Wearing my new Panreai 00K
 

I got it today, and it feels HUGE on my wrist. The search was long and tireless but I finally found something I think I will enjoy. I ended up with a BNIB 00K from a known dealer over on the Paneristi forum. I would be taking pictures right now but I have no idea were my wife left the camera, when I find it I will post some pics. I am really feeling the weight, I guess I am not used to it. The first thing I did was to take off the leather strap and put one the rubber, I do live in Arizona and about half my life is spend in the pool, yes I am exaggerating but I swim a lot. Right now I am trying to figure out if the ti model (176) might have been a better fit for me just so I don't feel the weight as much, but I think I will get used to it and learn to love it. Anyway, it feel great to own my first Pam, and I have a feeling that my Rolex models might be collecting some dust for a while.

Oh, and I already bought my first aftermarket strap, a nice vintage looking piece, I am so excited.

Congrats Trevor... I believe you will not only get used to the weight but will end up liking the heavier feel. You picked out a very cool watch. The zero is a PAM staple!

CONGRATS on a fine piece! :cheers: I assure you that you'll become comfortable with the size of the watch. I know I just love my 45mm Radiomir (190). It didn't take long for me so get used to. :thumbsup:

Can't wait to see some pics!

:bye:

Nice looking trio!

It looks great on your wrist! It works. I plan on getting a similar model- the 112 at some point. I'm doing it backwards though since I got the 190, then plan on getting a 233 next.

HUGE CONGRATS, TREVOR!!!

Nice trio you have!!! Now, time for you to hunt some straps!!!

Congrats Trevor!! nice trio and welcome to the 000 club :cheers: :thumbsup:

Don't worry about the size and weight of the watch in a couple of days is going to feel like is a part of you!! :clap: :clap:

Congrats Trevor, as already stated you will soon love the weight. Great choice with the Zero and wear in the best of health. :cheers:

Huge congrats on the tripple zero Trevor !!! :clap::thumbsup:

Welcome to the most wonderful and weird panerai world !!! :thumbsup::cheers:

Weight ?? .. Once you are used to PAM on the wrist,the others will feel tiny and ' just not right ' anymore !! :chuckle: It takes a day or two to get used to the "feel" and then it just feels wonderful !! :thumbsup:

Enjoy !!!! :cheers:

very nice trevor! BIG? i felt just like you when i first worn my 90....(biggest watch was 40mm and below) now i think this 44mm is just rite for my wrist! And when i wear my rollies they look like boy size on me..:chuckle:

Congratulations from one Pam newbie to another. Like the other guys have said, you will get used to the size and weight in no time.:cheers:

You will get so used to the size that the Rollies will feel puny on your wrist.

It kind of takes the wind out of your sails.

But in time you will get back to the Rollies and appreciate them too.

i have a fondness for both brands.

Thanks guys for the replies, I am really liking the simplicity of the 000. I do have ongoing thoughts in the back of my head with the 176, that is the one I was initially planning to buy before I looked hard at the 000, man that watch was comfortable on my wrist. I am getting used to the weight though, like you all said I would, it's just different.

Having the 000 does not exclude the 176.Thats the advantage ( disadvantage ?? :chuckle::chuckle:) of Panerai.We seldom end up with one only !! Usually the second and third soon follow !! :chuckle::thumbsup::cheers:

Pam 00 is the best. i like it so much.

A very warm welcome to the forum !! :thumbsup::cheers:

Congrats... looks great... it is the simplicity of the Panerai that makes it so special... less is more..
u beed to takr your pam shopping for some new outfits...
and soon for a new friend

Welcome!!!
 

Welcome aboard Jason!! :cheers:

Hi Jason - welcome...

Trevor, the good news about the 176 - is that it is regular production which means... It will be around for quite awhile and won't be difficult to pick up down the road....

Nice 000 Trevor.

Enjoy wearing it.:thumbsup:

Trevor already sold that 000. If you read this Buddy...You're The REAL Flipper...:agree::thumbsup::cheers:

:rofl: :chuckle: I know, but I have a 176 on the way. The 176 is the one I initially wanted, I should have followed my heart from the beginning. The 000 is a stunning watch, and I liked it very much, but I could not shake the 176 out of my head. After I bought the 000 I kept staring at pics of the 176 and 177 on the computer, that is how I knew that I bought the wrong watch for me. In a few days I will be wearing a 176, and I know I will be 100% satisfied with my purchase. :clap:

Yes, you will enjoy 176!!! Great watch!!!:thumbsup:
Don't forget to show us your upcoming 176 after you receive it.:read:

Now THAT is a good looking watch. It won't feel huge for long, trust us...

Big congrats and nice collection.

GMT, Sub and a painted Luminor. We have good taste!!!
:lol:

Hope You Enjoy It Trevor.......
