Long time coming … 5218-201A
I should have posted this last month when I had received it but here you go … I’ve been wanting one of these for the past 5 years or so now. Cost me a few watches but here she is, an early 500 serial. It arrived w a Pre V calf strap & Dirk shark along w brass screwdriver wooden box and paperwork dated July 1994. Matching dial example along with plenty of patina, I really appreciate the vintage stuff as I grow older into this hobby. Enjoy !

Phenomenal score! If you don’t mind me asking, did you source yours from within the U.S.? I’ve been on the hunt for over a decade, most pieces are abroad and wayyy over priced.

Yes I did a trade w a well known Panerai seller here in the US. I have been on the hunt too since 2019 or so and you’re correct. Most listings are overseas which I would never have gone thru. The Non matching dials are stupid $$, I’m content with this beautiful patina example :)

Thank you everyone:) … you prob don’t see many of these floating around TRF members daily rotations. Kind of like obtaining a vintage Daytona in the Panerai world.
