TimeCaptain’s Top Ten Timepieces

The recent 60 Minutes story on Lamborghini got me thinking,  or fantasizing,  about exotic toys. So I decided to compile my top ten fant timepiece list. Enjoy…

Panerai Luminor PAM00372

Panerai Luminor PAM00372

This piece is everything Panerai- huge, 47mm, simple, basic, military,  and full of testosterone. This is my favorite. PAM00422 is equal, not having a base dial, but having a power reserve on the back.

Rolex Datejust II silver dial

This is your formal evening piece – the nicest Rolex ever made.

A Lange & Söhne Datograph Up/Down

You didn’t think I’d have only one Panerai, did you? Titanium, automatic in house Panerai movement, great color scheme… Oh yeah!

The Monza edition. If I actually have to explain this one, then we’re not on the same page!

My fantasy list needs a black ceramic case and the Radiomir is just gorgeous. Simple. Cool. Panerai.

Enjoying the fantasy shopping? Let me know what would you add to this list?

Yours truly,

TimeCaptain

TimeCaptain is a self-confessed timepiece junkie.  He spends nearly all of his spare time buying,  selling,  trading,  researching, admiring and trying different timepieces. He's also a fanatic Formula 1 fan, having followed every single Grand Prix since 1991.  He switches to NFL football in the fall and roots for the Green Bay Packers. A child of the 1980's, TimeCaptain is mad about 80's music,  TV, cinema and pop culture.  Another interest of TimeCaptain is space exploration and the study of distant planets and galaxies. When asked about his favorite watch,  TimeCaptain remembers Enzo Ferrari's answer as to his favorite car- "the one I haven't built yet."
