Last week, I attended a showing at the one and only Panerai AD in Arizona. The president of Panerai North America was there, or so I was told. The purpose was to showcase the new Due line of watches from Panerai. A week or two prior, the AD had asked their customers to loan them any special edition watches from their collections. On hand were more than 100 unique timepieces. Of particular note, were a few vintage pieces that were amazing.

This watch is from 1943 and is in incredible condition:

The second coolest piece (IMO) was this watch from 1961. Note the welded on lugs:

And finally, there was this set consisting of a wrist-worn compass and depth gauge. Very cool:

It was a fun evening.
