New PP Saying Hello
Greeting Folks,
I probably should have introduced myself a bit sooner---since I am new to the brand. I've been mostly a Rolex and Panerai collector over the years and recently purchased a 5196R as something different. The 5196R really appead to me because it was so stealthy. The 5196 will make a nice daily-wear. Anyway, just saying 'hello'. |

Welcome and congrats! I am borderline obsessed with this exact piece. Please show some more pictures as well as some more detailed comments on how you're getting on with it.
It's a beauty! |

Love the R version. Perfect blend of colors... Welcome. All great guys here...sometimes it gets a little savage but mostly well behaved. |

It strikes me that timeless is not a great quality in a watch.

Nice Pro Staff 85! Wasn't that Sampras' stick? It takes some skill to wield that one ...
Oh yeah, the watch is not bad either
