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!

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... Nick Instagram @boxandpapers |
