Officine Panerai

I’d been a lurker here for a long long time. I think my account was originally registered in 2008 or maybe 2010 or so. I didn’t actually begin to post regularly until about 12-18 months ago. And so, despite feeling like I’ve been around here for ages I ju...  

You got an impeccable collection!

As with all of us, there's an itch for new and shiny and so one always needs room for the part of a collection that might move around.

Looking forward to read a lot more from you . 🙏🏻

And top o' the mornin' to you. You're a great contributor with many interesting posts. You do the Forum well! I'm a little surprised you are so invested in Panerai as you have those tiny, tiny wrists. (Your words, sorta paraphrasing!) If you can pull off ... 

But let me explain. First, the 360 is the only Panerai which remains and while it was an important part of my history of collecting it was another time. So today I wouldn't say I'm invested in Panerai. More oddly than this 44mm piece I did own a number of... 

...with a by the way beautiful leather strap 👍🏻

And I LOVE the 360, one of the best Pams out there! Many of us still have a soft spot for Panerai. We all went through that era when our watch collecting passion was growing.
