    So i was wondering what to fill the final space in the watch box with, and realised that i would have kept my Panerai 000 if it hadn't sold before my JLC.

    So with that in mind i decided another Panerai was the way to go. I sometimes struggled with the sheer bulk of the 44mm luminor case, and have always found the Radiomir case a little more cuff friendly. I have previously owned a Panerai 380 which is the base Rad, and really liked it, but the logo on the dial didnt do it for me, and i prefer a sandwich dial. That then mean the 210 or 183 were the likely targets.

    Lo and behold a brand new 183 came up on chrono24 from a dutch dealer that i had previously purchased another watch from. A few emails back and forth and further €200 discount and shipping thrown in and a deal was struck.

    Have to say im chuffed with this and will hopefully keep it for a while, perhaps adding an alligator strap to dress it up a little.

    So with the Panerai Im now left with the Rolex sub-c

    IWC Portuguese

    and a Rolex daytona

    I think this might be the end of the flipping for a while :rolleyes::P

    Tempted to delete thread so only me and Bedlam can see it. As an anti watch addiction service you understand. :D Gorgeous collection C and a nice spread of styles.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    I take it you have no problems with Chrono24, was always on the fence about them, but suppose depends on the dealer

    I think you need to add a classic dress watch at some stage but I don't see any reason to flip any of those in the futures, funds willing.

    Yes the iwc fulfills that brief for now but at some stage id love a gold calatrava or similar

    I don't wear suits day to day so it'd be a bit of a waste right now

    Albeit beautiful (I have one too), the Port Chrono is more of a tool watch. I don't ever wear suits nor do I dive or fly planes......
