Sure did! I went into our Panerai AD last Thursday. Tried on the PAM048, got offered a great discount. Said 'put it on hold for 24hrs' so they did.

Then went to the used dealer I know well and he offered me a very very good price for my 210!

Sam, as much as I loved the 210, it spent more time sitting in a watch box than on my wrist. I'd look at it in the morning, when deciding what to wear and the thought was always 'nah dont wanna wear it' mainly cos I'd spend the day rearranging it on my wrist or looking at it sitting on my desk.

So I have a 48 looking up at me now, it's perfect.. perfect size and best of all it's WEARABLE! To hell with the history aspect, I always wanted a Panerai that was a daily wearer and now I have one

I can't justify owning something I dont wear. The decision around this was what kinda spooked my post a week or so back when I said maybe i should give up. So it wasnt a decision I took lightly.

Hey, if you don't wear it then sell it. I think you'll like the 48....40mm will fit you better I hope.

I just went through the same thing with my JLC. just moved it and picked up a PAM 106.

Congrats Sam, thats awesome! We'll have to do matching posts soon of our new PAMS

Amanda, what's the lume like on the hands and where did you get them?

[amanda]

Hey John! They came with my 210 and were provided by a watchmaker the PO knew. Lume, I have no idea I've not looked at them.

I think I'll just hang onto them for now as when I re-read the PO email about the watch and accessories some doubt has crept into my mind about how good they are! I still wanna get a homage Rad case cos I wanna use your white strap in summer! PVD or not PVD is the question!
