[Ruud Van Driver]

Look what I found in my Christmas stocking this year.

I need some opinions from you wisened Paneristi; is the empty slot her way of saying I can have one more Panerai?

Secondly, if that was your box what would be your final PAM? For me, it has to be a 1950 Luminor. I love them. I was distraught to find out this week that the 629 was a limited run and they're not available any more (sorry, but I don't what to buy from a grey or Chrono24). The 663 could be a good choice as could one of my favourites the 372. The 533 is a personal favourite, but I'm beginning to give in to Mrs Van D, Cru and my guy at OP Singapore that it's too similar to what I already have.

Thoughts?

Oh, wait, what's that you say? The red tissue paper next to the box in the third photo? Ah, well my friends, that is a masterpiece from John at Dangerous9. Unfortunately, Ruud Van D-head left his Panerai strap tools in Singapore so I can't fit it. I'm not one to bodge it with a pen and a rusty bread knife so you'll have to wait until I'm back in Singapore in a couple of days
