1st PAM

[alignyc]

I just bought a PAM01360 from the local boutique and am very pleased with it.

I was shopping and popped in to try it on LAST weekend. Oh it fits really nice for 44mm I was shocked. Affordable too. Ok, I like it. I also knew i could buy it online for $2200 less, brand spanking new, too.

Then I went to AP and it threw me for a loop. I wanted what I can't have and was thinking about it. Didn't want to buy the wrong ROO.

So at a business dinner tuesday, a coworker who is literally Captain America at our publicly traded global company that i'm just "mids" in and he notices my watch - the swatch omega mission to the superblue moon collab - so we start talking and of course he wears a G-shock - nothing fancy.

I pull up a few that I think he would like and the Panerai was one of them.

The next day, wednesday he talks with me and says he wants that watch i showed him, wants the info. Within 3 hours he bought it and it's being shipped.

Wow. I'm sort of jealous.

He's still in town I'm supposed to see him tonight - so guess who ran to the store?

That's right. But I bought the bitempo with blue gmt hands and he did not spend the same type of money and bought a used PAM01033 for half of what I paid retail.

The Mgr remembered me. I told him how I can buy it for so much less but I'd like to have the relationship. Not interested in champagne or books but we can talk straps so I walked out of there with a few extra really nice ones.

Took it off the navy alligator and put it on the orange officine band - corp colors.

Dude is going to dye when he sees it. He only knows I showed it to him, never knew if i had it or not because he knows i have a few - but this will be nice to sort of peacock with it for a bit.

** Below are pics of his and my models for those that didn't know **

Anyway - love this watch!! Love it!

Congratulations that’s a lovely timepiece. Just out of interest what is the dude going to ‘dye’ his hair or his watch strap?

[brandrea]

Congratulations, enjoy it

I love Panerai ! Congrats

Nice watches! Be careful about swimming with the big fish. Don’t go bust on watches. Keeping up with the Joneses is dangerous. But enjoy your watch. You only live once.

sorry i'm slow catching this - see below on the orange official strap and the aftermarket chocolate alligator strap from rubber b.

*true story - they were sold out online, i went to their hq offices and got the last one they had!!! (off the wall)

[Cru Jones]

Nice, congrats!

Congrats on your first! The blue dials are some of my favorite-looking PAMs. I recently got a PAM01231 and P00661. Those were my first, and I have to say I quickly fell in love with the brand!

Congrats again and enjoy!

Thanks for sharing. I have been pondering the idea of getting a PAM just to some fun strap colours.

Congrats.

buying a panerai just to wear it on fun straps is a very baller move if i do say so myself lol.

you can get a good one for about 4k with the saphire crystal case back but it would have a black flat dial. for a little more you can get a sunbrushed/sunburst one.

lmk what you do - that's cool af.

Looks great on both straps! Really like seeing the chocolate one in sunlight, may be the push I needed to pick one up for myself!

i can't tell you how pleased i am with that watch and i was really amazed at how many times i went to the safe to put it on vs. any of the other ones i have.

just got a new gmt on sunday and that is really the fattest ever so it's going to be capitalizing wrist time more than anything.
