Thanks Mark...I appreciate that...I think its time to invest in a light box...take all new pics...

I know you have been wanting this one awhile...CONGRATS!

How cool are those boxes?

Does your have that new SPRING bar system instead of screws?

I'm sure the bracelet will NEVER come off anyway!

ENJOY that bad boy!

Congratulations - top line kit that!

Wear it in good health!!

Thank you very much Alan...Yeah this has been on my radar for a long time...I am really excited I was able to find it and pick it up. Boxes are awesome...Yes it does have the new spring bar system and is very easy to change out. He also gave me a brown aligator or croc brown leather strap.

....We taken over... Thank you much appreciated..

There is no question to me (my personal opinion) that the Pan's look 1 MILLION times better on the bracelet like you got. That watch is truly beautiful and will be the gem of your collection for a long time to come.
Really happy for you. Congrats again.

Thanks James..Been on the trail of this bad boy for a while and glad i was able to snag it.

WOW - Can't imagine what it feels like to receive one of these.
Congratulations!

CONGRATULATIONS! Beautiful timepiece. I think your pics are GREAT! Sometimes all you have to do is take more.....Enjoyed seeing your new acquisition. Many wrist hour wishes to you!

Congrats on a great watch....always nice when somebody picks up something truely special.

Thanks guys I really appreciate it...it will get plenty of wrist time..

Just an incredible timepiece, Jack! I can see getting 200% of your money back in pure enjoyment!

BTW: your pics are great!

The feeling won't wear off for a while...

...every time I look in my box I go "holy crap, I have a PANERAI!"

Nice panerai.Heres some info that makes it much sweeter.some might miss this.Notice that the deployant is stamped swiss made?That means that 100% of the bracelet was made in Switzerland.every part on your watch is swiss except maybe the hands which could be German.This tidbit was pointed out awhile ago when talking with an omega rep.He said that if it says omega sa on the bracelet then it was made in one of swatches companies that makes bracelets but if its stamped with just stainless steel, its asian sourced like the new ploprof mesh that I declined on because for 800.00, its not swiss.somewhere inside your panerai is also stamped swiss made for the case also.So you did get your monies worth.Congrats.

Does this mean the sponge bob watch is available???? Awesome watch brother you and your family wll enjoy that piece for many, many years! Makes me feeling kinda silly modding a MM at the moment!

Now that`s a serious piece Congratulations! I wish Panerai`s looked that good on my wrist
Dont see them too often on the metal bracelet either.

are you fing kidding me???

So it takes at least a $5000 watch to bring Eric out?

Interesting info. So let me ask you a question. I just checked the new Oris bracelet and it is stamped Stainless Steel and then Oris (on the inside of the bracelet clasp). It says Oris 0782401PEB-1 Stainless Steel. Does this mean my bracelet, which is still really nice, heavy, solid, etc - is Asian?

This one gets a Yowza ! What a stunning watch Jack !
It's always FUN staring at these types of watches. Soaking up everything
about them, and enjoying the design, as well as workmanship. I'm in awe
of the dial on this watch. Those markers and numbers are SO good, it's not
even funny ! Also like the hash marks and numbers on the outer part of the
dial. Cool hands, OUTSTANDING case and bracelet !..WOW ! This watch has
it ALL !!!! Congrats to you and NICE photos ! Enjoy !

Thanks Brutha...its very much appreciated...gotta hand it to Panerai they put out quality craftsmanship all the way...I also love the way you set the time, date and the gmt..

Jack, I was looking at your Panerai again and I just keep thinking that thing is absolutely friggin' beautiful!! You are in good shape with that baby! I love the GMT but it looks stunning on the bracelet! I'm NOT a strap guy so a bracelet is all I'll do. This works so well and I'm VERY happy for you because i know you've wanted that one for a looooooong time. It's nice to finally snag a watch isn't it?? Well, CONGRATS and I hope you enjoy the hell out of that thing!

What? All that time spent at Torneau, and that's the watch you buy???



























Sweet. Wear it in great health, Jack.
