Finally got around to posting...AP Pickup
Well, not sure if many of the regular AP guys here on TRF know, I caught the Panerai bug BAD over the last couple of years
Started with the 312, Then the 190, Then I got the 249 and 416/413. While I loved the 249, it really didn't sing to me as much as I thought! Loved the watch off my wrist but on my wrist, it just didn't do it. Found a risti that bought it off of me and I was on the hunt again. Well, many other WIS have told me to try APs and while I thought about it, the ROO Chronos never did anything for me. But when AP released the Diver last year, it caught my attention but I was still in the PAM hunt... Well, thanks to our man Oscar (Bodybump), I dove in (pun intended): Sitting at the door on a Saturday morning waiting for the FedEx man..he must have thought I was weird to take a photo of his truck.. it took a bit of work to open the hermetically sealed box...nice one Oscar ANOTHER!! Finally! WHAT!! Oscar plastic wrapped the watch!! The Thank You note made it a bit better...LOL But nice touch Oscar FINALLY!!! two Divers... THANK You Oscar for putting up with my offline messages/text/phone calls. Smooth as silk transaction and a great piece. I am glad I went AP and I have a feeling this will not be my last... Thanks for reading! Phil
