New to the Panerai world
I've always like the clean look of Panerai watches, nice simple, nothing too crazy, and I have been looking for something as a treat for myself recently and was bouncing back and forth between the Yachtmaster, Navitimer, and the Luminor Marina. As you may have already guessed since I am posting in here which one I went with!
So I took the plunge yesterday and got my first Panerai! a PAM00499.  Looking forward to chatting up with the rest of you guys to learn more about these amazing watches! PS: Where is the best place to get a deployment clasp? I hate having to use the buckle to take this off each time.... Can anyone point me in the right direction? I don't want to get a fake, or be duped by a good replica. I want an OEM, brushed finish if possible. |

Congrats and welcome
I tried one on a couple of weeks back. Fabulous looking watch but didn't suit me at all.

congrats! so crisp and clean.
 and smart move going for a non-conventional PAM choice first, leaving you plenty of options for #2. ;-) as for your buckle question, i'd probably just go to an AD or boutique. you could also consider finding a reputable dealer on p.com. |

Great looking watch, Congrats!
As for your deployment buckle, I'd recommend going to an AD or contacting Panerai on line. But here's a link to some Panerai straps and accessories here on TRF. http://www.rolexforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=29 You might want to also try http://www.paneristi.com/ Dan |
