I'm a recovering strapaholic... six PAMs and over 40 straps now down to two PAMs and 15 straps. And I'm just a mild case! Be forewarned.

Mike I think you have spomething there. I was just going to go back to the watch store and look at ordering another strap. Oh well that woulld only give me 4 straps and one Pam. I guess I still have a way to go before catching up to you.

Eric, thanks Man.

Amazing you have the Zero Hero too?

I went back to the store today and ordered a OEM velcro strap. I'll need to get a couple more straps, but at least for now I'll have 4 options to start with.

Should have the watch by Tuesday, unfortunately I may be on the road (Work) so I may have to wait as bit longer before I can wear it. I have my fingers crossed.

yes Sir. the 000 was my first Panerai. was out at the shops and walked past the Panerai cabinet... spotted the 000 in the display cabinet and had to have it, because it is rather difficult to come by in London without having to pre-order it or get it from a grey dealer. (funny thing is that i was actually researching about PAM000 online a week before that )

i have a thing for base Panerai watches

Cool, it did grab my attention as well. I like the plain dial with the logo.

Great. If you like the plain, sub-dial less look, I'd suggest PAM210 and the soon to be released PAM372

I don't know, we'll just have to see. I know I have the watch sickness pretty bad. Right now it's half Rolex sickness and the other half others.
