Hi guys - and thanks for the concern - had a very nasty disease recently which severely limlited my time for 'browsing' the forum...over here they call it "travail" but I think you lot call it "work" (sorry Admin - delete this post if the word is TOO much...)
No new watches - and I'm still waiting for my Panerai 270 - here's a shot just to remind you all
Word has it that it'll be here in the next couple of weeks.
Admin is a very happy bunny today (25th), and I'm sure he'll tell you why very soon...
As to future purchases, sadly still Panerai
, I've reserved the 308. Every year Panerai 'create' a special edition (500 examples) watch linked to the Regatta Challenge Yacht race - I've already got the 2006 version (the 253 as I'm sure you all remember) - and I thought this would go quite nicely with it...
This is the 253 - and Altair, you'll notice that I've put a brown strap on it this time - love it to bits!!
As to Breitling, I'm 'interested' in the Chrono-Matic 49 - black bits on watchs really ring my bell! We'll see...
Oh, and talking of black watches, what do you all think of this one...(details after the last photo) As Michael Palin once said "Even the white bits were black..."
Here goes - Manifaturra P2004, ceramic body, Luminor 317 - finally a BLACK watch that I've been looking for - sadly, two things going against it (apart from the price!) - it's a manual wind and there's no frigging date!!!!
It's good to be back
Good to see you back again Sporty, and allow me to be one of the first to say a very warm welcome. To quote one of Altair's posts, it's not been the same without "the old coot" around!
