Trusted companions. Panerai 177K and Puppy.
Seventeen years ago on Christmas 2008, I received the 177K. It has been solid keeping time. This past year the Barrel Spring broke and I was able to replace it myself. Got to love the 6497-2 movement.
My little pup has been steadfast through the ups and downs the past eight years. Enjoy her every day.
Happy Holidays to all and wishing everyone a healthy and prosperous 2026!
Thanks! Was just in Chicago this past weekend.
Took my daughter Christmas shopping. PopMart took most of my money. No watch shopping. Walked by the Panerai Boutique on Oak at least 4 times. Looked at the window display and was not drawn in. Oh well.
Always. Enjoyed the Christkindlmarkets at Daley Plaza and Wrigleyville.
Friday was a list rough with -7F windchill, but we survived. 🥶
KC. Lived in Fort Wayne as a teenager. Survived the Blizzard of 78.
Not afraid of weather. Don’t mind cold, but I hate wind. You really appreciate heat when you come indoors.
Denver is lovely, but Colorado is Devine. It’s better to fly there than drive. Four hours into the drive, I want to pluck my eyeballs out with a fork.
17 years. Wow.
I had a 177 also, can’t recall the year. Bought in 2004/5 and sold it in either 2008 or 2009 to guy in Copenhagen.
Delivered it in person and took cash in return. Simpler times, for watches and watch deals!
Glad to see your still enjoying it. And that pup !
Yeah. I recall more than one scramble to secure an allocation for something.
Even at the very end for me, while not a LE, it was several phone calls and visits to secure an early 372. That was the last Panerai I purchased.
The Plexi 372 was my last Panerai purchase, too!
Just need to circle back and pick up a couple Unitas base models.
There is something unique about the breeds we bond in our hearts. Just love the bouncy gait of a Boxer. A Royal prance.
