This has been an exciting beginning of year to me...
... with two timepieces hunted during last week. Two beautiful watches I was looking after for some time. I am sharing here on of these pieces, a Panerai of course. It is a reference 5218-301/A pre Vendome model Mare Nostrum, which I found in good general...
Congratualtions, Abel!
Pre-V is a great way to start the year. Enjoy that Mare Nostrum in the best of health. Best, CaliforniaJed
You know this one is a strong love. THe under estimated MN is a top watch.
And a Top Panerai. What a look it has! Character, balance, awesome look, a certain elegance, too. One of my favourite Panerais. Bravo, very well done, Abel!
Thank you my dear friend Nicolas! You have described...
... this watch with exact words! It got an strong character and it also has an sporty elegance. A very unusual Pam for sure! This was part of the dealing together with the PP W/T, and the one whose dial made me doubt in a first look, as the seller wrongly...
You can already close your horological year with those two major catches, my friend.
Aah, by the way, one precision. PAM work for watches from 1997 and onward. PAM is a reference for Panerai watches since 1997. Before, it was Pre Vendôme Era, and PAM didn't exist. It was 5218- 201, 202, 203 or 301/A. Un fuerte abrazo, Amigo. Nicolas This ...
Ahh yes my friend... you are right in both cases...
... yes, I know about pre Vendom era. It´s just my (wrong) way of referring to Panerai as Pam. This could cause some confusion of course. And yes, I could close my year with these two purchases, and as a metter of fact I will need to recover from these tw...
Even more confusing whne we know tat some PAM Mare existed.
PAM 6, 7 and 8 ( Blue / White / Black dials ). As for your greediness, considering that you will be on diet till the end of this year it just utopic. :) :) :) Un abrazo, Amigo. Nicolas
The Mare Nostrum story would make for a very interesting thread...
... don´t you think so? And about Utopias and purchase restrains... do you believe on Dexter´s strenght? (I don´t! Lol!!) Un abrazo! Abel.
Muchas gracias mi amigo Nicolas! I searched for those old posts and...
... found several very interesting from you and Asimut, with lot of info. Regretably, most photography (your always wonderful pictures) are missing now from Imageshack. What a shame! I wish you´ll publish again some of those wonderful pictures by the sea ...
Thank you so much my dear friend Damjan! Yes, you are right: ...
... I´m on fire! I was very fortunate to end this long dealing satisfactorily an bring home these two pieces I desired so much, the Mare Nostrum and the PP Universal Time which I showed in last week end W/S. Thank you so much for your kind comments my fri...
That is a beautiful selection
It seem your taste is laser focused like a killer shark. I seem to continually go at the same reference and as Nico said I dry up the market. I need to share a few. Congratulation on another great addition to your collection. Bill
Thank you for your kind comments Bill! Yes, it is true...
... I have been focusing in Panerai lately. Of course I can´t forget my old love: Rolex. Now I will need a little rest to recover from my last investments. But Panerai and Rolex always offer so many temptations! Lol! Best cordial regards, Abel.
I won't be long before you have this in your target.
The very robust Panerai PAM 203. Good hunting. Best Bill Pam 203 ...
A great start to the year!
Congrats Abel on this very desirable MN and also on the WT. Two very fine pick-ups! Best fernando
