A new PANERISTI joins the fold!! :-)

Sold the 000 to fund a new watch, and it was not for me.

Introducing Andie's very own PAM 49 on OEM Pink Croc. She is in heaven and told me to put her Tudor on the winder, I have a feeling it will be there for a LONG time.

Thanks a ton to TRF's own Ian Thomas for the great deal and transaction. Ian even bought the Starbucks!! What a great personality and I can't wait for the next time we can sit down and chat!! I could have sat and talked all day, I hate it when work gets in the way.








The crowd goes wild!!!!


Starter kit...


Couple of quickies....

Always liked the white dial Darren, but even for your wife, not sure with that pink strap,IMHO would look fine on that pale blue.

Excellent job, Darren. While I still haven't crossed the line to Pannie love, I think big watches look sexy on a woman. You've converted your wife to a WIS. I'm lucky, as my wife couldn't care less about multiple fancy watches. She saves that job for me.

Well done, Daren. I disagree with Peter. I think the pink strap looks great on Andie's wrist. Hope she enoys it for a long time to come.

Congrats buddy, it looks fantastic!

She'll be in accesorizing heaven with all those straps, I think the blue and pink look good on her. May she wear it in the best of health

When is she going to sign up? About the same time I sell off all my Pannies and buy one watch, a Rolex and live happily.


Thanks everyone for the nice comments, she is very happy and if Momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.

they both look great!

They don't make any women's watches, technically speaking. But the majority of women who actually 'get it' tend to wear the smaller size. But in reality, unless you see a 40mm and a 44mm side by each, it's difficult to tell what the size is.

Looks great on Andie, Daren! Panerai as a watch brand looks really cool on women and they can get away with wearing virtually any size. Plus there's the 'strap factor' - I'm waiting for a girl to take over from Aurelio as the Strap KIng (Queen!) LOL!

But the best pic for me is your son and his furry brother/sister - great photo!
