Wow

, if only I had the money

They are magnificent

Launch Mini · 24 February 2006, 04:03 PM

Nice, but not even if I had the money.
Price doesn't always ensure satisfaction.

But then I never spent $134,000 on a couple watches.

JJ Irani · 24 February 2006, 04:11 PM

There are guys out there who could cough up that kinda dough in a matter of minutes!!

All of them except the dirty cops.

Just shake down some drug dealers this weekend, you know protection money. Then you'll have enough

RobDad · 24 February 2006, 10:11 PM

Fugly - there, I said it. Big, clunky, unwearable, interesting to someone who collects militaria but not that interesting to me! Can't help thinking the whole Panerai thing is Emperors new clothes

I just coughed up something but it ain't no dough, though

I think the price may be a tad on the high side, but that's not knowing if there's a trail to the owner, listing original owner, how long he had it, etc. Then the price is okay.

Consider that last fall at an auction of vintage Panera (Christie's??) that watch went for about US$75,000... just for the watch. There was also an Egyptian navy Panny (very low production numbers) that went for close to $90,000...

There is a market for this stuff, but it's either museums or high-end collectors (and believe me, there's lots of them out there who can drop that kinda coin on that stuff like it's pocket change).

Since I live in a very Italian neighborhood, I still have hopes I'll find one of these watches or dive instruments at a garage sale for a song. Then again... maybe pigs will fly outta my butt too.

You do realise, of course, that they can start with the flapping of wings only after they have emerged gasping for fresh air!!

Craig, I put the money in a brown evelope & mailed it off to you today. It's Canadian money though, all cash.

Let me know when you get it.

I have a client who collects classic cars. Every year he heads down to Barrett-Jackson.
I was actually in his "garage" last week.

OMG, some nice cars,including 2 - '57 Chev's, 2- '58 Impala Conv, '62 conv Impala, a couple Nash's, Merc Cruiser, .......

The Seiko's are in the mail, John

As long as your mailmen aren't as slow as Paul, you should get them soon.

The car show is in town now

There's a 68 Shelby GT500 going for a mere $95,000

believe me, it's breath taking

These cars are amazing

Every time I walk through there I start drooling

Launch Mini · 25 February 2006, 03:15 AM

We could all chip in a few grand, then share the watches. Heck there are two of them, so every couple months we would get to wear one of them.
Who's in?

I saw this on another forum, very interesting but out of this world overpriced, IMHO.

Although like most Pannies, you would not see many or any others like that on the wrists of people, unlike certain other brands.

Relax, I was thinking Timex and Casio.
