In love

Well, my story with Panerai is quite unique to me. A year ago I thought these watches were hideous, after handling one in person and reading about them online, I just had to have one. Found one at a great price at an AD. I'm in pure bliss right now! This feeling never gets old. Here is a picture. Just figured I share my happiness on a rainy Friday night.

Thanks guys! The lume is great on this thing and its lines are so elegant. I am looking for a strap that's less formal though. Looking for a tan strap, preferably as thin as the OEM. Any suggestions? Also, having had mainly rolexs, the domed crystal is fascinating to me.

Winner!

And I was the same way in the beginning. Thought Panerai was goofy looking.

Welcome to the club! Funny how they grow on you, and multiply. Then there is the strap thing...
