Yo Sam.....
long....LONG....L O N G....time 
Tell you what, when I saw the picture, on the brochure, I was pretty..non committal. When I saw the fine engravings and strapped it on my wrist (during the SIHH, earlier this year) I told myself I HAD to get one. I'm perfectly aware of the shortcomings this piece has for being a Panerai, but as a manufact, it's pretty impressive. That and the "unicity" of the pieces since each of them is..hand-engraved I would not raccomend it to other Paneristi and wouldn't expect any "endorsement" from a grass-root Panerista (the other half of me, for example...hahahaha). Outside Panerai, I'm doing better than....great. Doing any better, without ending up behind...bars...it's impossible, I think!!! Nice reading you again
Florence's Lilis...PAM604 Firenze :-)
My latest aquisition. I'm sure not many will agree with my taste but, luckily I do. I'm experimenting with straps too...hahahahaha...
Wow congrats!
Didn\'t see you as a Purdy engraving Panerai kind of guy. Cheers, Anthony
Thanks. It's the Florence Reinassance motif that....
did the damage. Besides, since this is engraved "by hand", everyone of them it's a potential..unique..Besides, you should see the dial live, amazing :-) Ciao
If one is from Florence
or supporter of Fiorentina then is hyper cool ;) All the best D
Surprising.... I would avoid the Red and go for a more discrete color to enhance the work
on the case... Best, Sergio. Nicolas
I agree with you and have already changed back to the original strap....
I have in mind a deep red (bordering on burgundy) in calf leather and used the red one, for a couple of days, to figure out if red (of any hue) had something to do with this model.. :-)
I'll meet with an Italian strap maker....
in a couple of weeks and we'll figure something out. I'll bring a Pre-V buckle with me and have it sewn-in...
I went to a leathers/hides...
distributor, today, together with the strap maker. If what we "visualized" will come out...exactely...the way we did, I'll have a strap that will stop clocks in the streets...hahaha Ciao
I love it from far.
But i far from love it. No just playing it feels like and an old friend. A great looking watch like an old shot gun with history. Bill
Tell you what....
for me, there are models that I have bought out of "fatal attraction", others because of "collection". I have a couple that I like ZERO but make sense together with the other ones. This one, I happen to like and it's a fabulous collection piece IMO obviou...
Congrats Sergio!
One of the interesting release by Panerai that I'd love to see in person Hope everything is well there my friend Sam

Hey Sergio...
Yeah... It's been a while my friend ! Nice reading posts from you and nice to know that you still have strong passion for Panerai.. And good to know that you're doing great! I've been busy with work and family life lately.. And only the past couple of day...
The 375 it's next. Delivery of this...
long overdue model will begin shortly. I'm a patient man and never cancelled my...original...booking...hahahaha
WOW. 1st one in the wild !
i do agree with your Taste.. Totally :0)))) LOVE it. big BIG Congrats.. wear it in good health.
Let it be..chamois...
The first "after market" it's a bit brighter than I had in mind (the second one it's a bit more..spot on..) but the chamois's texture it's not bad :-) ...
One month Later. Did the red starp work over the summer
Or did it become the focus of the conversation rather than the beauty of the watch itself.
The jury is still out on that one....
I still like it but, due to the weird dial, red it's not the...definitive...colour for the 604 strap. I'm ready to try another experiment. Last night, at a Panerai's Florence "bash", lots of people liked the red strap, but a lot also thought it is a bit.....
The important thing is that the watch stands out.
Not the bracelet. The bracelet is the supporting cast in the film. HAGWE Bill
