Dilema???

[Launch Mini]

You guys all know I like my Panerai's.
Well, Cindy ( my wife ), also has her 40 mm white dial auto, with 4 straps so far.
She is left handed.
For years we have been looking for a "left handed" watch for her.
Well my AD calls me to let me know the 219 arrived this afternoon and I can drop by and pick it up, if I want.:thinking:
Do I just buy it & suprise her or talk this one over & see if she wants another Pannie for her collection?:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

For the kicker, there is only a production of 200 units of this watch/year.
It is a black dial, base with cut out numbers. Very sweet watch.

Tough call :thinking: Does Cindy want another Panny? Especially one at 44mm?

[Launch Mini]

She used to wear my "ghost" all the time, until she got her 40 mm.

Heck I'd buy it!:thumbsup: She'll love it!
OK..maybe I'm not the best person to give advice.:chuckle: :chuckle:

[dman]

Buy it, save it and give it too her for Christmas. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I used to own one of those, LOL! :chuckle:

You know me better than that, You really think I could just leave the box unopened for the next 69 days.
I can't even buy christmas presents in Dec & wait.:rofl:

Hey dude, it is her present, give her the option!! :thumbsup:

[astcell]

wrap it up and say it is a gift she can open in 69 days, but if she opens it now she can "count the seconds" until the time, hint hint! :>

[Launch Mini]

Small problem on "count the seconds".:banghead:
This one is like my Radiomir. NO seconds hand.:rofl:

[Otis]

DO IT!!! DO IT!!!!!

Oh, I think I forgot to say..... DO IT! :chuckle: :chuckle:

That's just what the world needs. More women wearing large men's watches. So, if you can do your part to make the world a better place I really encourage it! :rofl: :rofl:

[mailman]

Do it. Just think of how you'll benefit from it :naughty: :smokin:

[Launch Mini]

Called the AD, put it on hold.
I will make the trip at lunch tomorrow.

[Rto]

Go for it, John! It is going to be a nice surprise!:cheers:

[amanda]

One of only 200 made a year, I say go for it... you wont see to many opportunities to acquire another any time soon.

[Rockrolex]

Let me join the chorus and say Go for it, John. Who knows when the opportunity will present itself again.

If she doesn't want it, I would think there's a market for it out there in the Panerai universe.

[Launch Mini]

I've already checked the secondary market, Would have no problem moving it.
I have a very good feeling she will love it, so not likely it will be sold.
How do I sneak this one to Toronto at the beginning of next month? LOL

Don't give it to her until you get back from TO. :dummy: :dummy:

Why do I have to do all the thinking around this place. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

[JJ Irani]

Do it, John. Tell her you'll wind the watch for her!! :chuckle: :chuckle:

[Launch Mini]

The eagle has landed. Hopefully pictures to follow.
It is really wierd to see a watch with the crown on the "wrong" side.:thinking:

Beauty! Can't wait to see the pics, eh?! :cheers:

You go boy :thumbsup: :chuckle: She's going to love it :agree: :cheers:

[madformac]

Go for it. It would make a great xmas gift. :thumbsup:

Just remember.. A Panerai is for life, not just for Christmas :chuckle:


After 2 months with my 104 I lost my strap virginity today. Got a tan Greg strap this morning in the post. :cheers:

[Launch Mini]

I know what you mean about the straps. I was pretty static for a while, now the bug has caught me. I am drooling over some of those straps out there. Love Atomics Gabo.
Wife has more strap options than I do already

[mailman]

Is there something you're hiding from us John? :rofl: :rofl: :justkiddi :banme:


BTW, congrats on the watch. :clap: :thumbsup: :cheers:

Greg makes a beautiful strap. Which one did you get and where are the pix?

I got the tan unstitched strap John.

I love the simplicity of the look and also the single keeper. After getting used to wearing the PAM gator strap on a deployant this thing is huge! I love it though. Those pre V buckles are massive. :chuckle:

I must say thanks to Simon on Paneristi because he sold this to me for the proceeds to go to a UK childrens hospital which I was more than happy to donate to.

I'll try and get some pics later tonight.. :cheers:
