New Kid in Town
 

As some of you know my 111 and 90 have gone to new homes. In their place I've added a reference that has been in the back of my mind for a while.

While some might feel the dial a bit busy for a Panerai, the watch seems to compliment the diver's and GMTs quite well.

My newest--the 250.

Interesting method to advance the date on those short months,

For you eagle eye types it is indeed a carbon fiber strap. I just couldn't get around the alligator OEM so a carbon fiber was substituted.:cheers:

Congratulations Mike, that's a fantastic looking piece :cheers: :thumbsup:


And there was me thinking you had a 320 or 233 on the way!





Cheers

111..................gone.................. :crying:

Oh well! ;)

Looks good Mike.

But what I don't get......you're not a gator fan!!!

sweet

LOL! Don't count out a 320 in the future my friend. I'm not sure when, but a 1950s case/in house is something I'd like to add.:cheers:

I was amazed how comfortable the carbon fiber was after trying on a few pieces that had them. Maybe the best OEM strap I've seen.:thumbsup:

Stunning watch and photos. Wear it in good health!

That is one healthy looking watch, Mike. :thumbsup: Would love to see it on the Panerai bracelet!! :cheers:

Great looking chrono, Mike.:clap: Great combo with the strap too.:thumbsup:
dP

Love it Mike, huge congrats. :cheers:

I think it's a great piece!

It's a beaut and that's for sure.:cheers::cheers:

Would I be right in saying there's an El Primero movement in that watch?

congrats Mike..I have always liked how Panerai integrated the pushers with the lum case!

It really looks good,esp on your wrist!:cheers:
Now you got me thinking about one of those carbon straps(i cant afford the watch)!

Paul, it's a V7750 movement--wobble and all.:chuckle: Many consider the Val movements to be real workhorses. All mine keep supurb time.

I had my AD put it on the timing machine before I got it.

Crown up was +2
Crown down 0
Crown left 0

Great looking! Thanks.

Sweet watch Mike :thumbsup: Congratulations and enjoy it in good health :cheers:

Very nice addition to your collection, Mike. Looks great with the oem carbon fiber strap. I am also a big fan of that particular strap for my "dressier" PAMs.

Congrats! very nice piece Mike!! :cheers: :cheers:

Thanks guys.:thumbsup:

Just a quick update on accuracy--7 days wearing, it's gained a total of TWO seconds.:clap::clap::clap:

beautiful Mike!! Disfrutalo!

Very nice indeed mike!!! Great Photos!

Mike....WHAT!! When did you get this piece. ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!

The BEST LOOKING PANERAI YET IMHO! :thumbsup:

You'll have to bring it by the range! For an "in the flesh" look.

BTW Kevin the Gunsmith.
