Incoming.....PAM 81....first Pamerai
After much searching I finally hooked up with this watch, my first Panerai. It was purchased from seanlandaes a trusted seller on the forum.It's a Special Edition from 2000 and only 200 were made. Because of the age I had the watch shipped directly to the watchmaker I use for a complete service and I'm anxiously waiting for it to be finished.I've already bought some straps for it even though I really like the bracelet.I will post a wrist shot when I finally get the watch till then here you go....Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Rolex Primer
Hello everyone. Total newbie here. I haven't even purchased my first Rolex yet. But, I've been researching quite a bit. I saw the abbreviations thread (thanks for that). But I'm trying to understand the Rolex numbering scheme.Anyone have a Rolex primer on what pattern is used in the numbering system?In my research, I really like the Stainless Steel DateJust 41, Oyster, Rhodium or Silver face, Smooth Bessel. It seems like a well rounded first Rolex that can fit as an every day wearer that can be more casual or formal. I've found it as low as 6100 on Truefacet (but usually closer to 6400) and as high as the list 7350 at the local AD. But when you add 10% sales tax, it is difficult to pay a 20% premium just to buy it locally.I'd love any and all advice or direction. Any really obvious pitfalls I'm overlooking?
