I went to Templo Panerai today. The staff couldn't have been nicer! I took lots of bad i phone pics most of which didn't come out so good. I have to say if you ever get the chance, go visit. The staff is terrific!

What is the piece in the box? I've never seen that before.

It's a ships chronometer. A very important piece of navigation equipment if you use a sextant to navigate.

JF23 · 26 March 2010, 01:04 PM

Thanks for the pics.

Badfish179 · 26 March 2010, 09:02 PM

My pleasure! I enjoy the pics others post. As much as the watches, I enjoy pics from around the U.S. and other parts of the world. We really have a great group of members here.

Nice pics!

Are you thinking about Pam #2?

Badfish179 · 27 March 2010, 02:34 AM

No. Maybe next year. One nice watch a year. I wanted to go, look and take some photos for my friends on the panerai forum.

Trurolexer · 27 March 2010, 03:35 AM

Love the PIG figure.

I haven't been to a Panerai boutique but I look forward to the day I go to one.

ersnyder · 27 March 2010, 06:16 AM

Looks like a nice store, thanks for sharing!

I read it somewhere that a Panerai funded ship restoration will have one of those navigation clocks.

A1000 · 27 March 2010, 07:06 AM

I called by a month or so ago and received a warm welcome. Stock seemed to be a bit low but the staff were knowledgible and friendly.

Badfish...oh no...the bug has bit and its starting...the PAM bug
next you will be plotting a trip to the holy land Florence like Mik here...

Badfish179 · 27 March 2010, 10:08 AM

I have to admit Ocwatching, the thought has crossed my mind. One of my close friends is leaving tomorrow for Sicily. I had the chance to go but I stayed home. If he had been going anywhere near Florence I'd have been on my way!

They seemed to have lots of stock when I was there. One guy was doing a strap inventory and the girl was doing some paperwork for some inventory. It looked as if they were pretty busy. I have more photos of all of the watches they had on display but they look like straps with a lightbulb in the middle. Here's some more of what I took. I guess two of the three aren't too bad. I did all of them with my i phone.
