Nice report Nicolas! Love to wear it once a week...'only when going to church and reading a book' as someone once said ;-) Indeed it always feels very special on the wrist. Cheers, Gerard from Holland...  

Thanks for the article Nicolas

Happy to see that you didn't sell it, finally, Gerard in Holland!

 
 By: amanico : June 2nd, 2008-07:10
This watch is so beautiful, and so symbolic, too! As for the Church, I have to confess...that I put it more often on the wrist than I go to Church... I love all my pannies, well those that I still own, but this one is really special. Best, my friend, and ... 

Did sell....but bought it back

 
 By: Gerard from Holland : June 2nd, 2008-07:38
Did sell....but bought it back some 8 months later. Could afford it and couldn’t miss it. Well 'church'…Someone said that, not me ;-) Cheers, Gerard from Holland

Wow, magic, Gerard

 By: bo : June 1st, 2008-08:18
but this one? it was the death of a thousand cuts...the lack of a Logo has never been more keenly felt. that said, absolutely wonderful "review", truly stellar (and archived forever!) recap of the one piece that i yearn to have on my wrist. cheers, bo

Maybe someday I'll understand the Panerai mystique . . .

 
 By: Dr No : June 1st, 2008-08:28
. . . and if and when I do, it will be due to the influence of reviews like this . . . thanks, Nicolas. Best regards, Art

It is always a great pleasure to discover and read again and again your documented and well illustrated posts. I have the impression to start "knowing" a little The Panerai story. You are a well of erudition. Great pleasure you deliver us. THANKS, THANKS,... 

Perfect post, except the M and NM preference is backwards!

 
 By: sqrl : June 1st, 2008-13:37

Now this is what I'm talking about! Thanks for the history of the Logo and also explaining to everyone what a "matching" and "non-matching" Logo is. I personally always liked the non-matching more, especially with the PVD case which I consider to maybe be...
