Officine Panerai

My latest acquisition, the 721, apparently drives me crazy and has easily pushed me to my 1000th post! So I have to write it here: Dear members, I am deeply grateful for your fellowship and friendship! I am still at the beginning of my journey. And the in...  

That feels really good! ☺️ I think we both have got a very strong virus we will need to deal with... 😬 Now I have to work hard to achieve your photographic skills and to reach your ability to combine these perfect matching straps. Cheers, Thomas

Your first milestone. Keep them coming!

I always enjoy your posts. Please, keep them coming too! Kind regards, Thomas

... and congratulations! Kind regards, Dan

I try, I try, but I am far away from the ability of some others in this forum. So I am stuck in my iPhone world... Cheers, Thomas

...  

Sigh... ...  

by the way...

Many thanks to you too for your participation in this forum. Nice watch by the way!

And thank you for your very kind words. Best, Thomas

A small milestone compared to many others here. But I am afraid I will pick up speed now... Best, Thomas

I will have to work hard to achieve your status... Best, Thomas

"1000 thousand of everything, it will kill you". The author, obviously, handn't been exposed to WatchProsite I actually happen to agree with you opinion of this forum. I, myself, think that this is the most...mature, sophisticated and user friendly forum ... 

E mille grazie! I appreciate your knowledge and experience very much. So I am also looking forward to your coming posts! Cordiali saluti, Thomas

In a variation of a well-known quotation: It’s a small milestone in this forum but a big one for me. ☺️ I have to confess that - at the moment - this 721 captures me more than any other watch from my collection. It’s so pure and yet so strong... Kind rega... 

... its very best. Thank you for your kind words, PP5170G.

Happy for your milestone n ur 721

Did you already get the chance to try the 752 or 753? I remember that you asked for them? Best, Thomas

Actually I'm hoping they don't come too fast. I think I'm still considering a pam380, despite the strong dislike from Mr Sergio :p. I want to still get a Unitas piece, but brand new

Signore Sergio, wealth of experience and knowledge, can be very strictly if it comes to Panerai. I am not sure if he appreciates the „721 trend“ very much... 🙃 But we have to stay strong... ☺️ If the PAM380 warms your heart, take it! Best, Thomas ... 

☺️

I’m definite that I’ll be getting that timepiece soon. The OP boutique has promised me one. Hopefully will be able to share this same piece to our community. Wear the watch in good health!

for your kind words. I have to confess that not often a watch has touched and captured me in this way... Take it without hesitation. You will not regret it. Have you already got the chance to try it on your wrist? Please keep us up to date! Kind regards, ... 

I just noticed the Panerai rehaut from the pictures posted by Ahoi and yourself. Pretty clever and unique! This watch will be special because my first Pam was a 287 Black Seal auto. Since selling it three years ago, I was always on the lookout for a futur...  

It was a pleasure to share it. Congratulations and wear it in good health and post more pics

😍

Finally you got it! 😀 It‘s a great pleasure for me to see this special piece on your wrist. Yes, I think this will be a keeper for you. Wear it in best health and with great joy! And, please, give some other watches - from time to time - a little chance o... 

Here’s a pic. When I was bringing home the baby. Taking extra precaution to avoid the first scratch. ...  

I think some small scratches take nothing away from it’s beauty. Perhaps it adds some additional charm. ☺️ Although this is easy for me to claim since my 721 hasn’t sustained the lightest scratch so far.

I can’t help glancing and saying to myself that it’s such a beautiful and charming piece. So lucky to get this piece from my OP boutique. The dome crystal, the wire lug, the ecru colored index and the blue ecru hands... definitely a sight to behold. First... 

Always a special achievement! Looking forward to many more post, watches and a GTG at some point!

compared to many other fellow purists. But I give my best. Many thanks for your kind words, KMII! A GTG some day would be really nice. Kind regards, Thomas

The „extravaganza“ goes on. ☺️ Just a quick shot before the next meeting. Yes, I still wear the OEM strap. Too new for any patina. Cheers, Thomas ...  

thanks a lot for your kind wishes! I have to say I like your collection a lot (at least what I have seen so far). Also your „cross over“ from Patek to Panerai. 😊 Best, Thomas

I value your passion, which is substantiated with so much experience and knowledge and arises clearly in each of your threads. That‘s why you are - not only for me - a fundamental part of our community. Kind regards, Thomas

... and your Pam 721! It is a very interesting model with a lot of controversial history behind but a part of Panerai own story. I like this minimalistic dial so much and its blued hands set as only “luxury” touch and the contrast of its creamy indexes. I...  

Congratulations to the 721. since when do you have if ? Super happy for you ... and me

... Keep enjoing and loving your Panerai my friend! Cheers! Abel

May it never end! ☺️ Cheers, Thomas

A very warm welcome to our little 721 club! I must say this piece looks really perfect on your wrist. A part of Panerai‘s own story... very true! And a memento of some very dark sides of history we must not forget. The design of the watch is pure, simple ...  

I absolutely agree with your comments about this model and the one which inspired it. Thank you for your compliments. It looks so nice on your wrist as well. It is a very handsome Panerai indeed. With much pleasure I will post some new pictures soon. Keep... 

How is your honeymoon? ☺️ Cheers, Thomas

It’s a remarkable Psnerai indeed! To love and enjoy! I wish you’ll keep loving snd enjoying so much too! Hagwe! Abel

I asked my AD, and he managed to get it in one week. But I don’t know how the situation is now. And I think that my AD, who is the most renowned in my town, has “special connections”. So: just try! I also saw one offer at Chrono24. Good luck and all the b... 

I love the 721 and asking for one : It 's OK ( i waiting it for the next week ) ... Also, no difficult to get, but we can know in the future : it's a spécial edition ...

Paneristi refuse it. Perhaps that’s the reason. Best, Thomas

And the ad around where I am living do not one anymore. So To me there are still some out there but it will get harder and harder to get one. To me they gonna be sold out eventually unlike e.g. the 662.

the 721 has the chance to become a much sought after classic. Perhaps already in a short time...
