Panerai 1938 AKA PAM00232

Well, 2 years ago I made a mistake...............

I sold this





Yeah, stupid I know, but I wanted a Rolex DSSD!!!!!


Fast forward to yesterday, woke up early with the 232 on my mind! Made the conclusion that as much as I loved my 372 it really is too big for my, "as Ade would say" girly wrists. ;-)

So this is what I brought home today



Happy, happy, happy.

Now don't get me wrong, the 372 is a beautiful, amazing, stunning watch but alas I just can't pull off a 47mm Luminor, especially when it has a 3mm Plexi crystal. Since I got my 390 my 372 has spent all its time in the safe. This won't :-)

Here is a quick pic of it alongside my 390.



When I initially took the original pic of my old 232 on the Massimo Osti Stone Island Ice Camo I received so may questions about the strap I figure I would take a pic of my new one tonight sat upon my new Stone Island Digital Camo Jacket.



And of course the obligatory wrist shot!!!!!



Thanks all involved!

Ill say it. PAM 232 is the ONLY essential modern PAM. 210 is there for those that cant afford one

It looks great on you! So much so, I'm surprised the 372 was so off for you. No matter, the 232 is a great one.

The gold hands on the 232 makes it a winner compared to a 210. The watch stands out more with brown straps as well. On my wish list.
