A Piece of History

The most beautiful time piece in the world is also a piece of history. And now, it's on my wrist! The Luminor Panerai 1950 Limited Edition is breathtaking to say the least. Once I laid eyes on it, I knew I had to have it. Want one for yourself? Good luck finding someone who will give up theirs! It took a small miracle for me to locate this one (thanks Davie!), and now I wouldn't sell it for a million dollars. A special shout out to my good friend Ben "the great wall" Lee, who at the risk of losing a friendship with my wife, introduced me to my first Panerai in 2005. Don't be jealous Uncleray... you'll get to see it close up in Toronto next month and again in Miami at our workshop :)

Ah Mike, now you have gone and done it !! Just got my flyback 1950 and uncleRay showed me his new one in Miami and there you go droping it down on us with another exclusive.

As for showing Ben with Sly !! Looks like Ben has thrown down the Gauntlet on Paneristi !.

hope to see you again sometime, look after uncleRay for us in Canada.

Hey Mike, congrats on finally landing that 1950! I could tell when I was out there you were somehow, someday going to have it ; )

It's amazing, barely a wedding goes by that someone doesn't ask, "excuse me, is that a Panerai you're wearing?" Pretty cool, and all thanks to you.

Take care and enjoy Canada, hey!

Congrats on the new watch Mike. I know you have had your eye on one. That will eventually be a "real" heirloom for either Aidan or Logan. Hope all is going well.

Thanks guys! Kevin, you're right about the image being taken with my iPhone. I'll upload some D2x images soon so you can really see why I'm so in love with my new "Fiddy". It's a handsome son of a gun :) Panerai's are perfect for photographers. They are timeless, historic, and beautiful.

Mike,

Congrats on your "Fiddy"! Check out Paneristi.com for all the info on these watches.

I'm doing some work for a watch specialist in Europe. Would be good to speak to you about an idea I have.

Best wishes,

Jon
