My new 372
This is my new PAM372 which I have bought used. It's a November 2016 model in great condition. It has the plexiglass which was a must have for me as I love the warm refractive index of plexiglass over the sapphire crystal fitted on the new 2017 models.
It's pretty big on my wrist but I think it works and that's difficult to convey in photos. I love the vintage qualities of this watch - the 1950's cushion case, the so called "dirty dial". It's big but highly elegant and stylish with bags of military chic. I have an aftermarket strap fitted for now. The watch came with the extra plexiglass but not the original straps. I'm getting Richard at Toshi to make me a couple of nice straps and I also fancy the Panerai calf assolutamente fitted on the current model. I'll post some photos from my Tapatalk app.

Congratulations, looks excellent. Fits the wrist well, too. My next PAM grab when the circumstances permit. Loved it upon its release.

Thank you. I see you have the original strap on your beautiful 372. Do you know the name of that strap? I would like to get one if possible. Thanks.

Do Panerai regularly change the standard issue strap with the 372?
I'm sure early versions used to come with a lighter shade - almost Tan colour with a suade effect to it? Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

This is an aftermarket strap. The current strap is like a tan suede effect - called assoluatamente I believe.
