Thanks Nicolas. A bit excessive as well so its time to press the pause button! Sometime when I get several reference in a short time I end up regretting some of them or at least

Dec 20, 2020,07:41 AM
 

not appreciating all of them. The collection went down to 1 watch in Jan 2020 to now 8 watch in Dec 2020. Hoping I will not regret any of them (clearly not the 3 I posted here)...but i went so quickly these past month that I may have 1 or 2 that are still in the probation phase!

Yes, I still own the Orange PO. But the model you own has a different character as the indexes are not orange. A very "J. Bond" look. I guess I will get a good example sooner or later as as you well say they were very popular and many can be found in seco...

Thank you so much Yacomino for your kind comments. Glad to know you liked the 931. It is really nice and the dial need to be seen in the metal to really appreciate it.

 
 By: Subexplorer : December 18th, 2020-03:49
I´m specially fond of Cali dials and this is a very different offering to the other Cali Pams I own. Have a nice weekend and I look forward to know about your December watches and expectations for the Xmas tree if any. Best cordial regards, Abel

If I am not mistaken the Pam 931 has an older manual wind movement P3000...I wonder how it compares to the P4000 which is really pleasantly surprising me!

Yes can’t wait to get into the wrist can mode this weekend with this theme

Yes Yacomino, the 931 has same P3000 movement. I have no experience with the P4000 as no one of my Panerais got this movement. But I got several with P3000 and they proved to be ...

Wow Art!! That´s a beautiful horological Xmas Tale!! What a wonderful catch and with a most charming story around its hunting. Loved to read it!! I´m so happy for you my dear friend!

 
 By: Subexplorer : December 20th, 2020-06:21
I´m so sure there is a Santa Claus as much as that sometimes stars align for us. This is a good example which confirms my beliefs! Some wonderful catches this year dear Art. I wish you´ll have a peaceful Xmas and a good New Year 2021 with much good health...

Really was not expecting to receive the Ed White in 2020 but Santa sprung a surprise..... ...And I wish Santa will be in time with the goodies for you and Mrs Subexplorer this X'mas! Have a safe and enjoyable X'mas!

My big pleasure dear S F! As I told Art in my answer to his post, I believe Santa Claus exists and that Stars align some times for us. This is another clear case!

 
 By: Subexplorer : December 20th, 2020-06:45

Very interesting to know the story behind this watch, a timepiece which was bought as a celebration of end of WWII presented to you by his original owner! A charming vintage watch which is very special indeed. I can imagine you are working hard this week ... 

What a great watch to have in the collection

 
 By: Seeks : December 20th, 2020-06:36
