nauticajoe · 12 July 2011, 08:49 PM

WOW! She's a beauty Ken!

johnbeth · 12 July 2011, 08:50 PM

Beauty!

dddrees · 12 July 2011, 08:54 PM

Great looking watch Ken.

Very nice vintage Pam, Rolex movement to boot.

Cru Jones · 12 July 2011, 09:31 PM

Stunning!!

swatty · 12 July 2011, 09:34 PM

Amazing

HL65 · 12 July 2011, 09:55 PM

She is indeed...too bad she isn't mine!

She belongs to a buddy who is a big Panerai collector. Just wanted to share her with my friends here as we don't get to see many of these! Have a great day all!

heart82 · 12 July 2011, 10:02 PM

A very beautiful history of Panerai!

karmatp · 12 July 2011, 11:28 PM

Six figures right there, amazing.

mfer · 12 July 2011, 11:56 PM

That dial is amazing. Really nice to have the white area mint like that. On many of those vintage pieces that is the first thing to fall out.

Lovely!

tkc324 · 13 July 2011, 12:04 AM

Wow... very nice.

fc3s2k · 13 July 2011, 12:31 AM

A beautiful hybrid!!
Panerai with a Rolex movement
And radiomir with a luminor case w/o crown guards
Very pretty!!

HL65 · 13 July 2011, 12:46 AM

And the Brevet big crown! Super rare combo and amazing mint example in one of the best collectors private collections that I know of anywhere...

Shade · 13 July 2011, 10:24 AM

Who do I have to kill to get one of those? Awesome...

HL65 · 14 July 2011, 08:53 AM

She even looks pretty cool on the wrist...

HL65 · 20 July 2011, 12:01 PM

Thanks-- now that she is mine I can say that!! Love her and very thankful to have her now in my collection!! The history and provenance is super cool!! Cheers...

Ps-- Thanks Dan F. for making it possible and Morgan K. as well!!

sleddog · 20 July 2011, 12:05 PM

It's a rare bird you got there Ken....

Should fit in nicely with the stella collection you have!

HL65 · 20 July 2011, 07:41 PM

Thanks Rob my friend!! Very excited to have gotten her!! Amazing how well preserved she is at 60 years old-and keeps perfect time too...Crazy.

rolexsweep · 20 July 2011, 09:33 PM

TSW · 20 July 2011, 09:39 PM
