  • A Panerai Book , Paneristi Baller ID & Titanium Pam...Sounds Like A Great Weekend...

    Hello Brothers...

    Been sometime now since I last contribute to our own local watch forum...

    Just wanna share with you guys my newest and latest acquisition...

    1) A Titanium Pam 25L which is something I have been wanting for sometime now. It feels much lighter than my previous (now gone) sub (87) which I have trouble wearing it due to its weight. Too top heavy and sit too high on the wrist (strictly my own personal experience and opinion). So this lighter sub is adapting very very well on my wrist now.

    2) A Paneristi Baller ID (Thanks to my friend Magnus Royce from CA for this gift)

    3) A Vintage Panerai hardcover book (Thanks to my friend Thomas from FL for this great giveaway).

    Here are some photos to share with my brothers here.

    P.S. Please forgive me for the very very bad and poor quality pics taken from my Nokia E90.

    Group Shots.



    This Vintage Panerai : Watches With History focus on 5 vintage Pammies...

    I) The California Dial Ref 3646...



    With Its Caliber 618 Cortebert Bride Movt (16 lines), finished by Rolex w/Geneva Stripes and 17 rubies...



    The 3646 California Dial...



    The Italian Gamma veteran, Omeris Arpesella with his Cali engraved 'Gruppo Gamma' in 2003 but sadly the watch was stolen in 2005 and still missing till now.



    The hands of a Gamma veteran of the Decima Flottiglia MAS.



    II) The Lehmann Radiomir Ref 3646...



    With Its Caliber similar to the Cali Dial, finished by Rolex w/Geneva Stripes and 17 rubies...(if you can spot the difference between the Cali Dail movt and the Lehmann movt..what is it?)



    The back case engravement...Kampf - Schwimmer (Wettkampfgruppe Schwimmen = Swimming Competitions Group)...



    This is the gentleman (Heinz Gunter Lehman in his officer uniform) who received this watch from Bullin (Leading Supply Assistant) who died during an underwater march (Bullin had used up all his oxygen).



    To Be Continue...


    'It ain't how hard you hit;
    it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward.
    How much you can take, and keep moving forward.
    That's how winning is done.'

            Part IV (Last)....

            Additional Photos...

            Group of Frogmen synchronizing their watches before the dive mission...

            The Italians, who had many years of experience in underwater mission, possessed extensive knowledge of this equipment. Thus, from 1943 to 1945, German combat swimmers who trained in Italy not only make used of the Italian diving equipment but the watches too.

                          Congrats on your switch. I guess it's more on how you felt about the 87 in your heart than on the wrist

                          Enjoy your new catch

                          Cheers
