B1 Closeups
Can't wait to get home and move these to Photobucket as JBH suggests. Taken by Redeye. Some great fun we had, but limited time as we both had family (& kid obligations) in the evening.

It's here! My first AP.
My first AP! Went with the new 15202 jumbo. Was having good ol' DSW source a 15300 (which I'm still mulling), but he mentioned yesterday that he had an inbound BNIB 15202 (warranty dated this week) from his AD. I thought about it for a good 30 seconds and pulled the trigger. David had the AD drop ship it to my place and I received it this morning. The thinner case and 39mm size suits my wrists better than the 15400. As has been mentioned before, it wears a lot like a PP 5711 - which is also in my rotation. However, the 15202 bracelet is a bit more comfortable IMHO. I love the patisserie dial and its subtle color changes in different light. The detailing on the watch is insane - up there with my Pateks.Thank you DavidSW for another smooth transaction, and thank you Thomas (TSW) for bracelet sizing advice after some issues with overuse of loctite at the AP factory. Coincidentally, the 15202 arrived the same day I received my always-delayed copy of WatchTime featuring the RO Jumbo. Enough

I was wandering around wondering what my PAM model was..
.. day and night. Every time I hit the Panerai boutique they would apologize and wouldn't tell me. Approaching strangers wherever I go, cafes, restaurants, offices; nobody would tell me what the model was. People started recognizing me at the places I frequent and they would give me weird looks and avoid me. It's stayed a mystery for such a long time. Walking around the city, malls, beaches, and parking lots. At this point I started to lose hope, thinking I'll die before I identify my Panerai watch. It started affecting both, my personal and professional life. I was devastated and my life started falling apart. My wife left me, and got fired from my job. Had no more friends as they thought I was going mental. Then all of a sudden; I was at some random building trying to look for clues; it hit me! And I lived happily ever after.

How Many Times A Rolex Changes Hand
This topic or thread will be base on total conjecture but I often wonder how many times any particular used Rolex was flipped, sold, traded and made it's way around the globe.No doubt if some of the Rolexes could talk, there would be some very interesting stories.Basing this on the amount of different watches I've bought and sold in different locations of the world.

LV/Hulk in ADs?
Decided to pickup a green sub to compliment my white AP and bluesy two tone. Called ADs for a while today, everyone is out. Are there ANY ADs that have these watches in stock? Or do flippers snap them up as soon as they're available?Beautiful piece, can't wait to get my hands on one.Chad
