I'm In Loveeee!
 
Hey Panerai lovers!

Today I joined the club. It was a difficult 2 weeks I had to wait but today I collected my Pam 312 and what a beauty. I immediately swapped the strap once home, yes I already had bought a strap even before I got the watch, to the one shown in the picture....and what a joy it is to swap straps! Well done to panerai for coming up with this smart solution. Sorry I didn't do any unboxing pictures etc but I was just too excited!

If I don't mind saying so myself, but it looks amazing on this strap. Love it. I'm just lost for words. When I tried it on in the AD I wasn't in love with it as much as I am now. That's not to say I didn't love it then too, otherwise why would I get it, right lol....Wore it and went to my sisters house and got comments by family immeditely about how they like it. No one did that with my Hulk. Maybe the size of this thing says 'Oi, look at me!' :clap:

No, I just think putting it on this strap makes the dial pop and stand out more. I love the OEM alligator strap too, but this one is already my new favorite. I have a few more in mind to order already!

Thanks for reading :thumbsup:

Gorgeous PAM. Met someone last week who had one on - even more stunning in person! Straps can take a PAM to a whole another level and can alter the personality of a watch so so much!

Enjoy!

You couldn't have put it any better. When I bought the watch it had its original oem black alligator strap which is nice. But when I put on the light brown strap it transformed the watch, made the dial stand out more and I loved it more than when I bought it :clap:

Thanks for all the lovely comments guys :)

Thought I'd change up the look today and put on the oem strap. Time to wear it in I think. Ugh I dunno why but I feel hesitant to wear the oem....but I'm gonna do it!

Heyyy, i know that feeling :joy:

Big congrats on that sexy beast :thumbsup::cheers:

Cru Jones 18 May 2016 08:07 PM

^^ looks great on the gator! :thumbsup:

i've worn my OEM gators in rotation for years and they hold up very well. no worries there.

Minimalist 18 May 2016 09:36 PM

Thanks guys. I guess it's because that I read on some forum someone saying don't wear the original oem strap that comes with the watch because when you come to sell the watch will be worth more. And it just sat in the back of my head.

I never buy my watches with the thought in my mind that I'm going to sell them in the future. I buy to wear them, so here's a another picture to celebrate that! Lol
