Back to Panerai- Incoming!

I've been without a Panerai for about a year and half now, so I thought it's about time for me to make my way back. I've always wanted to give the PAM 372 a try ever since I was bit by the PAM bug, but I was always hesitant about the size and other watches got in the way. I finally pulled the trigger yesterday and less than 24 hours later she is here!

First impressions- I'm used to wearing 40mm Rolexes, so the size will take some getting used to. Luckily, I have 7 1/4 inch wrists and it seems to fit well on it. It's also super comfy for its size. This isn't the first time I've seen a PAM 372, but it's my first time handling it outside an AD and it sure gets better looking the longer you wear it. It's a real stunner in person. It's only been here for a few hours and I already have some Gunny and Bosphorus straps on the way

Very nice - you will find that cushion cased watches wear smaller than round ones

Thanks! I used a Nikon D5500. The Box shot was taken with a 105mm macro lens and the wrist shot with a 35mm prime lens.
