Huge congrats!! So glad you went for it! What an awesome PAM. Very happy for you, and thank you for all those amazing pix.

The dial, the font, the crystal, the case, the movement.... Just perfect!! Lucky you. :-)

Well I really do thank you for your insights into this one Paul

This wasn't really on my radar until I saw some of the pictures you posted of your gmt (I'm so sorry I'm not very good with the model numbers of Panerai yet).

Thanks my friend, for taking time out of your vacation to answer some of my questions and give me your insights into this specific reference.

Thanks Cru, I really want to thank you as well.

I know you don't think of yourself as an expert, but I appreciate your opinion and to me you are.

I really appreciate you giving me your thoughts on this one and I'm glad I pulled the trigger

Thank brother I really took an interest when this one was released at Basel last year. I'm sure I'll get into strap mania soon enough but for now I'm going to enjoy it on this one.

They haven a lot of nice references don't they? What's on your radar?

This is a really dumb question but do you guys wear these straps in the water or do you change over to a rubber strap or something of that sort

Hi brotheristi don't use the leather strap for swimming,as nick said use the rubber strap, you can buy kodiac strap special for swimming
