I did acquire my Panerai LOGO.

We had just received some new snow, so the drive downtown was fun

Here it is, never been on a wrist yet.

Right out of the box, onto my wrist. This did take me almost a day to put on. Had a tiny bit of buyers remores, but that has since subsided & I have now put on my Crazy Horse strap. Pics to follow.

madformac · 3 December 2006, 05:41 AM

Congratulations John!

That's a great watch and with the Crazy Horse on, it then becomes truly stunning. Gregs straps are awesome.

Wear it in good health.

padi56 · 3 December 2006, 05:42 AM

Very nice new watch mate wear it in good health,you can keep the snow though.

JJ Irani · 3 December 2006, 05:43 AM

Well done, John!! That's a cracker!!

Prince · 3 December 2006, 06:44 AM

Congrats!! Enjoy and wear in the best of health!

mrbieler · 3 December 2006, 06:55 AM

Very nice pick up!

Rto · 3 December 2006, 06:57 AM

Congrats John!

A must for a Panerai lover.

Rockrolex · 3 December 2006, 07:05 AM

Congrats on the new acquisition, John. At first I thought there was a faint subdial at 7:00. Then I realized it was the reflection of the camera lens. Don't scare me like that.

Rodentman · 3 December 2006, 07:12 AM

Well, we made it thru Nov with no snow, and no new watches. I am sure both conditions will be subject to change.

Spencer · 3 December 2006, 07:29 AM

Me likey!

Lol-x · 3 December 2006, 08:17 AM

Congrats on that new Panerai, looks very nice.
The plain dial is a classic, you must be very happy.
The warm satisfaction should be some compensation for the cold weather :)

djemmtee · 3 December 2006, 08:35 AM

beauty!

hutchman · 3 December 2006, 11:00 AM

Buyers remorse John? Definately one of my favourites.

Launch Mini · 3 December 2006, 12:58 PM

It is too one of my favourites. I have had my eye on this one for a long time.
I was hoping to have moved one or two before this one showed up.
All is good now. Thanks to support from some Cdn TRF's, I now have a new plan.

LOL, details to follow.

ps I was looking at "my new plan" already today at my AD

astcell · 3 December 2006, 05:17 PM

VERY NICE!

This is a good thread, what did YOU do while TRF was closed? Did you find out that you have other bookmarks that you have not checked out in a while? Did you find out all those links were dead?

I've been a little busy here and it is nice to be back.

The PX came out with another coupon, this time 25% off. I passed on the Omega Pro and instead got a Macbook Pro for $500 off. I still want the Omega but I intend it to be a gift for a friend. He can wait until next time.

I am also working with a gentleman to purchase an Enigma. I have always wanted one of these WWII items and thanks to the Internet I can search high and low in a matter of clicks.

The Doha Games are in progress, but I was born deficient of the sports gene so I'll just go back to the mall and look at watches....

mailman · 3 December 2006, 08:47 PM

You mean you didn't get banned?

Actually, you're just Phase I of plan B. As far as I can tell, there's at least two more phases to complete after you.

If anyone was going to get banned, it would be the guy I was defending, not me.

In any case, I am the key to plan B.

That's completely true.

Um, I think Phase I of Plan B was to cover off the Logo... Phase II is to move the other two and Phase III is the um, new acquisition. While integral to the plan, I wouldn't say you're the 'key'.

BTW John... is that Grouse Mountain in the backdrop of your first pic? Looks like ski runs carved into the mountain.
