Current Panerai Collection and Straps

I have been a Panerai Fan since the early 2000's and have owned a lot of different models. I have had some breakups from the brand for too many reasons to list but I have always liked the design language and wear. It seems that my spot with the brand is somewhat older models but I am always looking at new releases. I have found a lot of value in pre-owned as we all know that the values of most Panerai watches drop like a rock, then stabilize and even come back some. Part of the fun with Panerai is the straps. Having been a fan for the better part of 20 plus years it is easy to have a few straps. I currently own a 233, 317, 162, 992 and a 590. The numbers have creeped up on me but I do like them all. I might add a diver but for now I am good.

Thanks for sharing! Love the variety of all the straps as well. Is that an OEM yellow croc?

Nice - you must be an expert at fast strap swaps.

Very impressive. You should get a newer Panerai with the quick-change strap design so you could add another 10 straps.

Thanks to all for the nice comments. The Yellow strap is indeed an OEM Alligator. Changing straps is easier with practice but sometimes can still take a minute.

Love the strap assortment!
So addictive once you get the PAM bug.

Love the collection, thanks for sharing.
Out of all the watches that have come and gone in my collection I miss the Pams the most.
