Newbie here!

Hey guys, I've lurked around these forums for a while getting as much input as I could. I knew some about Panerai before I came here but my knowledge has since grown since I've read all of the great info you guys post on here. So, 1st off I would like to say thank you to all of the info that is posted on here it is amazing! 2nd of all I have finally caved in and i bought my first Panerai. It is an 111 and I absolutely love it!! I cannot stop staring at it!

I'm just absolutely overjoyed but enough is enough, here are a few pictures...









Thanks for looking!!!

Great choice! Nice pics as well. I was torn between the 111 and 005. I chose the logo, but I think it looks wonderful without, as well!

Welcome!

Congratulations. The 111 is an all time classic.

As for straps I would say you must hv at least one gator and the OEMs are the best IMHO. Changes the character of the Luminors immensely.
