I already have the Daytona. As a matter of fact I have it on right now. I picked that one up the weekend I mentioned it here.

I think I'm going to have to jump on the PAM250. As for the Rolex's, torneau no longer carries them. Something to do with rolex opening a retail store in the same mall. Believe Me I already tried. I would have much rather got a Roli instead of a Panerai.
Bro... if you already have the Rolex Daytona, by all means, go for the Panerai Daylight Chrono! It's a gorgeous watch and it is also rare like the Daytona! This is the route I went... I got a Daytona, then the Daylight Chrono, then I got a Rolex Submariner Date, then a Panerai Power Reserve, then a Rolex GMT Master ll... I now have a Panerai GMT on the radar. I guess you see my pattern of Rolex first and then a Panerai. I have some other watches too, but Rolex and Panerai are my favorites... so get that PAM250!

Did you retint yet?

not yet.....

check this out...lol


59,000-dwt car carrier M/V Courage listed heavily in the port of New Jersey on Jan. 11. 370 BMW cars were damaged, seventy were lost. M/V Courage had come from Europa with a cargo of 2,000 cars, mainly BMW 1-series, 3-series and M3's. The seriously damaged cars will be destroyed, cars with less damage will be repaired.

If Your BMW Gets Wet -- Use A Towel -- Not A Tumble Dry

The car carrier M/V Courage tumbled at the port in Jersey City on Jan. 11 causing damage to over 370 BMWs. M/V Courage was loaded with new 3-series and 1-series vehicles, including new M3s. Around 70 of the damaged cars are reported to be total losses with others sustaining major damage. Word is that the M3s bared the majority of the damage.
Extensively damaged cars will be declared a total looss & crushed while those with minor damage will undergo repair at a receiving facility in Elizabeth, NJ, after which they will proceed onto dealers.

Bimmers destined for European delivery customers were also on board, although it's not clear how those buyers will be handled in the wake of the incident.

This is a particularly harsh hit to BMW in terms of the new M3 and even more so for the owners awaiting their new V8-powered uber-coupes. We'd expect this unfortunately event will lead to an extension of the waiting period many potential customers will have to endure. It also means many dealerships are out of luck for a demo car. With the M3's competition coming on strong from the likes of Lexus, Cadillac & Mercedes one can only imagine this sort of setback might steer away a few potential buyers.

Likely due to the transfer of fluids between tanks on the vessel -- this tumble will cost MILLIONS!
