Look what i found ........
As a part of our Hobby we are always looking for that special model that we fancy, for me it was the 249 that was on my wish list for quite a while. This model always had something special, the 1st time I laid eyes on it i was not overly impressed, and the numerical layout did not appeal to much to me. however on the other side it did set it apart and made it a model that simply was very recognizable, and i did like the history behind the original 3646 Cali what this finally is a reproduction off of course, with some small “changes” off course. As the non Rolex movement for one
  the non solid case back and having Panerai references stamped on the case back. However it never fully let go,and the Cali grew more and more on me, especially the domed glass (plexi) and the patina liked colored Luminova really started to appeal to me, and it was hard to find a matching opponent for the 127 as well, and I noted I started to appreciate the historic models more and more, and so the search begun…... And ended when I got a response from one other Dutch collector , who had one ( I should say 2.!! Quite a luxury problem) with one completely new and in the stickers still …. I did not expect to be so lucky .. afterall its a 2006 SE And as you can guess, this one moved from owner quite rapid, and I’m utterly happy to finally managed to have the Cali in the collection, Pix are not of great quality , as it was dark already and the flash does not do it any good. Ill follow up with same more later in daylight. Now a strap

Awesome!!! Great Catch, Buddy!!! For the strap, try ammo like Kev (high recomended), Ted Su or Micah.
Just my 2 cents. |
