First Panerai - a 111

Waited and saved for 3 years to get my first PAM - couldn't be a happier bunny!

Sorry for the poor pic... but you get the idea!

Welcome to the club. I was torn between the 111 and 112.

You made a fine choice. The great thing about a PAM is it gets better every day!


Cheers,

Ryan

Congrats on a wonderful piece, nothing wrong with the 112 but i think you will enjoy having a second hand!i'm also looking for another Panny and most likely the 111 or the 177! Also hope you saved up for some straps..... let the fun begin!!

Thanks everyone!

The purchase is certainly always sweeter when it's a quest, when you see the fund building (thankfully, faster than the price rises!) and when you've been looking forward to it for so long!

New strap already purchased (here we go...) and I'll get a couple of pics up - as soon as I can bear taking it off my wrist!
