First Panerai on the way

Or it will be when I wire Sean some $$ on Monday.

Pam 312

I am already into straps so I just ordered two straps to go with it:

Metta

and a vintage ammo case strap

Pics when everything arrives.

That probably takes me out of the strap buying game for a while, but any other favorite straps?

Thanks

Congrats on the 312 it's a modern classic in the Luminor lineup!



Got my GSD Crazy Horse 1 on the way soon but due to the damn postal strike I have to wait :(

Congrats! Between the 313 and the 359 I finally decided on the 359, but it was close. If I waited another hour it'd probably have been the 312.

Maybe a nice ostrich leg? Or a DiStefano 'Russian' when you're feeling colorful.

Can't wait.

Excuse the cell phone pic (although the iPhone 4 takes pretty good cellphone pics). I'm at work and it's the best I can do right now.



Thanks to Sean Landsnaes.

No more pics yet - really, you guys know what it looks like. I am really pumped about this watch. More than any other watch except (maybe) my Rolex 16600 Sea Dweller. It has an elegant presence and simplicity that's just about perfect.

Anyway, thanks again to Sean. I think I'm going to admire my new timepiece some more.
