Great looking watch Ken.

Very nice vintage Pam, Rolex movement to boot.

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!

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!

Such a nice time piece - I never knew Panerai used Rolex movements.
