Hey guys just sharing some of my Panerai collection. I've had a few pass through my hands over the years, but now with the newest H-Factory releases I must say I've really become excited in this hobby again. :D

Here's a pic of my 005K currently paired with black shark. This is my second 005K. (more on that later). This my be my favorite, i go back and forth between the 005 and 111

Next is my 177L on stock rubber. I got this from a member with a real nice Heroic strap which I'm giving a rest. I like the lighter feel of the titanium, certainly nicer for casual wear.

My PAM 186 Arktos GMT Ultimate. Now on a nice Panatime vintage deep oil strap. I really still like this watch despite the newer releases. The lume is pretty decent and it has a nice fit and finish. It used to be my brother's until I traded my BCE for it.

This is a little interesting. My first 005 was the victim of a fall in my garage. The movement didn't survive the nor did the hands or dial. So I had this 111L (I think) lying around, unfortunatley not with a swiss 6497. I purchased a VAC dial and hand set for the 111 and had it swapped on the 111L movement. That movement went into the 005K case. So I guess it's a Franken of sorts. :p Paired with a Panatime python strap. I ended up ordering a 111M which is inbound. My father liked the strap, I think I'll end up giving him this watch and just buying another python strap.

Last is my 113 which is the lamest of the bunch considering the newer Pams released. I suspect the H-Factory will do any white dial Pams, as I'm sure they're not as popular. But there something about it which is why I keep it.

Well that's it for now. Waiting on my 111M and a 292K. I started in this hobby not knowing anything about Panerai, but now they have really grown on me. I find myself wearing them almost exclusively. Hope you enjoyed!

Grows on you... I hated them, now I have a 111 coming from Robert. Then I'll be into getting better and better straps. Why did I buy that first Sub on holiday in Turkey all those years ago?

The H-Factory reps have put a major boost into my interest, and thus buying as well.

This "limited" supply thing the factories are pulling, is creating urgency to buy when the watches are released. Good marketing for a good product. I had to pay more than list price to get a 318 from another member since it went out of stock....

The 005K on the black shark does something to/for me. I love that combo... may have to try to replicate it. :thumbsup:
