First ever Panerai

Hi everyone!

Just got my first ever Panerai - Pam 422. Sorry for the poor quality iPhone pics.

Already looking at sites for new straps!! Suggestions for decent suppliers appreciated (preferably UK/Europe).

Fantastic PAM. Looks great on you. Congrats!

As for straps, in Europe, look at Simona and Dangerous9. Toshi in the UK is ok, too, though a rung lower.

But, you don't have to limit yourself to Europe. I regularly get straps sent from the US - see Micah (Vintager straps) for some of the best.

Have fun!

Beautiful! I almost bought that exact model on my last trip to Italy. Now you have me second guessing my decision!

Congrats!

Check out Piotr for straps. Best in the biz IMHO. Just be prepared to wait a little while.

PAMs are too big for my skinny wrist, but if I could wear one, it would be the one you are wearing. Classic and stylish.

Congrats! Love the 422. I favor Simona and Dirk (he made OEM straps long ago).
