Visit to NYC Panerai boutique and 351

[psv]

I'm in NYC on business and I had the opportunity to swing by the Panerai boutique in New York and finally got to meet Sharif in person (very kind and service minded). More importantly I went to finally check out the 351 in person, as well as how it would look on a Jules Verne/JV OEM strap. Wow!!! I'm been a bit sour on Panerai for some time, but this is truly an elegant piece with a very attractive mix between sport and elegance.

I'm going to try to rearrange a watch I bought last week from a AD, and have yet to wear as I'm on travel, to see if I can trade it for a 351.

Big congrats to any TRF brother who managed to pick this piece up. Truly gorgeous!
