That is my wrist btw!!!!

He brought a couple others as well, the top most one is mine.

*sigh*

So nice. At least I got to try it on once in my life.

Yeah, that is my wrist in those pics!!!!!

LOVE IT. So want it, but alas, it won't happen, unless someone wants to spot me 20 large or I win the lotto!!!

B. Doggy · 23 October 2009, 11:29 AM

I'd like to try a 47mm piece but wonder if it would be too big????

mfer · 23 October 2009, 12:24 PM

I know the pic is close but that is 47mm on a 6.5" wrist and after seeing it today on me, I wouldn't hesitate if I had the means financially.

*sigh*

Now that said, I wouldn't wear it to any business meetings.

If the owner let me put it on my wrist, I'd be on an APB on the six o'clock news.

That's just real pretty. Thanks for sharing, Mik.

You never know where Panerai will go. They're still a fledgling brand and growing. Who knows, you may be wearing what is the next Patek or AP?.....

Bryan...we can all dream about winning the lotto right?
thanks for the encouragement...

Joey_V · 23 October 2009, 01:20 PM

I don't know enough about Pams (seeing as I'm new) to truly appreciate the first pic.

What's so key about that one?

ocwatching · 23 October 2009, 01:53 PM

it was a Special Edition issued int 02/03 and is a reproduction of the 6152 with an Angelus movement...6152 had Rolex case and was made for the italian navy...historically significant in both rolex and Panerai history (copied broadly from jakes watch blog)...

google is your friend...

TswaneNguni · 23 October 2009, 02:01 PM

In ss nothing beats a 47mm 1950s cased luminor.A 127 and 203 have been on my wrist at a GTG and they are magnificent.Even at the going rate of $18-20k these days for used,I still think its one of the best buys in the Panerai Kingdom.The 127 is a magnificent piece !! If I can find one in my part of the woods,I wouldnt even think twice.

Have to see the 341 in the flesh still ..... It may just be a knockout.I have large wrists so it will suit me well !! One can dream !!!

Trurolexer · 23 October 2009, 10:37 PM

Hey Mik, look so perfect in your wrist. what you're waiting for? GO FOR IT!!!

mfer · 23 October 2009, 11:41 PM

Actually the 127 doesn't have the 8 day Angelus movment, that's the 203. Now that one is super

Joey_V · 24 October 2009, 01:43 AM

Thanks for info fellow paneristis!

GBJIV · 25 October 2009, 03:01 PM

I was at a GTG here in California not long ago - there were a couple of 127's. I think it is an amazing PAM. I have the 217 - but, really love the 127 too.... I have issues my friends...!

mfer · 26 October 2009, 01:59 AM

Yeah, I know you got the 217. I think I want that one MORE than the 127. I'm in the minority here, but I'd love a right handed watch!!!! I'd wear it on the right too!

blueflamesg · 29 October 2009, 04:52 AM

used to have pam 127, 249 and 190. all r fantastic watches, too bad it looks too big for me and i sold all. now into other brand. but 1 thing for sure, it 1 of the nicest brand around, if only i am more big sized haha
