Should I trust this as my first Panerai? 90?

I love the look of this watch and the fact that its automatic, has a date feature and power reserve indicator. This site claims its NEW. Would you trust it?

Why wouldn't you? I absolutely love my PAM 372. I had to get a longer strap.

Lots of reviews / comments about Joma shop here.

You won't have an OEM warranty. Just Jomashop. Comfy with that?

You should also get some serious comfort they a) have the watch now and b) it is in fact brand new.

if it's 'brand new' depending on the series you'll have an oem warranty from panerai. find out from them what date is listed in the warranty book or on the warranty card.

bought my first pam from a gray market dealer, no warranty issues....

personally i'd go with a base as my first watch, the 90's dial is a bit bizzy, lol

good luck in your quest.

I've always been leery of JS - not that they have a bad rep, but most of the pieces I've looked at had a wait time, which indicates that they don't really have it in stock. Personally, I'd rather buy something with AD papers. Makes flipping much easier, too.

What size is the 90? I havent seen it in person. I have a two tone bluesy Sub right now that I wear everyday. How much BIGGER will the 90 feel compared to my Sub?

No guarantee that JS has the watch in stock. I personally wouldn't buy from them.
