New arrival -pam 359

my new pam arrived today from blowers (great to deal with!)- the 359 - this the watch that attracted me to panerai's in the first place and I feel so fortunate to have been able to pick one up.

here are a couple of shots - on the wrist - looks really smart with a cuffed shirt.

i love the strap, the threads match the brown dial.

side by side my 177 - i know its another luminor but the two watches are really so different

Great pick up and looks good on you. I was having a look at one the other day. Love the dial ....and I agree about the strap. Enjoy!

Congratulation!!
This particular model I didn't like, in the picture. but when I saw it in the flesh, BLEW me away!!! She's gorgeous, and the "dirty dial" was confusing to me. I originally thought because of the Arabic numerals that make the dial look dirty but instead it's the lume that's "dirty" and it's awesomely dirty. A great vintage look on a modern watch.

Nice looking pair! I have a 351, and may have to pick up a 359 as a nice switch up.
