Before joining this forum last summer I had no idea what Panerai is. When reading the posts here, I noticed that so many people like these weird watches. And seeing so many wrist shots with PAMs, I never understood why people like them so much. So I sticked to what I liked and bought a few Omegas and Rolexes and I was happy. But, after months of seeing PAMs everywhere they started to grow up on me. Slowly they were not so ugly anymore, actually I found them quite attractive a few months later. But I resisted to buy one. Well until a couple of weeks back at least. One night a whispering Panerai voice inside my head said "buy me, buy me". I couldn't resist any longer. Sent an email to PT and today I have it on my wrist.

The watch that I got is an entry level PAM 111H. I didn't want to buy anything too expensive, because I wasn't sure if I will like it or how it will wear on my wrist. The strap I bought from Panatime.

I'm very satisfied with the watch. It wears great, doesn't slide on my wrist, stays put, doesn't turn around. I really like that. Strap is nice and soft. Lume is weak, but I happen to have a lot of lume powder in a drawer.

You're all familiar with the watch, so no need to say more.

Here are a few obligatory photos.

You're dead!
There's no such thing as one pam!
They're more addictive than any other brand, you'll have 2, then 3, then 5, then 10,.......
It never stops!

Oh markotu, I feel your pain. I too was exactly the same when I first found RWI, and now I have a PAM addiction, as well as a strap and buckle problem that consumes as much money.

I wish you the best of luck battling your new found problem, and I hope you enjoy your new watch.
