I did acquire my Panerai LOGO.

We had just received some new snow, so the drive downtown was fun

Here it is, never been on a wrist yet.

Right out of the box, onto my wrist. This did take me almost a day to put on. Had a tiny bit of buyers remores, but that has since subsided & I have now put on my Crazy Horse strap. Pics to follow.

Congratulations John! :cheers:

That's a great watch and with the Crazy Horse on, it then becomes truly stunning. Gregs straps are awesome.

Wear it in good health. :thumbsup:

[mrbieler]

Very nice pick up!

[Rto]

Congrats John! :cheers: A must for a Panerai lover.:thumbsup:

[Rockrolex]

Congrats on the new acquisition, John. At first I thought there was a faint subdial at 7:00. Then I realized it was the reflection of the camera lens. Don't scare me like that. :lol: :lol:

[Rodentman]

Well, we made it thru Nov with no snow, and no new watches. I am sure both conditions will be subject to change.

[Spencer]

Me likey!

[Lol-x]

Congrats on that new Panerai, looks very nice.
The plain dial is a classic, you must be very happy.
The warm satisfaction should be some compensation for the cold weather :)

[djemmtee]

beauty!

[hutchman]

Buyers remorse John? Definately one of my favourites.

[Launch Mini]

It is too one of my favourites. I have had my eye on this one for a long time.
I was hoping to have moved one or two before this one showed up.
All is good now. Thanks to support from some Cdn TRF's, I now have a new plan. :banghead: :banghead:
LOL, details to follow.:rofl:
ps I was looking at "my new plan" already today at my AD:agree:

[astcell]

VERY NICE!

This is a good thread, what did YOU do while TRF was closed? Did you find out that you have other bookmarks that you have not checked out in a while? Did you find out all those links were dead?

I've been a little busy here and it is nice to be back.

The PX came out with another coupon, this time 25% off. I passed on the Omega Pro and instead got a Macbook Pro for $500 off. I still want the Omega but I intend it to be a gift for a friend. He can wait until next time.

I am also working with a gentleman to purchase an Enigma. I have always wanted one of these WWII items and thanks to the Internet I can search high and low in a matter of clicks.

The Doha Games are in progress, but I was born deficient of the sports gene so I'll just go back to the mall and look at watches.... :clap:

[mailman]

Very nice watch John :thumbsup: Enjoy it in the best of health pal :cheers:

[Launch Mini]

Plan "B" , Phase I is under way,
Fed Ex has left the building.....

Ahem.....I will remind you that "Plan B" as I am apparently now known as, can read all these threads! :dummy: :banghead:

You mean you didn't get banned?
















:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Actually, you're just Phase I of plan B. As far as I can tell, there's at least two more phases to complete after you.

If anyone was going to get banned, it would be the guy I was defending, not me. :chuckle:

In any case, I am the key to plan B. :agree:

That's completely true. :rofl:


In any case, I am the key to plan B. :agree:

Um, I think Phase I of Plan B was to cover off the Logo... Phase II is to move the other two and Phase III is the um, new acquisition. While integral to the plan, I wouldn't say you're the 'key'. :dummy: :rofl:

[dman]

Winner winner chicken dinner!! The collection is world class my friend. :thumbsup:

[Atomic]

Winner winner chicken dinner!!

LMAO, where do you come up with these sayings?

BTW John... is that Grouse Mountain in the backdrop of your first pic? Looks like ski runs carved into the mountain.

[dman]

Way too much free time on my hands? :chuckle:

[Atomic]

Way too much free time on my hands? :chuckle:

LOL, obviously! Never fails to crack me up, though.

[Launch Mini]

That is Grouse in the Picture.
On the left is the easy run, the right are the better runs.
For the life of me, I can't recall the names of the runs.
Left = The Cut
Right, Purgatory, Blue Berry , and something else.
12 hours at the office & I'm fried

One of these days...

[Launch Mini]

THere is a Restaurant up there, that overlooks the City of Vancouver, The Ocean & on a clear day, you can See Vancouver Island & the US.
WIcked wicked view.
I used to Mtn bike UP to the top when I was riding. There are some really gnarly trails on the lower portion too.

This reads like a mystery novel. When do we get the whole story??

:thinking: :thinking:

Phase I - Sell the 104 or 16610
Phase II - Aquire the Logo 000 ( this happened before phase I though)
Phase III - Al enquired about the 210 . Out of left field :thinking: Was not part of master plan
Phase IV - Roll around in my proceeds before..
Phase V - Acquire a 190 or 231 or ???

For Phase III. see posts From Holly Cole

And the 000, nice.
