you didn't let it go without having some precise things under your sleeve.

May I ask you to mremove your sleeve?

Best,

Nicolas.

Pre A 4 or 9?



Best,

Nicolas.

the second series 202A has the same PVD finish as the 203A...My guess would be 203A also...Guillermo

I like what I see so far...and if it's a 203A..WoW..congrats...

beside being good in making future pams concepts or wishes... you are good at teasing.

come on roll that sleeve up PLEASE.

And from the sneak peek, looks very promising to me!

Just reveal it all to us! We are curious!

I would say that this is very sad, however, in the present case there seems to be reason to rejoice.

Best regards,

So here it is . my first T dial.... and to be honest the one watch I never actually thought I would get.

My journey began with thoughts of a humble B series Pam 2...with T dial. Afterall, its very much a fanatstic piece and affordable. Then I saw Sam's T-SWISS-T. I honestly did not know anything about pre V or pre A etc. So began the research into the history.

The fascination made me want a pre A too. Preferably a 2, or 9 or 4. Then stupidly I post here that I too looking for a T SWISS T, and that bloody Frenchman says why do you need a dial with the T?

Ooooffffff... I know think what does he mean??? and then I see the pre V, wow. But the price is more WOW. Even the logo watches bloody expensive!

I quickly gave up on the idea of a pre V. I knew had to release my Pam 28, so I decided on a pre A 4 or 9 for the pvd.

I couldn't believe how expensive these were. But I decided to make the plunge, then out of the blue, I see a private collector advertise a watch I thought was unobtainable.....

It was very keen on price too....because this was no safe queen. It showed a good life! But it was still 15k euro more..

The collector, though offered to take the 28 at a good price as well as my Deepsea. That and succesful sale of some pieces [  No new money for watches, everything has to be sold to fund new    ] meant I had enough. I will admit, I was unsure to spend so much on a Panerai... a year ago this would have been inconcievable.

so here it is.....

5218 203/A

enjoy with me this great watch...

If yes, I have a nice stor to tell you...



Super uber cool catch, my friend!

I'm so happy for you.

Now, you talk very loud to me.



Best,

Nicolas.

love that T-dial goodness and its a piece that's not been pampered...

congrats on a great pickup...

do the same, sell my 305 and deepsea too! LOL. Seriously, a very good catch.

Regards

John

on getting your first Tritium dial..... a nice 203/a catch is all it takes!

Mech.

It's one of the best looking pvd dial panerai ever made.. The pencil gray color of the case is looking awesome!

My biggest and most sincere congratulation to you to finally get your fist t-dial panerai.

I hope that it wont be the last...

So now you need to get a proper strap for that one!!

Best,

Sam
