Finally pulled the trigger!
After a fairly long search I picked up my first Panerai: a 219! I've been hoping to own a Destro for a while now so I'm pretty stoked about this one. Sorry no pics yet. I'll have the watch in exactly one week and I'll be sure to post some pics then!

So beautiful. I still remember my second Pam (was 219). And I still remember its special number (J 400/400). I missed it ...

Congratulations.

Thanks so much guys! I'm really enjoying this one. I think another destro is in order very soon! This time a 44mm luminor marina of some sort or a 123!

Great watch, I am also trying to get a destro, hoping to exchange my 028 for the 026, destro and DLC, it should be the good completion for my 233 and 82, 3 different materials.
