First Panerai Purchase PAM90

Hello everyone this is my first post. i have been comming to this site for quite some time now. I first started in the Rolex section then moved into the Panerai section, just to get some info on the watch and quickly fell for them. it was love at first sight. I did not know which model to get, so I broused around and got some helpful information from TRF. i want to firstly thank everyone in the forums for giving good advice and information. It made my first Panerai purchase an easy one.

Now for my story, i went to my AD on saturday to see if they had the Rolex GMT II. My sales guy told me that he could get one for me within 2 days. i continued to look in the display area when i stumbled onto the PAM 90. it was sitting there looking at me like a puppy needing a new home. i quickly asked the salesman to please,please let me try it on. WHAOOOO, what an awesome watch. i could not resist so i took it home with me. i will try to show some pics when i learn how to post them. in the mean time thank you, you have transformed into a Panerai fan.

Congrats, cool choice. Wear it with Pride and PASSION. Now watch out for the strapaholic syndrome that has been known to grab us Paneristi.

The Pam 90 is one of the nicest looking Luminors.
