232 Incoming..

Well, it is a bit overdue news , but thanks to my Panerai friends in HK and Singapore I managed to finally get the watch in was looking for some time.

Watch is great and as I have shared already with my Singapore Risti brotherhood it is going to be the pilar of my collection.

My wife thinks I am crazy having another base model in addition to 000 and 610 , but this is what I love about it.

Besides it gives me a quite nice range 44, 45 and 47 mm to play with .

I will share more of thoughts and comments later once I will more get used to this beauty.

Some photos below.

Thank you everyone. It is a perfect watch and as I said maybe, maybe THE PAM to own at least for me.

Thanks. Have seen 3646 on last Paneristi in Hong Kong, just stunning.
So far have not managed to see 21, but must look spectacular.
