Beautiful!

Looks good and well balanced. It is a good example of a busy PAM imho.

Everyone else is flipping their Panerais? If so, I probably overpaid. :-)

Nice! That's the first one I've seen (sort of) in the wild. Any comments to share? I haven't worn mine yet, I'm waiting at least until it has been paid for in full. :-)

It's a great watch, been wearing it almost everyday since I bought it in Switzerland few months ago. The titanium case makes it a very comfortable wear, and I have switched to a calf strap which is softer than the OEM strap.

My story was quite similar to yours. When the sales manager brought out a tray of 7 or 8 Panerais, this was the only one that caught my eyes, even though it was double of what I had originally budgeted. But I'm glad I made the right decision, have not looked back since. :-)

Enjoy your 311

Hi LuckyTan,

Which strap is that in the picture? Is it the original strap or aftermarket? Can you let me know?

Hi, its an aftermarket strap, I got it from JNS strap, http://www.jns-strap.com/JnS_strap/Italian_Calf.html

It should be the patina vintage if I remember correctly.

No, you havent ventured fully into the dark side until you purchase some straps! Congrats on the stunning piece by the way!
