chicago trip

I was there on Saturday right downtown. Stopped at CD Peacock's and Tournea.

Both had Panerai. First I've ever seen of these watches in person. I never understood, and now I do.

My next watch will NOT be a Rolex.

Either you get it or you don't.... obviously you now get it.

Can't wait to see what it'll be.

Thats what happened to me. When I first saw a Pani and put it on my wrist, it was like a first kiss or new experience. However, the Rolex is a keeper even if I had to choose between selling the Pani and Rolex.

Glad you tried them Seth. I have to say I was never a huge fan of them, but after seeing Launch Mini's 98 this past weekend......well let's just say I need to start planning!

The 98 was quite popular at the GTG. Poor Carlo asked to "borrow" it many times
I had his ZERO on my wrist quite a bit of the time while he was wearing the 98.
But as far as the sound of the alarm, the JLC & The UN were outstanding.
The JLC sounded like a small alarm clock and the UN, was a musical instrument.

UN make some stunning peices.... but I would be worried that something as fine as that piece would just not work on my meaty wrists
