Panerai over lunch
I'm currently in British Columbia, Canada and I had an opportunity to have lunch with John, aka Launch Mini, in Vancouver. He was kind enough to bring me some of his Panerais for me to look at. So here are some photos that I took, although they don't do justice on the beauty of them.
![]() ![]() Here's a photo of John and I that the waitress took. She must had a thing for John since he was much more in focus than I am. ![]() ![]() While waiting for John, I had to keep myself occupy with the hostess. ![]() ![]() |

If you guys would have been wearing a Rolex or Ulysse Nardin, she might have given you her phone number!

Check out you guys! Between the watches and the waitress and the hostess....it's all deadly. Sounds like a successful outing!

Vu, pardon my total ignorance of Panerai watches, but what is the name of the black faced watch with the double crown in the main picture you have posted ?....a total stunner !
Is it a "classic" ie no longer available, or can it still be purchased BNIB ? And if still available, what would the cost be ? (you will probably tell me it hasnt been produced for 30 years and costs a fortune....but thats the price you pay when you are trying to find out new things.....and I dont mind appearing a bit thick !) |

THe double crown is a PAM 98.
Not 100% sure of the cost, but around $8000 and is still available if you can find them.

Gorgeous watch indeed, did a quick check on eBay, and found this preowned Pam 98 beauty - http://cgi.ebay.ca/Panerai-Pam-98-Ra...QQcmdZViewItem
