i can understand why!

Norm, the Rolexs must be feeling lonely!

By the way nice watches!

John

Why would you wear any other watch when you have those two!!!!

They are both SPECTACULAR!!!!!

P.s.
The 249 is similar to the 210 except for the case back and the 249 is limited production, is that correct?

Shade · 29 June 2011, 12:48 AM

Thanks Cru!

John, them Rolexes still get wrist time.. Around once a week on rotation when they are not in the box.. Heehehehe..

Nice collection you have mate!

Thanks barry, the 249 is the california dial with domed plexi glass. The one I pictured there is the 232, and yes very similiar to the 210.. But a little larger in size - 47mm, gold hands, tobacco dial, and cream lettering.

Meanwhile the 249 is nothing similar to the 210.

Oops

Anyway Thanks for the info.

Wow! Lovely combo and love that JV big time -- got a great patina on it...

ocwatching · 29 June 2011, 01:31 AM

two of the best PAMs around...
my usual pieces are 312 and 190..

love your collection Norman! I need to get me a Lange Moon phase or world timer...

subtona · 29 June 2011, 01:58 AM

great pair....

could you articulate your opinion of the different cases/styles...
ie. luminor vs radiomir?

im trying to understand them a bit more

strengths vs weaknesses if you will?

nauticajoe · 29 June 2011, 02:07 AM

Awesome choices Norman!

akira23 · 29 June 2011, 02:27 AM

Nice!

Shade · 29 June 2011, 02:38 AM

Thanks guys...

Subtona.. As for my personal comparison between two different cases.. Let me do a mini review of that on thursday, I think there are a few things to say. But in short, the radiomir is always the more comfortable one despite the size..

cool thanks for response ... looking forward to review

as my appreciation for panerai grows the radiomir seems to be getting louder.

Great Pair Norm, Congrats.

Shade · 29 June 2011, 10:59 AM

Thanks Dan, havent seen you in the dark side section for a while!

mfer · 29 June 2011, 11:03 AM

Incredible for sure. Can't believe you don't wear that 249 as much. I'll give it a good home if you need too! :-)

Nica64 · 29 June 2011, 12:02 PM

Nice pair!!

Shade · 29 June 2011, 02:18 PM

Thanks Nica!

Mik, I always get fidgety when I wear the 249, due to the plexi that is quite easy to scratch. I only wear it to gatherings and such.. Hhehehe..
