Incoming PAM 1535

Picked up my first Panerai yesterday. A sentence I would never have even considered writing until about three months ago, when I got the bug. I've spent every evening researching, and finally went with the 42mm Luminor 1950 GMT PAM 01535, which is perfect on my 6.5 inch wrist. I really love the simplicity of the GMT, and the dial is incredible.

Question though - I purchased second hand, and while I've got the important stuff - box, papers, rubber cover, tool for removing the buckle - I am missing the black Panerai tool that changes straps. Does anyone know where I might pick one up? Is there something else I can use to help me switch straps?

Cheers

Beautiful! I was going to get that model too but ended up getting the 1392 because of the sandwich dial. I’m sure you can find that tool on eBay?? Congrats!

I considered the 1392 for the exact same reason - sandwich. May have to look at a Radiomir now...!

Outstanding. Use a wooden toothpick to change straps.
