That's it, man. You are officially banned!!

Can't wait to see your new 288. I know you'll love it. Personally I've seen all the pictures, went to AD's to try it on etc, but when it arrived I was simply blown away by the looks of it on my wrist and the quality of materials and build. I'm definitely not a Panerai aficionado, but this watch oozes quality and style. The lume is fantastic (the best out of 3 reps I own), the crown, the pushers are smooth as silk ,actually better than on the gen I tried. The only downside is the quality of the calf strap I ordered, but maybe it's just me being spoiled by aligator and croc straps I usually wear.
