Who is this guy from Paneristi?

[watchpassionist]

Saw his photos quite often when surfing Panerai and Paneristi web....

is he the moderator of Paneristi?

Is he also the controversy talk about man in the Pam360 saga?

Is he the one to chose the 300 Pam360 names?

lastly heard he is the main man coming to the SG Paneristi gtg?

[watchpassionist]

Thks bro Feilong , was just curious abt him. Heard from some bros he ever did pass some not nice comments on our government regarding the hanging of some Australian vietnamese who was caught here trafficking drugs?

Anyone heard of this?

[GadgetGuy]

He's not coming to SG for GTG. It's a video link if he's feeling ok.

[feilong108]

Erm...i did not hear or read any of the mentioned threads about him commenting about our country...me a lurker in P.com...not a true Risti yet in a sense that i can ill-afford 1 pam as i m dirt poor compared to the bros in here by local standard...hahahaha....

Well..i hope some of the senior members that are long timers in P.Com to chip in with more information regarding your questions...

Cheers and sorry not able to chip in much...

everyone is entitled to their personal opinions. during that period, you could say all australians had negative feelings towards singapore as a whole.

in any case, hammer is a well respected contributor to p.com and he is not involved in any controversy. people did take what he wrote about 360 very seriously.

[Oceanklassik]

So, what did he say about the 360

[feilong108]

wow..the only pam 360 owner in singapore have chip in...thanks for the kind insight on the matter..cheers

I think during that period some australians did feel that way but of course there are many who supported our government, some totally agreed that drug trafficking is a serious crime in Singapore and all forms of drugs and pills has affected many lives in this world.
To hang or not is not for me to say but law is law.

So what did he say abt pam360?

I see... tht he is coming. Thks for the info.

His name is Alan. He is very helpful if you email on question regarding Panerai. He is very passionate person for Panerai. He broke himself in an accident some time back. "What ever does not kill you will make you stronger." How true. He is a fine example.

[feilong108]

His fighting spirit is amazing...and although i sometimes cannot grasp what is he typing in P.Com ,he seem to be a real nice bloke...

[Paneraii]

Yes. it is amazing. his help and friendship is without agenda.

Alan (most of the time known as Hammer) is an amazing person whom I correspond with often and have had the pleasure of meeting face to face. A very knowledgeable Risti with an amazing collection and even more amazing spirit and heart. He is, if you like, the Skipper for Paneristi.com. The Captain of the ship.

Always very nice and polite even when facing/handling difficult people and situations. He wakes up every single day to tremendous amount of pain that you cannot even imagine how anyone can endure YET will take time to post on P.Com, reply to your email or sometimes even do a Skype with you. His knowledege of Panerai especially the vintage pieces is just amazing. His rapport with the company is awesome. He is respected wherever there is a Paneristi, even a single one.

Despite all that, he still calls an insignificant person like me, his Mate and brother- and meant it through his numerous emails, calls and short notes and always always, without fail, as humble as anyone can be.

He is going through a very difficult time with his health now. Please have him in your thoughts and prayers. If all goes well, he will be speaking at the GTG this Saturday.

[feilong108]

wow..hope he recover soon man....pls post lots of pictures if possible for this GTG for those that are unable to attend ....hehehehe...
