The 233 looks just killer on this PAV strap, best made calf out of the 20 I have!!!!


Tried to capture this watches true beauty, impossible!! It looks SO much better in person.

Very nice Altair - the lume looks really powerful and the strap looks very good and thick. Nice!

That is a beauty! The Panerai is the only make of watch other than Breitling that has really got me looking seriously. I think next year will be the year for that one! The Radiomir PAM 210 is really the one at the top of my list! I am already looking at all the aftermarket websites for alternate straps!
The strap on yours looks incredible, and nice and thick, too.
Please tell me, is the lume on all the Panerai models that spectacular?
Cheers,
Carl

Fantastic pics Altair. :bow:

I believe NASA scientists have also finally confirmed that it is indeed possible to see that lume from space! :wink:

Vey nice Altair!

And that strap, whoaaaa... that must be the thickest leather I have seen EVER.
Even the thick ol´ Breitling straps looks thin compared to that one.

When I get my first Panerai I will hunt one of those bad boys down for sure! (where do you buy them???)

The 210 is a great watch, and very historically accurate to boot! The absolute best value Panerai, very under rated.

The very bright lume is due to the sandwich dial, most Base Panerais and Manifattura models have Sandich dials, including the 210 and 233, so the lume is very comparable.

One you see Panerai lume, no other compares. It actually illuminates surrounding surfaces, as you can see in those pics I posted. Almost eerie :shock:

Nice LE number too Altair - 1001/2000! :thumbsup: A keeper for sure!

Dammit.. those macro's looks stunning.

Saved a little more money this month. And if I sold my 111K + SA I could swing a 233.................................. hmmmm :mrgreen:

Post subject:  Re: Finally calmed down enough to take some decent pics.
I know Driver, wondered if someone would notice. I quite like the number too :mrgreen:

Jay, get the 233 now before they ruin it with the AM/PM indicator. Cluttering the dial like that is such a bad idea! It is so perfect right now.

Great pics Altair, and I love the strap. :thumbsup:

Jay - if you ever are thinking seriously of selling the 111, drop me a line. Not this month though, I'm moving house and it's going to cost $$$.

Post subject:  Re: Finally calmed down enough to take some decent pics.
That's a very real possibility Otto. Shoot me a PM and we can discuss.

As for the AM/PM change.. I dont mind it to be honest Altair. I know most hate it though, lol.
