Another Panerai newb.....First PAM incoming :)

Well, last night while roaming around the mall, my fiance and I decided to pop into Sidney Thomas to have a quick look and try on few PAMs.

Next thing I know, we are being offered a gracious discount, when my amazing fiance whipped out her AMEX and bought me the watch.

It's a PAM 590. The one I've been lusting over for some time now. This is my wedding present from my wife to be

As you may imagine, I am beyond smitten and cannot wait for it to be on my wrist. It is currently enroute to our NY residence

Congrats on both the 590 and the upcoming wedding. What I love most about the 590 is the 8 day reserve and manually winding this every Friday!! Such a joy honestly.
Once you have this on your wrist, I am sure you will be bitten by the strap bug. Very addicting and some great looking straps out there just waiting for your 590.

Can't agree with you more and thanks for the kind words. I just gave it a few winds and it felt great. It's my first full manual watch and it is a great joy to manually wind one.

I am already contemplating few straps: a black croc for a wedding day and oem rubber for watersports just to get started lol.
