Mrs Minis Pannies

Here is the wifes 2 Panerai's
The white one is actually a PAM51 without the bracelet. We opted for a blue gator. Those pics will follow later.



Not the best lighting, so I tried some subtle angle changes to try to avoid glare. One was with the flash.

The white dial is great for the various colour straps she has.

Awesome watches and awesome photos!!

Do you think the white dial creates the illusion of the watch being bigger than it really is? ie does it make it wear bigger????

Not quite the way you react when you get close to a sheep.

Despite what our resident BKL would expect, they're very nice, John. Now how about some wrist shots so we can get the full and proper effect.

I really, really like that 24mm gator! Beautiful colour!

BTW Amanda, I've had a white dial 44mm base on my wrist and IMO the white does give the illusion of big, but in a good way. I can't say how it would work on a 40mm version but even at 40mm the PAM51 is a thick watch, but again, in a good way.

That strap is supposed to be RED.
The picture in the middle shows its true colour.

So John, does Mrs. LM/Little LM have more straps for that 51 than you have for your Luminors?

Collectively, I now have more "spare" straps for my Luminors ( with one more still to arrive)

Awesome pic John...

Aside from your beloved 98, which PAMs get the next most amount of wrist time? And the least?

Wear time has changed since adding the Greg Straps.
Probably in order of time worn
1 - 98 GMT Alarm
2 -3 Tied - The two logos -000 & 005
4 - Very close behind those is the 113 ( white dial on the brown strap
5 - 104. But getting a bit more
6 - 210 Missing in action for the last month. But might rank #2 if I count Al's wearing time.
7 - SS Sub

There are many days, when I get home and change watches

There are some days where I get home and change straps, then change again the next morning.

If you send me the 98 I'll send you the 210 so it can catch back up to the #2 position? Deal, or no deal?

Let me wait until storm season is over. I am setting this as my primary alarm now adays, as I cannot trust the electricity reliability in the area lately

Yes, but you appear to be an "engineer in training" so I would expect that from you!
