I give thanks for my new Neil Armstrong Speedie!

Any comments will be welcomed.Thanks.

Hi AllI have been off the forum for some time and just back on. I noticed that above Seller is banned. David & Alan Gross from bridge street jewellers. I bought a PAM from him years back, should I be concerned about it’s authenticity? Anytime I took it to AD they would always ask me where I bought it.. I thought it may have been due to grey market. The papers I have are stamped in Lisbon.

Now part of the Panerai Club
After trying one on in the Caribbean a couple of weeks ago. I have been been on the search. Now I am the proud owner of a PAM 564. Now I am on the hunt for some vintage looking bands...
