1st Panerai
I just received my first Panerai from my wife for my 30th birthday. I was torn between keeping it and getting a DSSD, but in the end, I decided to get both. I love this 243. The more and more I look at it, I keep wondering if I am going to even get a DSSD, but I'll wait till it gets to my AD.

Love Panerai BUT I just do not like the submersible ones for some reason.
I have the DSSD and LOVE it! Regardless you are VERY lucky to have a wife to buy you such a beautiful present and there is no way you should return it! Wear it in good health and get the DSSD when finances allow if you still have the itch

I was in an AD over Christmas and they had a 243. I am not a huge fan of the submersible. However, it was very cool to see in person. Congrats!

Beautiful. And, dare I say it on a Rolex forum, a far cooler watch IMHO than the DSSD.
