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.

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.

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. :chuckle: :thumbsup:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
I hear you
I called my AD today ( as well as some within a few hundred miles, actually NZ) to check on Panerai stock.:rofl:
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.:crying:
Yeah, I was scheming for a minute also:banghead: :banghead:

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. :chuckle: :thumbsup:

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.:rofl:

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. :clap:
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. :thumbsup:

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

Nice watch you picked up for the bride Daren.:thumbsup: Looks like she is liking it akready :clap:

Good job Daren.......:thumbsup: :cheers:

Nicely done, Daren. Our goal is to keep "the little woman" happy (don't tell Andie I called her that, even tongue in cheek :lol: ) because, as Arleen is so fond of saying: "if Momma ain't happy, no one's happy." :chuckle:

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. :clap:

You are too right Ed. :thumbsup: 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. :chuckle:

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. :chuckle: :chuckle:

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:dummy:

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

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