A day in vintage paradise: Mercante in Fiera Parma
Oct 12, 2024,17:49 PM
I wanted to see what Mercante in Fiera in Parma was all about for a while… so I booked a nice hotel for a family week end in Milano and drove a bit further to Parma.
The fair is huge and covers design / art / furniture. The overall booth quality is quite fluctuating, but the watch section did not disappoint.
It’s vintage PP / AP / Rolex fantasy land! A few nice Speedmaster and VC, and super concentrated to the top tier of the crema de la crema 
Starting the day with a croissant con crema
Newman were all over
AP Cobra
Mobutu
222
My absolute highlight: Genta QP mother of pearl NOS with all stickers: 17k€, almost pulled the trigger!
Also loved the T3
And this nice Mark 3 silver could have completed nicely my Mark 3 black dial
Some dolce to refuel
And a nice try at the Omega Milano boutique: really loved the FOIS in the metal (a lot less shiny than in pictures)
