Good memories: A group shot of what was my Panerai collection in 2007.

Now it is " Mare Time ", Sam.

You can't consider a Pre V Collection without a Mare... Noit necessarily a Slytech, like this 302, by the way. A 301/ A is enough. And if you want the Creme De La Creme, go for a 304, with its amazing smooth bezel. Best, Nicolas.

yes the 192

Thanks vm Nico! I have not been able to see the 192 in person, but just by looking at some of the pics the luminova seems to be particularly green for some reason. Perhaps it is the lighting but I would like it to be more brownish. I tried to look up the

For the Slytech Mares, Sam

There is no " / A "... So the exact reference is 5218-302, and 5218-304, while on the current Mare the Ref is 5218 - 301 / A... Don't ask me why, I don't know. The smooth bezel is a monster, a very rare piece ( only 31 were made under the Pre V era ). I'm

I had all the Pre Vendome Mare Nostrum

The 2 Slytech ( smooth bezel which is now on Patrice's wrist and Tachy bezel which is now in Australia on a very good fellow's wrist ), and several 301/ A. It is indeed a very special watch from the Panerai Family. Smaller than the others, with its 42 mm
