Incoming. Start of the PAMily

About 6 weeks ago I bought my first Panerai--the 1389 47mm submersible. I loved it so much that I wanted to add a second Panerai. Although the watch I wanted is somewhat hard to find, I was able to source one in NOS condition. It's in such great condition that a very long time Panerai enthusiast took a look to make sure it hadn't been polished. Not a scratch or mark anywhere on the case:










It's an N serial complete set with an OEM replacement plexi. I put it onto my favorite Cordes ammo strap before even trying it on. It wear great. Although it appears larger than the 1389, it actually wears better even on my 6.0" flat wrist. I'm very impressed.

I think this is my perfect pair. What is your perfect pair?

Hard to beat a 372. Works with so many strap combinations. Enjoy.

Thanks everyone. Really appreciate the kind words. Here are a couple more pictures:



(trying to channel my inner @_dome13 here!)

The watch looks huge on my wrist in the pictures but in person it doesnt look overly big. the lugs hug the ends of my wrists but dont quite hang over.

Looks great! It’s a Panerai. Supposed to be big.
