Luminor Power Reserve

Compared to the 125, the 090 is … a small! … (a very small!!!) beauty. 😎 And I hope that comforts you a little…? P.S.: The 125 was MY first Panerai… I was so proud of it. I sold it a few years later. Even today, I still get chills down my spine and shiver

Dear Sergio, I had a good laugh reading your post. There was a time when Panerai tried very hard to prove they could do everything… Power reserve. GMT. Date. Cyclops. Chronograph. Text. More text. I believe I might have some strong contenders for the comp

....Panerai models not "on Panerai". For instance I've always considered the PAM123 the ugliest model ever produced. Now it can "disguise" itself among some mainstream Panerai.
