Well, I finally did it...and I could not be more happier!

I have been on the boards for over 3 years now, and being mainly a Rolex and Omega man, I have always wondered about the fanaticism with Panerai - PAM's as I have heard it said once or twice. Now I know why. I just received my first Panerai from konigwolf, the PAM 187. I am literally speechless. Now I do not claim to be a photographer, but take a look...

Against the Gen, it is spot on...or at least what I can see on photos of it and from what friends who know better than I tell me. It is truly an awesome watch!

Now this doesn't mean that I am entirely converted, and I won't be blowing my watch budget on PAM's, but I will be giving more of them second (and third!) looks now.

My sincere thanks to konigwolf for this amazing watch!

Thanks, my friend. That means a lot coming from you! We need to GTG so you can see this watch in person!

I once thought like you..whats the harm in have 1 or 2 Pams. Now one of my 111h is having mods done while the fifth Pam is on its way. Enjoy ur Pams, they multiply quickly.

Don't you know what PAM stands for? It's Panerai Acquisition Mode.

You're doomed now... :lol:

You call them Pams, I call them rabbits! Congrats on your first big Sub.
I would be looking into buying a new watch box, :lol:
