My First Panerai!!
I have been loving Panerais since shortly after my Rolex Sub purchase 7 years ago from this forum (justrolexes, Tony). I was finally able to pull the trigger. I ended up with a PAM 1359.
I was lucky enough to be able to try on both the 359 and 1359 before purchasing. I actually preferred the slightly thinner case and the ecru coloring on the dial on the 1359. The blue second hand is a nice touch too. This thing will not leave my wrist for a long time. A huge thank you to Addy616 for making the buying experience easy. |

So true, all I have been doing is looking at straps. What are your thoughts about 3rd party straps on a Panerai? I'll probably get one more OEM (brown leather) and then who knows. It seems it is widely accepted here to have non Panerai straps??

Congrats! I tried on the 1312 at local AD and love the slimmer case, and I love the numerial dial of "359"

Good choice, OP. Welcome to PAM ownership and, as our Panerai Enabler-in-Chief (Cru to his mates) has said, start looking for some straps to switch things up. I highly recommend John Glance: http://dangerous9straps.blogspot.com He's not the cheapest and he takes about 12 to 16 weeks to complete an order but damn, it's worth the wait!
