My first panerai (388)

Received my first Panerai today. Sold the Presidential back to the original owners family (which is nice they can keep it in the family. Had it for 4+yrs) and picked up a gorgeous 388. It was a pleasure doing business with DonnieD. I can't stop taking pictures and staring at it. I was going to do some day trading again and pick up another Presidential but based on this experience, I might just stick with PAM's :) Is there anything I should know about it? Any hints for a newbie Paneristi? It's only 1 yr old and came with everything :) Don even threw in another strap and the strap tool!

A real beauty, congrats. My advice would be to get another PAM

Its amazing how different watches can look in real life compared to studio internet shots.

I've looked at that watch many times on the Panerai website and it looks completely different in the wrist shots above.

Different in a good way, in fact a brilliant way - now I want one!

Congratulations, the 388's look awesome!
