Panerai Dirty Dozen

[midasmook]

This is my Panerai collection so far, I am waiting on a 088 and a 250 Daylight from Vac, both have been posted but still to arrive. I am also waiting on a sterile radiomir from a private sale.
My 270 is missing as I tried to take off the blue AR and made a right mess of it then in trying to remove the crystal I smashed it so I am needing a crystal for the 270.

Back (l - R) 249, Marina Militare, Slytech, 203, Sterile Marina Militare, Radiomir Chronograph.
Front (l - R) 183 Black Seal, Sterile Graphite Grey, 199, 252 North Pole, 243, 111.
Hope you enjoyed the view.

The idea of a Scottish meet appeals as I have never met anyone from the board.

I have to ask how come none of them have the SS band?

One of the great things about Pams is the amount of choice you have for straps. I have a load of straps not shown but yes I don't have a steel band, why, cos I don't like them.
I also have Breitlings, Pattek Phillipe and Steinhart and none of these have a steel band either.

Perfectly fair and for someone who prob would never buy a watch with a leather band, I can still appreciate the variety of straps and colors offered. Ive actually considered some of the fabric style bands for my Seamaster. Id like to get a variety of colors so I can match them to what im wearing, YES, Im OCD like that

Yes, straps are definitely a big part of any PAM collection. And you've got a good variety of models there. Personally, I was never a big fan of the Radiomir line, although I do have a 204 Wempe on the way.

As for bracelets, I've got a couple, but only use my Ti/SS one every once in a while - currently it is on my 192. Straps just seem more appropriate for PAMs, and convey a certain warmth. My current favorites are a grey Heroic gator that I have on my 308, a nice BOB camel on my DSN 172, a Sead croc on my 199 Sub, and a Donerix boa that rotates among various titanium PAMs.

The other great thing about the straps, are the range of buckles available, or choice between buckle and deployant.

So many options

Straps change the personality of the Pam. Seems like I have spent an equal amount on straps as watches. They sometimes cost more, but hey, It's all good.

Ain't that the truth.!
