Warning: There is a Panerai pic inside. :-)

I got a new strap for the 88. Gives it a bit of a sporty dress look and feel. I really think this croc is as good as the OEM ones that I have. Quite nice and from a really good guy selling it.

I saw this exact same watch at Mansor's the other day when I went to pick up my new Sub. He let me hold it in my hand and I was very impressed with the overall finish and heft of the watch.

Although I have now decided 100% NEVER to buy anything but Rolex, I shall always admire Pannies for their finish and QC. I'm surprised how some guys do have problems with these watches. Even David (Mansor) spoke very highly about them...and he's a professional watchmaker by trade.

Some things fit people like peanut butter and jelly. When I think of JJ, I think of a smile and a Rolex, usually TT.
