New arrival today - First Panerai

I just got back into town this evening and knew that I had a special package waiting for me. This is my first Panerai and probably won't be my last.

Here she is...









PAM 88







Finally, the obligatory wrist shot with a matte black factory alligator strap installed...

I have an 88 too. I love it. It looks great with a Rob Montana strap.
Congratulations. You now have an addiction problem!

Congrats - I was not a big fan of the 88 but saw one worn by the PAM boutique sales person and thought it looked great. Enjoy!

Thanks, it's definitely going to be an addiction. So many straps...I already am planning an order or two! I have to also give a shout out to Ryan at Barton-Clay in Birmingham, AL. My wife took care of all the details, and Ryan made the whole transaction very smooth. They also gave her a great discount.

Congrats and nice pics. I love the 88, it was my first PAM as well (though in my case it wasn't the last)...
