My First Pam!!!
I've always loved the look of PAMs but never tried them on because on paper, it was always to big. I'm sure that there are others out there that are/were in the same mind frame as me. So I encourage anyone out there to try them on...because as we all know too well, it's all about how it wears on the wrist.

After trying on a few models and learning more about Panerai in general over the past two months ago, I pulled the trigger. This ref just ticked off so many things I was looking for in my first PAM and in general, any watch.

Happy to be part of the club. And yes...I changed straps mid-day just because.

super choice. Like the brown strat also. Try it on the rubber. All my pams except my 372 are on rubber. I think the panerai rubber is super comfy.

Love your first choice! Isn't it great to change straps on the fly? So easy to change the look of your watch.

Great to be able to change straps...almost literally on the fly! Changed it back to leather before jumping in my cab on the way to the airport!Name: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1442927125.095672.jpg Views: 150 Size: 76.1 KB
