My first Panerai - An Object of Italian Design
Hello Forum members!
Over these past 3 or 4 weeks my son's, who both have Panerai 111 timepieces, have given me the bug to buy my first Panerai! I frequently travel to Firenze on business and unfortunately it never occurred to me that I could have visited the original site of where Panerai started. During a recent trip to France, a co-worker had on a GMT that he bought years ago before they became popular when he was working at my company's manufacturing site in Firenze. That event, coupled with my son's influence, I ended up buying the model 512 you see pictured in this post, along with my other Italian prized toy. |

512 is a great choice, congrats!
Sorry to say that I can't see any of your photos in either of your threads. |

Can't see photos either, but I once had a 512, and it wore very well. Congrats!

Let us know if you decide to go for it and what you end up getting. Per your email thread, I’ve been looking and might be a bit of a challenge, but then again there is always the thrill of the hunt! |

Great looking watch
The Dukes not too shabby either. I miss my 996 and the wonderful sound of a bag of spanners rattling on tickover. |
