Tony...I like this upcoming Limited Edition Pan-Europ Re-issue from Hamilton alot!!thumbsup.gif

I have been looking at this one for the last several months ever since it was announced at Pre-Basel this year (one of the main reasons I was jonesing for one is 1971 is my birth year...yep, will be turning 40 later this year...thought it would be a cool milestone sort of piece, although I've also been thinking about an even more special grail piece to mark the occasion!).

I think they have done a great job with the look of this re-issue (great size too).  Here is a pic of the original 1971 Pan-Europ next to the re-issue.

I'm tempted, but hoping to find one below the MSRP of $1825 (supposed to be available sometime around September of this year).




Chris, this would be a good bday gift to yourself when you turn 40. Of all the Hamiltons I've seen, really, this one is excellent piece in terms of design and collectability value and much better than the original. IMVHO the chance of getting this below MSRP is high. I'd say go for it, amigo!
