My First Panerai - Happy Incoming!
So I start a thread not too long ago asking for opinions on the 292 vs. 505. I have been completely enamored and infatuated with both of these watches for about a year.
Here is the thread... Anyhow, with a huge thank you to RUpanerai (Brian Lau), I end up getting a brand new PAM292. I could not be happier with it, and on a side note could not have been happier with the care and attention I received from Brian in purchasing the watch. I will post something in the feedback section about him ASAP. This watch has exceed my expectations in every regard. It wears well, looks amazing, keeps excellent time (roughly +1 SPD over the past week or so), and has a power reserve every bit advertised. I've put aside the OEM black strap for now and have been happily wearing it with a brown asso strap which is slightly fulfilling my fix for the 505. Best of both worlds right? Here are some random pics I've taken since I received the watch. I'll add more when I can. Thanks and enjoy!

I think you actually did it perfectly. I have been envying this combo myself. I like the sub seconds dial, no date dial with the brown asso strap. If I was going to go with a DLC or composite piece, this is the way I would go.

So much so that I've pulled the trigger on one (despite having a 380 on order too). Will definitely swap the black strap for a brown one too. Anyone have solid recommendations for a nice brown strap?

Congrats! Great pics.
Makes me miss mine as well. I unfortunately had a dud though. Went back for service 3+ times, was never right, I got frustrated and sold it. Your images certainly make me want to give it another go!

I bought my strap from Panatime and IMO the quality is amazing, especially for the money ($50). I had an opportunity to buy OEM but after making such a big purchase I just didn't feel like adding salt to the wound with the cost of OEM. I wouldn't have mind spending upwards of $100 or even $150 but it's damn hard to find a 26/22 asso strap that fits the Radiomir well. Anyhow, in retrospect I wouldn't have done it any different! Post some pics. |
