Picked up a PAM389

Recent acquisition. Wanted to give Panerai a shot. Loving it so far. Going to be hard going back to dainty Rolex hands/dial

I love this watch, have had it since 2016 - and got it on a white strap now. Gets the most compliments!

Congratulations. One of my favorite divers. I think it looks great on the OEM Rubber Straps. I always liked mine on the OD Green. Enjoy.

Congrats! the 389 is a great PAM. I highly recommend you try one of Kyros’ distressed canvas straps. Really elevates the 389 more than I can explain in this post.

My distressed canvas on my 526 (obviously not a 389 but only pictures I have):
