I've been a watch fanatic, collecting both reps and gens, for the past 5 years. I started out mostly with Breitling and ended up sticking to it. Just recently had 6 Breitling models and now only down to 2. A Gen Avenger Blacksteel and a V2 Avenger.

I Don't know if I was just bored or looking for something new, but last month I started doing a little research on Panerai and just became obsessed. I went to my local Panerai AD and spent almost 2 hours just drooling. I walked out of the store knowing that Panerai was definitely for me.... I went home and with in 24 hours had sold my Gen Steelfish and 3 other reps to fund my newly found love for Panerai.....Here is my new start to my Panerai collection.... and I think it has only just begun. :lol:

Please chime in if you feel I'm missing a essential PAM in the collection... Looking for opinions on which model to shop for next.
:cheers:

Excellent, if you collect REPs for any amount of time, you will end up with a few PAMS before it is all over - You have some very nice ones.

Great Collection!

That would probably be a 005, unless it has the Brooklyn Bridge engraved caseback (which is not evident in the pics), a 318. Strap identification is not my forte (thick and nice with minimal stitching).

Thanks for the complements. The second one from the end is a 005 with a stitchless Mario Paci strap.
