An old and funny shot: Panerai Pre Vendome Mare Nostrum Ref 5218-301/A and the Turtle.
Taken in Morocco some 12 years ago: That is one of these watches I miss a lot, with my beloved Pre Vendome Logo. That pair was very alluring. But we cannot rewrite History, alas. At least I still have some fond memories about that watch. Best, Nicolas ...
Good question! The snapping turtles are ill tempered!
All the tortoises I've met were fairly well tempered! Although I haven't met many! And the sea turtles in the Maldives are mostly well tempered, probably a little cautious not to get too close to me.
What they really need to guard these watches are...
Sharks with frickin laser beams attached to their heads...just saying...😉
Interesting Nico that the 30 minute timer is a try “9” while the running time is at “3”
Or is that more common than I think?
From a friend.. It is hard to believe...
you do not consider to add another Mare Nostrum to your chronograph collection, only trying to help ;-) ...
An exceptional watch!
But perhaps it might be too large for a „normal“ European wrist?
What a cool turtle! Or Tortoise.
In English we differentiate between turtle and tortoise. In French I believe they're all "tortue." I've always liked tortoises. Especially ones with great taste in watches!
