Hot on the heels of the Sub-C and not being one to let the enthusiasm wane, I thought the best follow up would be a Panerai.

I have a confession... before I became interested in Rolex I had not registered that Panerai existed! Is this usual.. Yes Patel JLC Omega but for some reason Panerai had never come up.

However, after trying on a few at various boutiques in Asia and researching here and other places, the Panerai story is really interesting and I have a soft spot for anything to do with Firenze even though the company is based in Neuchatal Switzerland.

How did I decide on the 104? Not an easy thing with all those numbers but the thinking went this way... need a second hand as I like to see something moving, not yet enough budget for an in-house movement, like a date so 104!

for the future my research has opened up the possibility of the 233 and 422 as I tried one on in Saigon and loved the power reserve on the back and the Sapphire.

So meanwhile here is my J series 2007 Pammy 104 to cherish and enjoy for a while..

It will be interesting to see at what point my wife starts to get both Psychiatrists in for a mental check up )). She cant understand why a person would ever need more than one watch... lunacy.

Nice. The 104 looks a lot like my first PAM, a 164. I wonder what the differences are?

Plus the 164's case is brushed and, I think (but am not 100% sure), it had the quick strap change system earlier.
