Finally...my first Panerai!!!

[Oliva17]

Hi everybody,

I've been on the forum for many months, just reading post and getting myself educated on premium watch. I hooked up with the forum because initially I wanted to get a Rolex, to be more precise a DSSD. I really wanted that watch! Then when I started to look around in the forum I saw the Panerai! At first the look a bit odd to me. Then I got a little interested, then they did look so odd anymore, I continued on looking and at one point I just fell madly in love. At that point the DSSD got kick to the curb.

The problem now was to choose the one I wanted, now that took a year and a lot of reading. It came down to the 321 or 233! The only reason I did not got with the 233 is that I don't like the visual of the dome crystal, that's it! The 8 days power reserve is amazing! So after a lot of debate I got the 321!

Now purchasing this was another story, I look up the WTS section for a long time. I finally got in contact with DRA144 in California. Spoke with Alan and everything was flawless from the beginning. Dealt with David who's the show owner (Alan his is father). These guys are HIGHLY recommended, I was a little nervous at first since this was my first purchase and it was not done face to face. After my initial conversation with Alan, I knew this was going to be flawless.

So that's the story, enjoy a picture of my new girlfriend....
