Ciao Bella: Kevin's Mare Nostrum

Hey Everyone,

My name is Nick; I'm new to the forum. I launched a blog on January 1st:

www.watchpatina.com

I write stories about people's relationship with their favorite watch: Been meaning to share with you all...Here's one of my latest about Kevin O'Dell (kevin5) and his incredible Mare Nostrum 5218-301/A

THANKS for having me
Nick

I have read all of the Watchpatina articles. I love the approach of telling the story behind not only the watch, but the owner and their history as well.

I have recently had the pleasure of meeting Kevin and he is one of the coolest collectors I have ever met. I am just beginning to dive into the Panerai world and he was gracious enough to provide good insight and support.

Thanks and keep on writing!

Man...thanks so much for being a loyal Watchpatina reader! I have a lot of stories in the works, so stay tuned! This project of telling the story about people and their watches has been an unreal experience so far...I have no plans to stop doing it...

I met Kevin at a GTG and then flew back to VA to meet with him after he was down to do a story. The nicest guy and a true Panerai lover and connoisseur. I've always had my eye on Panerai, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. He let me try on his PAM 338...I'm in love

Again...thanks for reading and welcoming me to the forum
I'll have a PAM one of these days...
