PAM01537 - First Panerai

I stopped by the excellent Panerai Boutique (attached to the David Rosas watch boutique) while visiting Lisbon this week. While I had looked at Panerai's previously, I had not been too serious about purchasing one because I find most a little large for my wrist size. However the 42 mm models intrigued me and looking at the online I knew I wanted to try some on.

While in the boutique, the extremely helpful but not at all pushy sales associate did a great job walking me through the different models. I indicated a GMT model would be of particular interest, especially in 42 mm. She showed me several, but the PAM01537 really caught my eye. I really liked the blue second hand that was added to this model. The Power Reserve indicator on the dial was also something I quite liked. The GMT function with the forward and reverse quick 1 hour adjustments was also very slick. I thought it fit my wrist well too. The sales associate made me take a long hard look at the larger models as she indicated some people do come back wanting a larger model after buying a smaller one, but I was sold on the 42 mm. It hit all the right marks for me.

I did pick up a second strap as well, in grey. It really compliments the watch nicely and, as all you Panerai fans know, it gives the watch a whole different look.

I've been given my new Pan a lot of wrist time while here in Lisbon and I'm sure it will as once I'm back at home.

Nice watch. Check out the 40mm versions of the GMT like the 244 if you ever see one for sale. They wear much better than the larger ones in my opinion.
