I DID IT , got my grail !!!!

[L-16610]

It's been more than 1 year since my hunt started. Couldn't get one at list, not that I was expecting one at list.
So from the beginning I was expecting to pay 2 times listprice

but that didn't work. I felt bad when I saw them for sale at 4 times the list price. 4 times

That was above my budget

The last 4 months I searched for one every day, and prices always were between 3 and 4 times listprice

That got me thinking ... If I ever wanted one, I would have to pay a lot more than I was hoping for .... damn 3.5 times the listprice

But, a grail is a grail and since they won't get cheaper I convinced myself to pay more
Than I got some luck, I was offered a 339 ( 47mm Radiomir Marina Militare 8 days composite), which is a limited sought after piece too
I got in contact with somebody who had MY GRAIL and I knew he wanted the 339 and could not get one

So we made a deal, I gave him my 339 and some cash, I got his watch


AND SINCE YESTERDAY I HAVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess you all know which extremely sought after Panerai I am talking about

yes, the one that was made for the die hard paneristi, VIP's, top clients and probably some lucky bastards. I didn't belong to any of these groups but got is anyway.

Such a gorgeous pieces ! not because some say it was made for a community but because IMO it was Panerai who made something special for their most faithful clients.
You know, something like Rolex would make 1 special edition submariner only for a very few members from well known sites and some of their most faithful own clients

Pictures ?

they will follow but be patient, I had to be patient a very, very long time
