ended up letting both go...after a while, its just too darn big for my girly wrist..but the Cali dial is just so "Panerai" thanks Bill and a great shot
