Damn, you guys need to stop these pictures! I'm going crazy waiting for my Panerai to get here. BTW, awesome watch and great pictures Felly. I thought the PAM90 was nice, unitl I see your wrist shot with the "blue" hand!

Two things that really drew me to the 286 were the blue chrono hand and the hob nail dial. I wore it all day yesterday while out watch shopping with Hkperf and it is highly comfy!

Very sweet indeed.
Love the blue hands.
That rubber strap is very under rated IMO. I wear mine quite often and it is VERY comfy too.

I can so relate to the "list"! I've added a 270 to mine.

It's gonna take a lot to get me to change over to the extra set of carbon straps that came with it. The rubber one's are awesome!

You're right Felly that is a beauty. The blue is a nice touch. That one stands out in a crowd no doubt!

Love the 286! Nice acquisition. Panerai's were my first love and will always be my favorite timepieces to collect.

You should have been there when I first saw it at the AD. I should have been carrying a handkerchief to wipe up the slobber off the display case!

Trying the 286 on first ruined my experience at the shop. All the other watches I tried on there seemed so blah, and they weren't junky brands either......AP, IWC, Ulysse Nardin, Omega, Bell and Ross, Glashutte........

Nice 112 there Matt!

I tried one on in Portland yesterday and really liked it, but I'm leaning towards the 176 cuz I'd like to have something in Ti.

Felly, I was completely torn between the 112 and 176. I agree the Ti is a great look, and after seeing the brushed finish on the crown protector of the 112 it makes me second guess my decision a little. Overall though, you can't go wrong with any Panerai. If I had an endless bank account, I'd own them all! But for now, I'm going to just wait impatiently on my 292.

That 112 is a sweet piece for sure! Is the 292 the black ceramic one with the pig on the dial

Incredible watch, Felly. Enjoy it!

I showed my wife the photos, and she gasped at its beauty. She said, "You'd better put that on your list."

Congratulations, big time!

Thanks boa2!

I will say that they only made 500 of the 286 model, so if you think you might want one, now would be a good time to look or get on a waiting list if possible. My AD told me there are about 435 Panerai AD's, and only 500 made, so not every AD will get one.

Thanks Thani!

Although I don't think this one will go the way of the GV..........she just didn't sing to me.

Personally, the Pam 286 is by far the best looking watch I've ever laid my eyes on so it will stay on my wrist for years to come I'm certain.

Yep, the 292 is a black ceramic Radiomir. Hell they are making 5k pieces so it's not limited by any means. I just really like the look of it.

The Pams have really grown on me lately. Unfortunately, there isn't an AD in Richmond so I'll have to head north to DC to have a look one of these days. I'll make sure to bring my hankerchief. I could easliy see myself going crazy with all the strap choices. You picked a winner there. Enjoy.

Those pictures are like showing a a recovering addict more "stuff". Watches are addictive, but they at least tell time.

Huge congrats, Felly!

That PAM is awesome!

I love the superdomed crystal. What a stunner!

I adore the dial, too!

I would have chosen the rubber strap, too.

Felly, it's an addition! I can't help but going back to your post and looked at the pictures. Must be a hint, here. Hmmm.....I think it's on the list for sure, just don't know what # on the list yet.
