Incoming! New to me... At least.
Hello everyone! This is one that tends to not get much love on the forums, but I've wanted since I first saw it. Here comes my offshore triple date/calendar. Thanks for all the great posts on the forum. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

5711 and 5712
Hi guys. How do your feel about having both a 5711a blue and 5712a in a collection? Already own a 5712a and probably going to be offered a 5711a soon. Would a 5524 be a better addition? Was shown one at the AD, and boy it looks fantastic in the flesh.

Outgoing...
Did I say incoming? Make that landed The reasoning behind my selection of this one goes beyond logic, maybe beyond even WIS-logic and into the realms of that small (and at times short-sighted) group, Il Paneristi. In my feeble defense, I made the mistake of accepting an invitation to Firenze not to long ago and the temptation got the best of me...Four numerals, small seconds and last but certainly not least, the Marina Militare label... c/o Ralf und Volker... I'd never buy such a watch w/o seeing it in person so it was fate when my favorite local grey dealer pulled it out to show me. Only one owner, originating from an Austrian AD (I curr. reside in Vienna), properly used, but not abused; my dealer decided not to do anything to it so that the buyer could decide. Considering it's not vintage per say, I'm going to have him send it in to OP for a full service and (minimal) surface polish.My two PAMs will pretty much keep me satisfied for a long time to come*... big and clean vs. complic
