Icon10 Finally scratched the itch.... with 2 hands!



following this thread..
http://www.rolexforums.com/showthrea...82#post2330782
(slow day hey... )

after a few unsuccessful 210 attempts in the past, i have finally scratched the itch.... and it feels great.


my new AD contact found a BNIB M serial PAM210 in their inventory and the deposit went down straight away.

it got transferred and arrived today, went in this arvo to pick it up. to my surprise, he also brought in a 183... tried it on, didnt quite like it. so the 210 it is.

im loving it. love the simple Panerai sandwich dial :D


here are some Q&Ds...








wrist shot



more pix later :rocker:


yes, Rich at Toshi Straps already has my designs, cant wait

Wear it in good health

Looks great - enjoy

BTW - they should ban pictures on this forum - they may be free to look at, but they end up costing a fortune
