That one doesn't look very "sandwichy", may just be the camera angle though.

I believe the 176 G was painted dials (400 units)

Me too...
Congrats. After having to decide between 176 and 177, I decided on 176 as well. Love the simplicity of base, and the brushed titanium finish and hopefully lighter weight. All Panerai's are beautiful, its having to narrow it down to just one. There is only one first PAM.
Mine should be coming in tomorrow.

::

Now for the strap hunt.
Wotancraft vs MP? Wow the straps are a beautiful in and of themselves.

I think it is H. G's were the last year. I could be wrong.

Congratulations! I love my 177. It took a while to track one down, but it was definitely worth the wait.

My dealer had a 177 on the shelf.....
And I said no, it has to be the 176.

When you know, you know, and that's the end of it.

I pledge to not start strap hunting until I get the 176.

But, I do like the black ones with blue stitching......

and me...
Excellent choice IMO

Picked mine up yesterday... love the simplicity of the base dial.

I was going to flip the 312 and get the 372, but thought this would give a better balance to the small collection very happy with my choice.

Now, I'm looking for a nice black strap to go with it... any suggestions? :)
