Paneristi / Panerai Christmas 2002 Competition

Officine Panerai have made the most generous offer of 100 Panerai 2003 desk diaries, signed by Mr Angelo Bonati himself, as a Christmas present to the die-hard enthusiasts around the world. These diaries will be serious collectors items. The diaries will be sent out from Firenze in the near future.

Winners

All competitions have to have winners - so these were the first 100 people to submit correct entries. I'll probably have to do a little following up regarding real names, and the countries in which people live.

As with all the best competitions, the referee's (that's me) decision is final, and no correspondence will be entered into.
