Adrian you are smart and I am DUMB!!

I never understood the hype behind Panerai, but now I do!! These watches feel awesome on the wrist and look even better!! I have traded away the unworn and unloved SD for a Pam 27C and two straps and a rubber band.

I could not be happier with the deal, this watch is so cool. I love the size and the rubber strap it is on and I love the power reserve on the dial. This was the last model to have it centered on the dial, which makes this watch even cooler!! Here are a few quick and dirty pics, but I have a feeling I will be taking many more pics very soon!

Don't forget the beautiful wood box it comes in.

Congratulations Daren, I hope you enjoy it.

Very nice, Daren. Looks like a real beauty. I find the PAMs a bit too big for me, but that is a nice looking piece, in any event. Wear it well, my friend.

Beauty, Daren. Love the power reserve indicator. I wish Rolex would make one with that feature.

Wear it in good health, my friend.

Cheers - JJ

Did you specifically match the strap to your skin tone, Daren. The PAM really looks nice on the arm, D. Enjoy it.
