It has arrived!!!

OK
Well you all have already read my story of leaving Panerai for a couple years and jumping back in the other day with a 111 but that being traded in under 24 hrs.

Well here it is, I always wanted a 243J (last Trit dial and quick change strap) and I worked a trade and this just arrived a few minutes ago.

The rubber strap fit better than I had expected with me having smaller wrists but I saw a post on another forum with someone sporting a 243 with a Jean strap and I liked the look so I quickly mounted this on a Jean strap I purchased right before I sold my 233 and never go to wear.

So...
Now the REAL ?
Can I pull off a PAM382 AKA BRONZO!! ???????

Please excuse the horrid pics but about as good as I can do.

Looks good Jeremy!
Congrats...
I actually think the Bronzo wears larger than the 243

The Bronzo is 47 mm.
I am really wondering if I can manage to pull it off.
It is a STUNNING watch!!

i personally think it is slightly too big. the lugs overhangs the edges of your wrist.

then again, your money/watch - its all good as long as you are happy.

Looks good J. Just go to an AD and test drive a 305. If it fits you and you are happing with it, the 382 will be fine.
