Finally back to Panerai after a long hiatus... And am I loving it!!!

Hi guys,

Last enjoyed a PAM 164 sometime in 2007 and then a PAM 312 in 2011. Since then I have only had the AP SS Novelty and the Ceramic orange diver with a trusted Omega seamaster which is my daily beater.
Owning a new Panerai was not something I had really planned for, however, when exchanging New year wishes with my Local AD we just discussed watches and I said I was thinking of getting a Panerai now but needed something special. I looked on the forums and decided the 587 was the best new Panerai out there.
I told the AD of my interest and had them put me on their list. Had since forgotten and did not expect to hear back.
Obviously was surprised when then called me saying a 587 had just come in and I had 1st preference over a decent waiting list. I would have had to confirm within 2 days however.
Anyways to cut a long story short, I visited the boutique and after trying it on there was no turning back. I did not even take it off to get the stickers removed :-)
Since then this watch has been on my wrist forever. I even keep it by my bedside as the beautiful bright lume is absolutely worth staring at :-)
Some cellphone pics I have taken with more to follow later....
I must thank the 587 owners on this forum as I would not have known of this beauty had it not been for you guys :-)

I've said it many times, but I really think there needs to be a PAM in every collection. The brand can tick me off in a lot of ways, but it is a special one.
