Added a Panerai and JLC to the collection.

Actually a Panerai and JLC in one watch.

Some quick iPhone pix.


One of the best movement inside of a Panerai.(IMO)







Really diggin' how it looks on me

Drew, good on you. I have "this close" to picking up that watch at one point, I just never warmed up to the "8 DAYS" text on the dial, but I highly suspect it one of those things like the DSSD - you don't bother with it after having it on the wrist for 24 yrs.

It is a very sexy piece! Congrats!

Oh yeah!!!!! That movement is so nice to wind, it is a shame you only need to do it every 9 days. Yeah, you'll get more than 8 for sure!

Beautiful. Usually I'm not a huge fan of the Rad, but that movement is spectacular.

Lovely piece.
I'd love a 190 to go with my JLC Reverso Grande 8 Day.
Guess I'll have to stick with my "humdrum" 287 for now.

Congrats on such a fine watch and BTW, great pics from your iPhone. Primo resolution, very sharp, just like the watch!
