First Panerai arrived @Pam223 and super excited.
My journey in watch collection started with an skx009. Two years later I have a dozen Seikos, a few Omegas, a Sub and GMTiiC and Tudors. My first ever Panerai arrived just over 2 weeks ago and it's been on the wrist everyday. Never been so excited about a watch that I ordered 20 straps before it even arrived. Been reading reviews by some 233 owners in this forum. Shout out to them. This Pam 233 will never leave my collection.
PS. Been trying to upload photos but somehow it won't let me to it |

Congrats! 233 is one of the best. Those quick strap change buttons will help you easily cycle through those 20 straps.

Thanks Cru. Your postings on 233 made it easier to decide on my first Panerai. And yes the quick release system is so intriguing. It took less than a minute to change the straps.

Congrats, the 233 is a great choice
Good to see that you jumped straight into 'strap madness' like a true Paneristi

Ha ha thanks mate. It's an awesome piece. Gotta get another 44mm Pam so I can recycle the straps. Here wishing for a 44mm Submersible with a ceramic bezel. One day maybe.

You're not alone, as change straps according to outfit. So about once a day or so.

233 is IMO the best PAM to own. Congrats!
