My first Panerai landed!
WOW.......... is all that I can think!!!
My Panerai journey Phase 1: When I got serious about watch collecting, I dismissed Panerai..... Phase 2: As I continued to have more appreciation for design, craftsmanship, mechanical ingenuity and of course history of horology, I started appreciating panerai and started noticing things I never noticed before about the brand Phase3: Which model to bring in my watch box. So many great models yet many look very alike and lack their own “character” then the new movement concerns and Panerai cutting corners played a role in my decision on which model to get Phase 4 (happy ending) The pure panerai DNA, 1950 case, 8 day reserve (not that I need it but it makes the watch very unique), domed crystal (OMG, only seeing it in person would give that justice) the hidden GMT hand, date, marina seconds....... etc etc etc make the Pam233 a no brainer to me I finally got an excellent example and cannot be happier :) Due thanks to all of you who helped me decide and helped me narrow it down to the best panerai imho
