Panerai 111K first impressions, no pics sorry.

I've recently been on a flipping frenzy, gladly I ended up with a Panerai and I'm settling in this time. I'm loving the 111. This is really new to me, comming from a history of bracelet 40mm watches, I really appreciate the size of this bad boy and the swan neck crown is a real beauty.

I also tried both the leather and the rubber strap, both of are very comfortable. The later being more durable while the first a little more beautiful. No more flipping watches for me but I see quite a few straps on the way.

Yes and that's why I plan to take some of these antibiotics.

Trurolexer, your name/sig combo is what started my Panerai itch. You're one of the reasons that had me sell my GMT IIc for a Panerai. And for that my friend, I thank you. :)

You're welcom, Mohammed.

Sometime change good, right?

So, my prediction is at least one other Panerai this year right, Bro?

Not with the current economic crysis!

Maybe next year, at least I now have something to look for when the stocks pick up.

Yeah, me too...
But if I could, I will go for 190 & 233 this year. And Daytona and Big Pilot next year.
