Just picked up a PAM005..my first Panerai

Hi guys,

Been a long time Rolex fan, but always had an itch for a panerai.

Appreciate it's an entry level piece but very happy with my PAM005. Now for the strap shopping

Here's a little pic

Just picked up a PAM005..my first Panerai

Beautiful watch and love the base logo on the dial. Like you I am a Rolex fan but recently bitten by the Panerai bug.I love the Marina dial.

Congrats! I love the Fiver! If I hadn't gone with the Zero I would have chosen the 005.

Now enjoy the strap addiction that follows.
