I still have to hunt down the PreV khaki sharkie...
Aloha, I just wanted to stop by and share a few pics of my latest... =)
the 5218-201A Logo...=)
Blue shoebox...
Mahogany
Pre-V goodies...
Pre-V tan Divers strap w/ PreV Logo buckle...=)
Should've wiped down the subject before picture taking...=)
The watch itself... My camera is from 1915 (or so it seems), and doesn't do macros... But as you know, the PreV dials are pretty cool in the way that the thick layer of varnish filled in over the tritium almost acts like an interior 2nd crystal. It's like a clear coat with mirrorish looks, but helps to amplify the effect of the deep dish numerals and markers. It's fun to gaze at...This creamy yellow patina is a matching dial, and well... it suits Purists at heart.=)
Sharp and thick lugs...
Like many of you... I really enjoy the fonts on Panerai dials...
Quick and dirty wrist shot...
Well, thanks for stopping by and partaking in my moment of enjoyment with this piece... It was born in 1993- the ending of the era, and the birth of the 44mm Luminor...=)
Happy Fathers Day everyone!!
Much Mahalos,

Thanks Asi... You are the man.

Welcome to the Family, Greg.
This is an important watch, indeed.
The end of an era, the beginning of another, of it is the mother of all the actual Luminor.
This Pre V Logo is the Essence of Panerai, to me.
A minimalist dial, beautiful and powerful at the same time.
No futility.
Mine welcomes yours:
Huge congrats on this important catch.
Best,
Nicolas

Looks like a very fine example
