My First Panerai

I was always nervous about this brand. Numerous limited editions, a lot of models that look very similar and of course some of the case sizes.


Now, with that being said. An opportunity came up for me to snag a 3 year old 297 on a steel bracelet for a great price.


My first impressions are what a watch!! The wrist presence is superb and I absolutely love the tapered steel bracelet.

I’m glad I took the leap and NOW understand what all the fuss is about lol.
