Earlier this summer I decided I wanted a nice watch. I read way too much and eventually decided a Rolex was what I wanted.

And then I ran across Panerai and got hooked. I bought a 104 and liked it but never felt it was the right one. I then got a radiomir. Close but the size and fragility kept me looking.

I always liked the GMT but felt the current model was a little too much watch plus I really wanted a jubilee band.

I put the Pam up for a trade feeler and got lucky the first hit was exactly what I was looking for!

Great first one.

Ah so refreshing...Pepsi...a bit sweeter than Coke...but it is all too much to quench GMT fever.
