Oh... now I get it......
So I'm mainly a Rolex guy. Fairly obvious since I'm here on TRF I suppose. I've had a couple of Omegas but generally Rolex is what floats my boat.
Well I recently became Panerai-curious. It felt a little dirty but I liked it. Haha. Anyway, this arrived today and wow, it's beautiful. No pictures seem to do these justice. It is just stunning in person. Strap is very stiff but I guess if I only wear this watch for the next month or so that should take care of itself! |

Congratulations and welcome to the PAM side. That could just be the start of things ;)

Congratulations from a convert. When you do get it, you get it! OEM Straps do soften, but then you could look at the 4000 strap makers!!

LOL - probably have twice as many straps as this now....
As opposed to 312 look at something manual as a future partner. |

Nice!
I've owned four Pams in the past, great watches and very fun to play around with straps.

Welcome to the Dark Side. Be warned, now you've got your first one it's a slippery slope to the next.
You need to be especially aware of that naughty Mr. Jones (our Panerai Enabler-in-Chief) and his principal henchman Nick. If Nick posts THAT picture, you'll be on your way to the boutique for a 372 before you know what day it is

Here's one of Alfio's (Bakeka) straps. They get even better with age.
