A local jeweler has a rather limited 1950 case up for sale that I really like and is in good shape, but no B&P sadly. Explains why the price is 1.5-2k less than comparable examples that are online. I contacted my local AD and was told I can bring it in, pay them $450 and get a new copy of the papers within a few days, so checkmark there, but they can’t help me out with the box (maybe it’s because it’s a LE and has a special little plaque in it). Given the jeweler’s reputation I have no…

To Buy Without B&P or Not To Buy Without B&P, That Is The Question…

Hello All.

I bought my first Pam, a pre-owned Radiomir 1940 3 Days Acciaio – 47mm.

Magnificent.

It came in a large wooden “Limited Edition” box (very impressive). Inside the box is a rolled-up certificate (very cool), a key to lock the box, and an extra crystal. Nice.

Under the lift-out tray is 2 booklets and a white unmarked polishing cloth.

Here’s my question: I’m wondering what’s missing from the box (if anything).

It’s lacking a…

What Goodies Come with a Pam?

Hello All.

I’m sending my Pam to Texas for a repair and a full service. [ Radiomir 1940 3 Days Acciaio – 47mm ]

OP mailed me the “kit,” and my watch is in the envelope, with a FedEX label on it.

Here’s my question: the exterior label (provided by OP) does NOT contain my home address (although the form inside the package does).

Is this something I should be worried about — my home address NOT being displayed on the envelope?

Many thanks!

For the first time in my life, I made (relative to me) an impulse purchase. And by impulse, I mean I’ve been pining for months and months. This, coupled with the fact that my Luminor has been away for service for over a month led me to pull the trigger.

I couldn’t be happier with how versatile and classy my new Radiomir 753 is! Got it used from a great seller here and in full honeymoon mode. My question for the masses is what would be a good size or replacement screw driver? It came with…

Screw Driver Question and New Watch!

I’ve been a Panerai fan since around 2009, and for most of the time between then and now, I have not seriously considered a Submersible for reasons that even I don’t really know. As of 2024 I owned 4 Panerai and none of them was a Submersible. It’s always been in the back of my mind to eventually own one, and a thread about owning the “trio” that appeared here last year got me thinking more seriously about owning a Sub. Toward the end of last year I decided I wanted a Submersible for my…
