The Panerai Source Forums

Here are the pictures from my very first Panerai. THANK YOU SERGIO! This PAM 312 is really nice. The contrast between the brushed case and polished bezel is very nice. Large and commanding on my 7 1/2" wrist. looks a lot bigger than it really is, because of the 1950's case. Having never owned a Panerai (expecially the new models) I am INSTANTLY in love with the strap change setup. Why cant other makers do something like this?? (hear me Breitling?) The factory croc strap has to be fastened in the second to the last hole for my wrist. The last pics are of a strapluxe brand buffalo strap. It is noticably thicker than OEM and is a pretty decent buy at less than $100.

After polishing and bathing my Evo (just before boxing it up and shipping it off to the new owner), I wondered if I was doing the right thing by selling my Navi World and the Evo. Todays delivery confirmed that I made the right choice for me. Loving this new watch.

Also, the lume on this watch is a freakin TORCH! Just cupping my hand over the dial in the daylight show a glowing set of markers!

This strap deal is gonna get expensive! (TedSu hornback is on the way!)

Nice one!!! I didn't know Sergio already sent that one packin.

Yep, and it didn't take a lot of arm twisting to get a great deal on it! This watch is so cool. I am so glad I waited to get a model with the date, auto and in house movement. Only real problem is the likely strap addiction.

Awesome!!! ...

Strap addiction is not a problem.. its a solution! Instead of spending thousands on a new watch, a hundred on a new strap often gives temporary relief from Watch Addiction!

I noted the word " temporary" ....
