Pam 88 over weekend
I'll post pics later, but for years I've been told not to like panerai. The Watch Snob columns and others around the net bemoan in-house movements vs eta... faked history, and so on. I visited a rolex AD intent on buying a blnr gmt rolex and the blnr just didn't do it for me. The salesguy said I should consider panerai, or asked if i would. I scoffed a bit but noticed a gmt panerai. I had been to this AD before and always walked past panerai without a glance, straight to the rolex cases. I spied the pam 88, but didn't know it was an 88, 111, 123, or 123456 model.. I held it, loved it, then looked at 5 other pams... i wasn't supposed to like, much less LOVE panerai. But i do, and did. I loved the strap, layout, dial, and cosc certification. . Furthermore, a watchmaker/customer happened by and commented how easy an eta or valjoux movement is to service. I adored the pam 88 and it wore far better on my wrist than the sub c or gmt. I bought the pam 88 and am now a lifelong pam fan. Funny

Panerai Warranty
The two-year warranty on my Panerai (purchased from authorized dealer) will be coming due later this year. Is there anything I should be looking for before then so that I can make a timely warranty claim. The watch seems to keep good time, as far as I can tell.Thanks for any thoughts on this.

Is the Explorer 214270 Mk1 currently the best bang for your buck Rolex?
It looks like an mk1 with the WG non lumed 3-6-9 is going for around $4500 - 5200 asking price on the forums. That seems like a great deal to me for probably the most versatile modern Rolex that could easily fill a 1 watch collection.I personally prefer the WG 3-6-9 on the mk1. I find the lumed 3-6-9 on the mk2 makes the watch look more generic and subdued. And I find the short hands criticism almost trivial. Are there better deals to be had on a modern rolex?
