Wearing a PAM while in Italy is a perfect match but you'll see more Rolex in Italy than anything else. That may not always be a good thing especially if you want to look different

Interesting to hear this. I would've thought it would be the other way around! Who knew

Has to be the PAM, my friend. Watch them drool over it when you visit the Panerai boutique.

Belated happy birthday; please don't tell me I missed that one, too!

Buy yourself the OEM rubber strap, you can then wear when swimming, and adding on a comment before, everytime I am in Italy, the watch the italians wear the most is Rolex, they are everywhere!! I am always blown away with the amount of Rolex I see people wearing. Only once have I seen a Panerai being worn....it was a beautiful older italian women and she was wearing a Panerai 88.

Honestly I think that would've been runner up, it's super comfortable and a good all rounder, especially for all the swimming I do

Pam is usually on my periphery for most occasions. But a trip to Italy that involves the sea it should be right at home. Also, looks softer, therefor perfect for a romantic getaway. Have fun. September is glorious over there.
