Incoming... on the Panerai forum!
Not one of the usual on the Panerai forum, but I picked up a Pam111. My first. Arrived last night and looking great. Apologies for the terrible picture (my phone suffered and accident and it broke the camera cover....). Impressed with beauty of movement as seen through the huge display on the back!IMG-20140402-00088.jpg

Some of you may have seen my post at the weekend over my dilemma as to whether or not to add a 116519 to the collection.Well...the responses helped me decide and so today I did what had to be done!This will not replace my 116500, but will compliment it as it offers such a different look.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Need advice on Explorer II 16570 (1998)
Hi,I came across 1998 issue of the Explorer ii. I dont have any Rolex yet and was considering Explorer 1 214270. However, this pre-owned piece is in good condition, is sold by an AD, was serviced by them and AD gives additional 2 yrs warranty. The case has normal wear, some of the numbers on the bezel are losing paint and bracelet is missing extra links so I have to buy them or put on nato/leather. I should also mention that box and papers are included. Please share your opinion regarding buying 20yr old Rolex vs new or under 5 year old. The price is competitive, so not sure if there are any gotchas I don't know about or AD wants to get it out. This watch was at the store for at least 6 months now. If you can share price that you believe this should be at, it would help as well. I already checked eBay and chrono24Thank you
