<<< What's 3 digits and blue ... INCOMING >>>
Good afternoon all, yes a very good afternoon indeed. FedEx just dropped off my first ever Panerai.
A special thank you to Paul, Cru, Nicholas and Nick for the inspiration and the PM exchanges. This one's a beauty! The 690, one ive beem eyeballing since last July. Its lightweight compared to what I'm used to. The size isn't a problem and it wears super comfortable on my 7" flat shaped wrist! What I really love is the gorgeous blue dial! As many of you know I have a thing for blue dials and this one is truly spectacular! It changes in different light and gives off a beautiful cobalt sunburst blue color ... very hard to describe but it gorgeous, (now I know what you're talking about Paul). This is the first handwound watch I've ever owned and I was a bit reluctant at first but I think I'll delevop a bond with this one! I'd also like to say a special thank you to the forums most excellent DSW. It was a pleasure dealing with you sir!  Thanks again to all you enablers. Cheers all!

Oh I figured as much! I just don't get much FaceTime with panerai so it seems an ideal spot to check a few out without being pressured to buy.

yes it's pretty low key. IWC is right around the corner, if anything there interests you. I tried on the big pilot while there. A beautiful piece but it didn't fit my wrist shape whatsoever. |

Absolutely stunning, Brian! Now THAT is what I am talking about. Those blue dials are amazing and give the Rolex sunburst a real run for their money. Huge congrats on a most awesome Pam, very well done my friend
Cru is gonna need a bucket under his chin when he sees these pictures
