PreVendome 5218-202/A Marina Militare

 
 By: i_am_Sam : December 10th, 2011-05:56
So the other day I posted a trivial post "What does 36 + 9 equal to?".. Some knew the answer right.. It is really the PreVendome 5218-202/A, the Marina Militare.. I always think that the best feature of both watches combined together fits the very charact...  

Att'a boy Sam.....

about time you introduced this....splendour....properly. S P E C T A C U L A R. Without doubt my favourite Pre-V. Oh, well, I got the 36 first and you got the Pre-A 9 first. Looks like I'll have to....languish behind for a while longer...hahahaha Congratu... 

Thank you Sergio....

You saw this coming didn't you? (Well I think you saw it somewhere else ) SPECTACULAR is the right word, I still can't think of any other Panerai that looks as good as this one I really have to say to you, don't wait too long if you're looking for this on... 

Congratz, Sam

When I see pics if this beauty, I regret mine, but what a pleasure to see a true Panerai fan being able to put his hands and passion on such a monster. Huge congratulations, my friend. You are in the roots, with these awesome pieces. Well, you only miss a... 

Well Nicolas...

 
 By: i_am_Sam : December 10th, 2011-16:36
Your piece was in-fact the more desirable Non-Matching dial.. A very spectacular example I must say.. I truly feel that I've reached the roots of "modern-day" Panerai with these important pieces But to get to the vintage, I'm not sure if I'm ready... Than... 

Well said about the roots of the modern days..

 
 By: amanico : December 10th, 2011-22:51
The problem with the Vintage is that one out of 5 is a fake... And that it is not always easy to say when it is a good one. You've got the Mare Pre V, Sam? I don't remember, but if you don't, you should get it. Best, my friend. Nicolas

That's true Nicolas...

 
 By: i_am_Sam : December 11th, 2011-03:21
Plus that it really is NOT CHEAP at all.... I've always been a huge admirer of the Mare , especially the PreV Mare But I just always spend my budget to go for my grails But I really do hope I will be able to get one one day IMHO, The PreV Mare is one of t...  

Now it is " Mare Time ", Sam.

 
 By: amanico : December 11th, 2011-04:41
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.

Let's just wait and see...

 
 By: i_am_Sam : December 11th, 2011-07:43
As for now this last purchase hurt my wallet badly... But made me very happy.. Thats what matters, doesn't it? ) I really hope one day, I will end up with one of the three beautiful PreV Mare I have yet to see the beauty of the smooth bezel of the 304, as... 

Oh my God....

....that's all I can say every time I see a 202/A. Simply the best, of the best, of the best, of the best, of the....

Thanks Ale! :) [nt]

 By: Jester : December 11th, 2011-07:32
your persistant quest for these pre-vendome rareties. Looks like this particular piece has indeed lived a rather productive life on the wrist? Congrats!

Thanks Jester...

 
 By: i_am_Sam : December 11th, 2011-07:47
That is in-fact the path I chose to go through... It gave me much pleasure and satisfaction to go through it And as for my piece, it certainly has some character ( or say it wear ) but still i'm really happy with it.. Thanks again for your kind words! Sam

Awesome catch my friend!
