You know you have a great watch when...

....You strap it on after not wearing it for a while and it still sings to you.

I've been rockin' the BP since I bought it and decided to wear my PAM last night for dinner. WOW! I saw the 312 in a whole new light when I put it on. I love it as much as the day I bought it....

I hope all of you feel the same way about your watches..

I know exactly what you mean Bryan
I have had my 88 on for most of the last 2-3 weeks and I love it. When I switch back to my Navi World or 292 or Steelfish they always look new and I remember why I got them

Yup...I only have one PAM. It's like a special friend.

I love the 312. If I ever buy a Panerai, this will be it ;-)

Know the feeling Bryan. By coincidence I got my old Heroic 18 strap out - after many months in the draw, and swapped it over. Gave me a whole new feeling wearing my PAM today.

I agree completely Bryan. Whenever I put on a different watch I always have that feeling....some more than others....but always!

I try to wear each one for at least a week....maybe two...to get the full effect!

Did you go all the way and sleep with her or drop her off at the end of the night?

First time putting on the PAM000 on OEM croc strap in a long long time and I loved it.

What a breath of fresh air (from rolex)!

I hear you load and clear B. I'm experimenting with my IIc. I always want to put my sub back on, but the IIc just isn't calling me.

Well I've known you to oscillate on the IIc at times. It's a nice piece and one on the long list for me. I want a GMT in the collection, but there are others to round it out first, namely the Daytona. I liken owning a SUB and a IIc to owning a 312 and a 233...does it make sense to have both???......

Right, my thoughts exactly. When I find myself wanting to put on a Rolex, I grab my 16610 all the time. My 116710 is not my style I'm finding out. Too much shine.

Who knows, I'll keep it for a bit. Might change my mind.
