I, like others, took the plunge from Rollie to PAM. I have a 183 on the way from Beverly Hills and in the purchase they through in a couple straps and the deployment I wanted. I have a black gator and the JV nubuck coming with it, but wanted to find out what the pro's think about tubes. Use them or not? Do the OEMs come with them (will find out today when it's delivered I guess), do the OEMs work with tubes? Any other upgrades or tools I should get for "best strap use / swaps?

Thanks guys, will post pics when I receive it and get it fit.

Best,
VB

Use masking tape on your watch prior to any strap adjustments...you'll be glad you did!!

You have to check out the golden/honey hornback from Ted Su. It's awsome on the Radiomirs!!!

Congrats!

Thanks gang, got the watch tonight and it's great. I had the boutique put the black gator on, but the golden JV is awesome looking.

Quick iPhone pics, more to come later.....

In the store

At home

Had the 183 for a few days now and still over the moon. Took a few shots this weekend.

Rockin' it on the OEM Black Gator with the deployant:

Very nice. Panerai doesn't give out tubes when you purchase a strap. But rads don't use straps anyway, so you are good.

how good does that look

That's a fantastic looking watch: one of my favorites. Do you mind me asking approximately how much one would cost buying in S. Cal. I'm from Canada, and would like to know the price difference. Thanks.

Wow, lovely piece. The 183 would be my first RAD when the time comes =)

Thanks for sharing and congrats on the pick-up
