I never had the itch for an 88, but it sure is nice.

The 88 is a classic.
I see that is a new J series with the quick release strap.
Very nice.
The new auto Rad is also a great looking watch.
Enjoy

Yes, all the new luminors are supposed to have the new changing system. I have this on my 233, and it is sooooo easy to push the pins out & swap straps.

I was the same way. First Panerai was a luminor, but fell in love with the Radiomirs later.

With exception of the Base models, ie Logo... 111, 112 etc etc etc have the old system.

Congrats Senna, gorgeous watch.. wear with the best of health

Not sure yet. I have some straps on the way from ABT and more from GS when he gets back so will have a play then.

Loving the watch so far

That is one of my favourite models from the Panerai range. Such a lot of watch at a "sensible" price but the strap collecting thing can get addictive (I had 4 for my 111 before it went).

John, did you ever do those extra pictures of your fantastic PAM 98 ? Now that really does look like a stunning watch
In fact this PAM 88 looks good too..........
