Thanks to the experts on this forum!

I joined this forum a couple of months ago to learn about the Rolex watches I was starting to collect. As I explored the site, I wandered into the Panerai section. My AD, a really good guy, had been telling me for a couple of years that I should give Panerai a try.

After learning about the history through this forum, and seeing the passion for the brand, I did some research and purchased the following piece from my AD.Name:  ImageUploadedByTapatalk 21370814938.209507.jpg

Now, less than 1 month later, the following piece arrived from DavidSW - a great guy to work with.Name:  ImageUploadedByTapatalk 21370815030.212765.jpg

This has been really fun, and I haven't even ordered my first strap yet.

Thanks to all of you for sharing your expertise, and helping a new member develop a passion for a new brand. Thanks!

A Luminor and a Rad, that's a good combo.

Wow, you're on a roll there.
It took me a few months to find the Panerai forum area and start to get the bug after I joined.
There's no looking back now, roll on.
Cheers! and Wear your new beauty in the best of health!
