Introducing "Tool of the Week" - Week 1: la Bussola / the Compass December 11 2011 at 4:36 PM		(Login Asimut) High Heid Yin from IP address 79.183.11.250


Panerai was known for being a 'tool' company just as much, if not more than being a watch company. The tools made by Panerai over the years display design, functionality and inguinity and we would like to have the opportunity to display and discuss them as well. We will be selecting a weekly category and we would welcome contribution by pics and information. If you have similar or other variations, original boxes, instruction manuals or any other information, we would appreciate sharing those with the rest of us To get things started, this week's topic is the compass. Looking forward to read your responses... Cheers and best from the holyland, ~Asi~
