.....by the Panerai Bug. Was wanting a GMT 88 for my first one but the local dealer called today and got a few in. (A few as in 2!) I go look and she has a metal bracelet, don't know the number, wasn't interested, and this one which is out of my price range for a first Pam. Then she said "I can do better than that, hold on a minute." I'm thinking "no way" cause I haven't bought one thing from these people and this was only my second visit to the store and I hear no one discounts them. So she comes back with (I don't know how she came up with this one) but 19% off!!!!! So I say "SOLD!" and she even throws in a Panerai brown croc strap! Oh, I guess I still haven't said which one I got. Here are the step by step photos.
Enjoy.
Edit: She said they did have a Daylight. If any one is interested shoot me a pm. Don't know which # but can find out first thing in the morning and they do ship.

Wow Danny that is great man. I was looking at this watch in a magazine just 12 hours ago and thinking to myself, "Geez now that's a very cool looking Paneraii chrono"

You must be very happy with that purchase, well done with a huge discount too!

Regards

It wasn't what I intended for my first Panerai but I couldn't pass up the deal. It is a cool looking watch! I like it!
Thanks
Danny

That is what they call in Scotland- a BELTER!

great watch

frostie · 17 April 2008, 09:52 AM

Congrats on your watch

Launch Mini · 17 April 2008, 11:58 AM

Sweet watch. I have it's little brother, the 212.
That split second timer is too cool.

Lol-x · 17 April 2008, 02:26 PM

Hey John how did you get the skull & crossbones on there

That looks kick-ass

Launch Mini · 18 April 2008, 09:04 AM

This strap came with two "attachments".
The skull , and a maltese cross. THere is a hole in the strap, and the two doo-dads have screw on backs, so it fits nice & tight without wobbling around.
I have the strap makers info at home if your interested.
I think the Skull goes best with my bike though.

forthefans · 18 April 2008, 09:41 AM

That's a good looking watch. I've been wanting to get one(regular GMT, not chrono) but contemplating.
I heard some people suggested me to choose Rolex over Panerai. I already have a SS Daytona and a DJ.
But congrats. I envy you.

Wow great PAM! Enjoy!

How about a wrist shot?

If you buy that you'll need a Harley not a Ducati.

Nice Panerai. I'm only looking, I'm only looking.

Lol-x · 18 April 2008, 08:15 PM

John I really like the skull and crossbones. And I'm sure the maltese cross is cool too (I can't see that).
While I really like that, I don't know that I could personally carry it off.
I do ride a Japanese Motorcycle, so maybe a Samurai Sword would be better for me

Eddie, I still want that Ducati......one day I might find a nice condition s/hand one and save a few 1,000 off retail. I still think I'm too young for a Harley....I mean I need my superannuation payout just to keep a Harley properly maintained.
