Oh my ......... what did I just do?!?!?!

[mfer]

One out......One in!

It all happened so fast. I'm still trying to figure it out.

I must say, I'm very happy with the result though.

INCOMING!!!!!! Shouldn't be too hard to figure out what I did.

I love the guessing games...

Old one out is ?
New one in is ?

Here was my collection.


So stoked!!!!!!

So you have a thing for gold hands? I don't blame you! :)

[B. Doggy]

I don't want to cheat, so I'll leave it to someone else. Seriously though, CONGRATS! Your PAM collection is really well rounded now IMHO. In fact, if I were into Panerai as much as you, I think those would be the exact pieces I'd choose. No joking either.

I'm so easy.

The 210 was my favorite for a very long time. For awhile I think I liked by 210 more than my 190, but eventually I gave into the power of the 190! So nice.

So, I REALLY switched up my collection!

Out with the 210 with gold hands, in with a MINT 232. I hardly had any sun left tonight and the pics are not great, but here are a few.

I'm in with this thing! Hopefully I'll have some time for better pics tomorrow.







Wrist shots will have to wait. I've only wore this thing for like 5 min. I'm still enjoying the newness of it all!

I love how when you take pics of a RAD you can almost always see your reflection. BAM!

[travisb]

Oh yeah!! 232 is such a sweet RAD.
Big congrats on that beauty!
How many hours will be spent staring at it through the weekend? ;-}

Thanks B and thanks for all the PM's with my endless rambling about wanting a 232. I think I have probable sent B about 20-30 PM's over the years telling him how I want a 232 so bad. Good man!

Now, about your next watch....I'll send you a PM!

Thanks Travis. I have a feeling you know how many hours what with just getting your 422. I've wanted this one for a LONG time.

[Watches24seven]

Awesome! Enjoy your new favorite watch!

[jamesr]

congrats Mik, the 232 is a keeper

[Bilk22]

you have assembled The 232 is on my radar, but may look for a minty 190 first.

Man this is a dreadfully addictive hobby. No wonder I stayed away from it for the last few years. Now I'm a Pam strap addict. Is there someone I can talk to about that? LOL

Meanwhile, there's an incoming tomorrow LOL Not a Pam though

[jvo300]

Congrats Mik! You've assembled a very enviable collection there. Move that non-SE Luminor out for a Cali and you are the Rad king!

Much appreciated Bruce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is not just my favorite watch, it is my FAVORITE watch by far.

Here are my watch in order. The periods between each shows how much more I like the one to the right over the one to the left. The more periods, the larger the spread.

111G...390.......190.............................. .................................................. ....................................232!

Of course, Rad lover here, but you get the idea!

Just do it slow and steady and enjoy them each on the way.

Also, don't forget the 249!!!!!

I like the way you think Jackson, but the 111G will have to stay in the stable. It is my daily (beater) if you will and oh yeah, I was married in it! It stays, but your idea of the 249 is a very good one.

Oh I started doing this a long time ago. I still have most of what I collected. Some are novelties but most are worthy. It's rather eclectic though. No concentration in one brand or another. I just got the bug again to add a few pieces. Don't worry I can put it down when I have to LOL The strap thing is interesting though

I like the Cal versions, but I don't think I can carry or pull off a 47mm and I'm not sure I want to. They're very pretty, but also very large - and probably too large for me.

[jvo300]

Awesome photo with that crownguard peeking out! So clearly the 111 is a keeper for life. Enjoy this time with your new favorite watch. I'm sure the Cali bug will come soon enough!

[DiverAsia]

Congratulations! The 232 is stunning. Love it.

Wear it in good health!

[wingku]

What a classic piece! Congrats!
