Panerai Journey

[100thmonkey]

Having been introduced to Panerai way back in 2003 by a mate who said he thought they might be re-emerging I always loved the strong DNA and military association and despite having had many other brands in a plethora of styles I always find myself coming back to the Pam, been a great journey so far and long may it continue. No doubt once the boutique opens in London this year the UK awareness will increase (probably with the price) but I think Panerai are now settling down and learning hard and fast from any previous mistakes to deliver some absolute belters to compliment any watch collection.

Haters and slaters need not apply, lovers and droolers enjoy but a small selection of past and present.

I tried a 243 on once...I think it was as thick as my wrist

243 is a very toppy watch, theres a certain charm about it but you have to live and embrace the wrist wobble with that one

Lovely collection, thanks for the pictures.

Love Panerai's. Am currently close on adding a PAM312 but not agreed on the value of a PAM0098 I want to trade.

Have you bought any additional non-official Panerai straps & any recommendations?

In Uk I think Richard Beard http://toshi-straps.co.uk/ is one of the finest, overseas I have had stuff from Jabba & Gunny, both alright but long wait, so I stick to UK now and Toshi is the 'goto'
