Very nice Matt,

I like the lighter style of the Radiomir and am wearing my 231 today.

I'm sure this small Panerai sub-forum will excite you as it has excited Chris.

Enjoy wearing it but hold on to those Rolex.

Dear Oom,the 231 would hardly qualify as light wearing in the Radiomir range.Considering,I would wear the 231 everyday.Hold on to what ?? Not much substance to hold on anyway.....and its not excitement,its passion.Regards,Nefie

Oscar,

Thank you brother........Don't worry, I'm a hardcore Rolex guy, just bought another one today, about an hour ago! But I will say this, my PAM is on my wrist right now, and It's quite impressive........

Thanks everyone for all the kind words, and support!

Matt

That was my first Panerai as well - glad you are enjoying it. I am sure we will see your collection notch up now that you have caught the bug :)
