had been waiting for it since hearing the news on sept 2011, from the forums here no less. got the piece end of december, had it handcarried to me by a friend just last friday.

this particular panerai model 390 totally blew me away, it's one of the most beautiful luminor 44mm base ever made, very unique tobacco brown color of the dial, different from most of the tobacco dials out there(is there anyone who knows other models that has same brown/tobacco color as the 390?). for me it's beauty ranks up there after those pre-V models.., and it's definitely special enough for a keeper! i can envision myself still owning the watch 10 20 years from now.

another recent acquisition is the 372, hasn't got the chance to take photographs of it yet. for the meantime, thanks for reading.. here's the 390:

I've really warmed up to the 390. Even thought about trying to get one. But I always go back to thinking I need a RAD in the collection to change it up a bit.
