<<< Happy I took the plunge >>>

Just sitting here admiring this, my first and my only Panerai.

I'm not sure why, but everytime I put this one on, I get a goofy smile

I'm so thankful I came across this forum and it's many insightful (and enabling) members!

to the weekend All!

You don't need any other Panerai if you have this one man. Plus i guess it is impossible to get one like yours nowadays. I really like it Brian!

That’s a helluva way to dive in. The 690 is KILLER. Enjoy!

Super nice, Brian

Looks beautiful. You smile because no other watch looks like a Panerai. I am wearing mine today.

Congratulations Brian! Man that is a stunner. I've been thinking hard about a Panerai for a while now. After seeing them in person in Las Vegas recently, it will definitely be my next piece. Is yours 44 or 42mm? I tried both on in Vegas and still couldn't decide which size I liked better.

Also, I love the Panerai's with all four cardinal directions (3, 6, 9 and 12), but with a sub-dial for seconds and no date. I only like having the date on my daily wearer (in my case an Explorer 2), then all my other watches no date. So much easier to set the time and strap it on without having to worry about setting the date.

Thanks it’s definately been. Ahoy to own this one and I’m so glad I drank the kook aid

It’s a 47mm, but funny enough it doesn’t wear that big ... at least to me
