My third AP is an Annual Calendar
After a very good season, I awarded myself with a new AP! It's not new, but very nicely used, and I love it! It's an Royal Oak Annual Calendar. 25920ST. Perfect size too! I like the new beefier AP's, but these oldies but goodies aren't bad either!

Great time to be a Panerai fan!
If you truly like the Panerai brand, and don't just follow trends like a sheep, now is the best time in the last 15 years to be a Panerai fan!The choices are amazing, the prices are reasonable, and the watches are actually obtainable.Up until recently, the average collector could not get the SE or hot watches without spending waaaay over retail. Now, the brand is making more pieces with historic ties and most can be had at a discount. For someone like me who has been following the brand for over 15 years...this is a great time.The history, look, and the DNA of the brand has not changed. I guess I'm just glad that some of the hype has passed....now I can buy some of the watches that I have wanted for many years because they are actually affordable again!That's all...just wanted to say that. Enjoy your day.Now I just need to wait for the vintage Rolex bubble to burst!
