My new to me watches: AP & Panerai
 

Thought I make my first post over here with a pair of pics of my recently acquired pieces. Rubberclad and PAM88. Me likey them :yahoo:

Got them from Gil (The Watch Collector). Anyone not considering doing business with him is wasting his time. Smooth and easy transaction as they come.

So where are the pics?

Great choices! that is the way to start a collection.

I traded a 2 tone Daytona (white dial), 2 tone Sub (blue dial), SS Daytona (black dial), and a 2 tone Cartier (large Tank Francaise) for these two pieces and something leftover for something else, so not really a start as much as a change of pace ;)

I got rid of a S/P Yachtmaster and 50th Anivers. Sub for a PAM 214 from Gil. Couldn't be happier.

yea so those are my two favs, and you own them both...well done.
i just got my first "nice" watch last year, GMT II-C, i love it.

GMTII is a nice watch, but after having owned various Rolex models for nearly 18 years, I thought it was time to change things up a bit. Once I win the lottery, I will dabble into other pieces I have always wanted too, namely PP, Breguet, JLC, UN, RM, and others.

I would have done the very same swap as well, beautiful pieces!

Congrats...Nice combo!

very nice. the rubberclad and 88 are my choice watches as well
