 Just dreamin' here on this (Limited to 30 pieces) Radiomir Tourbillon GMT Ceramica 48mm from Panerai (you also need to come up with $160,000).

Wow...this thing has some serious horology WOW FACTOR IMO!!!!!thumbsup.gif  I thought you guys would enjoy this one!!!

The main novelty of the new timepiece is the refined skeleton structure, clearly visible from the dial.  The dial shape allows the numerous parts of the movement to be seen, including the tourbillon regulator at 10-11 o’clock. The dial is protected by a sapphire crystal with double AR coating.

Despite the technical complexity of the tourbillon movement, this watch is 100-meter waterproof, qualifying as a true traditional Radiomir. Comprising 277 parts, the movement is the result of exceptional work by the maestro watch-makers at Officine Panerai and, thanks to its three spring barrels, enables a power reserve of six days, indicated by a hand that can be seen through the back plate moving through the arc of a circle. It comes on a leather strap with adjustable buckle in scratch-resistant burnished steel. The watch case measures 48 mm diameter and is sculptured from a zirconium oxide ceramic.

How is that for WOW!!!  my love.gif
