First year Seamasters (1947) command premium prices?
I'm curious if Seamasters from 1947, the first year the Seamaster name was used, are considered more collectable than their counterparts from later years. I've seen a good number of '47 Seamasters for sale, and haven't personally noticed a substantial price difference, but I'm curious if others have. It would make sense, after all, for first year watches to command a premium. I purchased a vintage Seamaster (one of many that have made their way into my collection) some time ago. At the time of purchase, the exact date of production was not given. I later used the serial number to date it to 1947. It struck me later when reading another post on the Seamaster line that '47 was the first year of production. I don't plan to sell anyway, but I do enjoy having a watch from the original year of the famous Seamaster line.

I'd like to...
thank everyone I've pestered for info last 2 weeks.Special thanks to Brian who baby sat me at the AP boutique and Wempe.The 5167 came in today and its still as beautiful as I saw it at the AD!I'm not saying this because I'm trying to justify the crazy purchase(my ex would've said.. 'are you crazy??? we could have donated the money to ASPCA).Design wise, I find this watch to be very 'clean' and well balanced.As others had already mentioned the way the light plays on the dial is unreal.. subtle but very unique!I had a difficult time of choosing this watch over the Naut. After looking at the 5711 for a while, there's just too many horizontal elements going on (dial and fin thingys on left side of case) which makes the watch look 'squat'. Its like heavier women should not wear horizontal strips.In any event, anyone know how to remove the pins on the clasp?Is it just a normal push pin?Cut rubber and re attach??Tingoh btw, the box the watch came in is almost worth the price of admission!

Your PAM in the plane
Well there's a thread in the Rolex section so why can't we have one here in the Panerai sub-forum? Here's my (new ) 359 on the way to Brisbane a bit earlier today. Now let's see yours
