Icon10 Is it time yet?

I purchased my first watch about three months ago, a GMT IIC (116710LN.) I absolutely love it, but to be totally honest, it feels a bit formal and scratch-prone to serve as my daily goto. I'll always keep the GMT, but I also want something versatile and sturdy while still being elegant. It's also my birthday on Sunday. So...


I have an appointment tomorrow at 10:00am to pick up a good ol' PAM 000


I always wanted to start with a classic zero, as I know it will be discontinued soon. I hope this was a good first Panerai choice. I'm sure I'll post some pics like a giddy school boy tomorrow.

Congrats on the zero, that watch is my hero! Are you flipping the bling? I have a GMTiic and am dreaming about a 372.

Great choice. If you can avoid worrying about a few dings here and there you should enjoy wearing it.

Thanks everyone. Been busy today so I apologize for the poor pics, but the AD experience was fun this morning and I'm very happy with the 000 after sporting it for a day. I feel much more at-ease wearing this as a daily over my GMTII.
