mini Dallas GTG

I met Vijay (Yetibiker), Mike Abelman (Mod on the Panerai forum) and a few other Panerai guys in Dallas for a few beers last night. Saw Vijay's gorgeous (DRSD) and some very cool Panerais - got to show off my new Daytona. I am concerned about Vijjay - he is moving to the dark side of Panerai
The copper colored Panerai in the middle is the new hot reference (dont know the #) - the head is copper and designed to quickly patina.
The Daytona and DRSD look small compared to the Panerai.

Nice Russ--don't worry to much about Vijay though as I know what he has hidden--and I am not telling! Wish I could have been there! Thanks for sharing--would love to see more pics!

Guys - I was a very poor photographer - I only took watch photos
I had a large dose of Panerai blood infused into me that night - the Paneria guys are PASSIONATE about their community. Very cool.

I am under strict orders not to share info on the watch without the caseback. It is special - I will let the owner unveil in due time....
