Pam 578

I poked my nose into the OP boutique today. Haven't been in for about six weeks so it was rude not to.

The manager brought out a 578 to show me.

Check out the tourbillon at the ten o'clock position

No Cru, I didn't

I was going to buy one but it's only water resistant to 100 metres.

I wish I could afford to consider it on interest free over ten years, Ian!

It really is a sight to behold. The tourbillon movement is amazing, it was mesmerising watching that thingy do its thing.

It looks amazing and I suspect much better in the flesh. Now I just need to win the Euro millions lotto tonight.

It's a fabulous piece of engineering but I will stick to looking at a 560 perhaps, I just love the simplicity of it compared to the complexity of this one. However it's stunning none the less!

I didn't even touch it Nick, never mind take it home! It was already sold so I didn't ask to try it on as a courtesy to the owner. At that price, I didn't want to handle it

Maybe 25 years would be more realistic

'Thingy' is such a cool and versatile word. Try it, you'll see what I mean

Very nice Paul. I breezed into the Harrods Panerai mini-boutique last weekend, but no such exotica on display.

Looks great indeed.

Had a chance to try the same model when I dropped my 162 for quick SPA before holidays.

It is really amazing.

Now need to work harder and save more £££
