First PAM incoming - 973 Submersible
I’ve always dug the aesthetic, but I tend to stay away from 44mm-plus these days, so I had never tried on any of the Panerai models until very recently. The 1950s case is definitely my speed. I like the brushed stainless steel on the 973 and it’s a relatively svelte 13.22mm thick. Extremely comfortable on the wrist. Love the strap, but I’m looking forward to throwing it on some different NATOs and whatnot. Fun watch! |

Love the new Submersibles. Seriously, I think it was great that Panerai broke it out of the Luminor line.
Congrats on the grab, and enjoy it in good health!! |

Thanks, guys!
It’s great on the wrist and I definitely dig the blue text over the white on the 682. Haven’t taken it off yet. |

Congrats!
I had a 682. The 42 Subs are a great size. |

Congratulations that's a great first Panerai.
My Pan is getting moe wrist time than any of my other watches at the moment. Plus you're bang on the number; enjoy changing the straps around as it totally changes the dynamics of the watch. You cannot beat the Pan strap market. It's like getting a new watch every 6 months. Enjoy and wear in good health.
