Here are a few quick pics....

I bought it from my AD for Andie for being such a great sport during this pregnancy. I got it from my normal Rolex AD at a very nice price. The funny part is, I wanted to get her an explorer, but she insisted on a quartz. She is stoked with it and will have a second option from her daily wearer from the last 2 years.

And one comparison shot of what we both have on tonight.

Thanks for reading guys.

Very nice Daren.
My wife has a Tag F1 for one of her daily wearers too.
The more I see the Submersible, the more I like it too.

dman · 14 March 2006, 12:15 PM

I saw a 170 today that almost made me wet my pants. Submersible in Ti with a bracelet, very nice!! I started to scheme in my head, than took a deep breath and said, patience you silly Hawaiian fool.

I hear you
I called my AD today ( as well as some within a few hundred miles, actually NZ) to check on Panerai stock.

My AD, told me "Soon.. 3 weeks to 3 months for new stock" BUT
they had 2 left over. One was the Submersible (PAM025) and one LIMITED EDITION white gold baby for a mere $29,000.

Yeah, I was scheming for a minute also

dman · 14 March 2006, 01:06 PM

25? Well that is different from your other Pannie. I have to tell you, I am more taken with this 24 than any other Panerai I have owned. I still ove the 88 alot, but this one gets reached for more and more it seems.

I love the dial on the 25, but the Submersible line is not for everyone. I like that you have your sights set on the historic with a black dial, but you do own a historic already.

Launch Mini · 14 March 2006, 01:10 PM

The 25 is a bit much for my tastes. Too busy for me. Still nice, but not my favourite.
I think I'll stick to my plan. I know I will end up with 2 historic's, but hopefully will end up with my white face 114 and a simple black face base. However, if a 212 shows up, all bets are off.

Oh hold on!! If we are talking 212 I know what you mean. That watch would make me think that owning more than one would be useless.

Good job!
What a way to reward your wife.

I got Faith a lady Constellation Mini last summer and she LOVES it!

Thanks JJ, she is very happy. Actually wearing it to bed, a first for her in all the time I have known her. Maybe I can talk her into a Explorer down the road.

That is one 36mm watch I would wear for sure.

But it gets me in the good graces to buy others for myself. Already have another in the crosshairs. About another three weeks of stashing pennies and I will jump on it. Not sure what the hell I will do with four watches, but I will try to manage.

Nice watch you picked up for the bride Daren.

Looks like she is liking it akready

Good job Daren.......

Rockrolex · 15 March 2006, 12:34 PM

Nicely done, Daren. Our goal is to keep "the little woman" happy (don't tell Andie I called her that, even tongue in cheek

) because, as Arleen is so fond of saying: "if Momma ain't happy, no one's happy."

I have to say the Tag looked pretty big next to the Tudor. But when you put it up against the PAM, all of a sudden it looked rather tiny.

You are too right Ed.

Just trying to always keep her happy and still one step ahead of her. At least I keep her happy, one for two ain't bad.

The TAG actually looks on the big side on her, I love it. Next step Explorer, then on to a 40mm Pam, all in my dreams.

Launch Mini · 15 March 2006, 01:18 PM

Daren, My wife is left handed, so guess what she's looking at now?
Yup Destro.
I think I've created two monsters with one line of watches

But dude, that is double the watches in the collection if she likes the 44mm. take advantage of that one.

Plus, we have always been on the twofer system. One for her and two for me. I better get to shopping.
