Back in the Italian Club - Panerai 104J

Post by jad3703 » Fri Jun 07, 2013 6:26 pm

Well, Gordo did the deal tonight down in Montreal, picking up my PAM 104J. The 104 just clicks for me, checking all of the boxes that I want in a PAM and that the first one (024) did not do quite so well (for me, anyway). And being a solid fellow WIS, he sent me some pics right away.

Happy, Happy, Happy.

The suspense was worth the wait. Very, very nice. Quality over quantity is always a good move. Congrats on a great acquisition.

Thanks, Drew and Paul. Going to be a tough wait until Monday when Gordo gets back.

Now going to figure out some straps in brown leather ... :think:

Exactly, Wayne. Finally get my head around that axiom on Monday night and then the fire sale started. And from there, the synchronicity of desire and availability was perfect.

Congrats! :thumbsup: By far, my favorite brand. It's hard not to love the simple Luminor case, and the straps, oh my.....

Thanks, Gents. Still kind of surreal that this has all occurred within the last 72 hours.

Now I need to figure out a couple of leather straps. Any suggestions?

Nice, James! Congrats.

I picked up a new GSD Olivio that I'm not feeling (tad too long). Will hit you up to see if you want it. I feel like I got a good price on it.
