First Panerai - 774

Always liked the base logo and decided to pick this one up.

Before I get killed for not finding an older one, here me out. Did my research and I know they dropped the water resistance and the screw back case. Besides that though, it has what I was looking for. Perfectly clean dial with no seconds hand. Blue logo. Sandwich (or sandwich style) dial. They swapped that gray textile strap for blue gator and the black rubber is a nice option.

Frankly didn't want to spend a lot, but always wanted a Panerai and this seems perfect for my small collection.

Some things I didn't know based on some conflicting things I had read online:

- Thought these current base models didn't use screws for the straps.
- Didn't know that the straps have metal tubes. That is very cool.
- Had read that the lume was applied not recessed in the dial, but this is clearly inside the numbers rather than printed on top.
- 8 year warranty is nice

I also suddenly feel the need to buy lots of straps. I think that's pretty common once you get a Panerai.
