I bought from a great Risti who let this fellow go as he has other commitments few mths ago.
I luv this watch but could wear it as my work do not allow for it.
Still no chance to wear it.
I just took it out and lay it on the table to admire once or twice per week.
Cheers.

Glad u like it. Thanks for your kind compliments.
Really, I am still not good in photo taking as I still do not know how to use flash to prevent domed or curve crystal from reflecting too much.
Cheers.

Those pics are indeed beautiful, but why would such a famous brand not have the product name on the dial?

Boss, that's why many considered it the real Panerai

As the vintage pre WW2, WW2 & post WW2 (1950) Panerais are made for commandos and they have no brand imprints on the dial to their ensure identity are kept secret if they are found or caught.

When they are caught, investigation will only find Rolex movements inside and no one can attack Switzerland or UK....

it a very nice watch. I have it for just a month but have to let it go cause i need the money to buy other watches. What to do? not loaded, or else can keep this nice piece. I think it the only pam that does not have the brand on the dial. But this model price have been dropping alot. From about 20kSGD plus 1 yr ago to now 16kSGD can get a BNIB.
