I get it now .. introducing..

This is my 1st Panerai post. Hello to Panerai enthusiasts here.

Introducing my 1st Panerai to you. I chose zero over 112 being very close 2nd after extensive readings and Internet search. I finally got one, pre-loved with excellent condition R serial delivered this afternoon. Presently surprised with hefty weight and impressed with top-notch finish.

Now I'm excited to see how my life would change with zero!

Congratulations. Great watch. I also got hooked up with Panerai by buying my first, which was 000.

Great choice and welcome to the best brand that's not trendy or being worn by silly pop stars

Congrats! I like my 000 so much that I sold my 510 :D

I picked 000 over sandwich dial, display case back, running second hand, in-house 8-day movement ... it just didn't make sense. LOL

Congrats! Great choice. It's hard to beat the ultra-simplicity, pure utility of the Zero. I love mine (also R-series).
