Current Panerai Collection and Straps

I have been a Panerai Fan since the early 2000's and have owned a lot of different models. I have had some breakups from the brand for too many reasons to list but I have always liked the design language and wear. It seems that my spot with the brand is somewhat older models but I am always looking at new releases. I have found a lot of value in pre-owned as we all know that the values of most Panerai watches drop like a rock, then stabilize and even come back some. Part of the fun with Panerai is the straps. Having been a fan for the better part of 20 plus years it is easy to have a few straps. I currently own a 233, 317, 162, 992 and a 590. The numbers have creeped up on me but I do like them all. I might add a diver but for now I am good.

Thanks for sharing! Love the variety of all the straps as well. Is that an OEM yellow croc?

Nice - you must be an expert at fast strap swaps.

Very impressive. You should get a newer Panerai with the quick-change strap design so you could add another 10 straps.

Thanks to all for the nice comments. The Yellow strap is indeed an OEM Alligator. Changing straps is easier with practice but sometimes can still take a minute.

Love the strap assortment!
So addictive once you get the PAM bug.

Love the collection, thanks for sharing.
Out of all the watches that have come and gone in my collection I miss the Pams the most.

Love it, William.

My PAMs are my most-worn watches for several years running now. I found a few straps I really love and that helped curb my strap acquisition habits. I like your strap collection a lot tho, it’s fantastic.

OP, super sharp Panerai collection. I have a similar story. Started 20 years ago, and have been through 30 or so Panerai. Just picked up an older Radiomir today. Lots of value in early preowned pieces. Todays pick up.

A little late to the party I see, nice collection. And that’s alot of straps indeed. I thought I had too many w the measly 10 for my 111. I do have a 170 but I think I prefer that one the way it came on SS bracelet.
