GRAIL PANERAI JUST ARRIVED!!!

Post by cpd c63 » Wed Dec 12, 2012 11:32 pm

Picked this beauty up and got a great deal!!! It just arrived today...I'm in LOVE!. It has taken me about 5 years to build up to this grail piece, but the wait was worth it...Matt already got word, but I wanted to share (I hope to become more active on the forums...good group of guys here...several of whom I've already sold stuff to or bought stuff from haha)...

So I figured I'd start by posting some quick pics...I'll be posting more pics tomorrow...I've got one strap on the way (custom gustav ammo) and another made out of a golden tan gun holster in the works from Red 12...

Had to sell my 243J to Matt and sell of my Helson and Oris Carlos Coste Cenote, but it was worth it, since I can acquire the Helson again soon...

Enjoy the quick pics...

Thanks fellas :)

I'm not a fan either, and was settled on the 233, but after being scammed the first time trying to buy the 233, and then receiving one with movement issues after that (got my money back on both occasions)...I figured I'd give this one a shot (Got a killer deal for it too, so I couldn't pass it up)...I'm about to send you a PM for a strap idea BTW Drew

Dude that is some kind of patience, right there. Congrats! That is a killer piece. A busier dial than most other PAMs but definitely not as busy as it could look with those complications. Wrist shots when you get a chance. Curious about the size of that watch and the dial.

Five years!? That's patience, man. Well done.

I like chronos and I like GMT complications, so I definitely like this one. The eight-day power reserve and column wheel mechanism are fantastic, and it looks great, too. That's one hell of a cool watch.

This is one for the ages. CONGRATS!

That's one hot PAM. Congrats. Can't wait to see the new straps. I'm in strap shopping mode myself for my 243. Perhaps some of yours will inspire me.
