greekgod Posted May 3, 2011 Report Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) Hello guys, So finally after about 600 email exchange between me and Andrew I have received my Pam 318 and I think its beautiful to say the least. Pardon my pics as I do not have a camera so used my phone... I am also doing an unboxing video very soon and will send the link to you guys here..enjoy the pix Edited May 3, 2011 by greekgod
greekgod Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Posted May 3, 2011 Many thanks to all the guys who helped me choose.. You know who you are!! Ill upload the video which makes the watch look so much better so that others can benefit from it.
StormTooper4 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Posted May 3, 2011 Looking good and glad the transaction was a smooth one, that always helps. Now begins the search for the perfect leather to dress it up a bit.
greekgod Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Posted May 3, 2011 Thank mate... Absolutely correct and now the strap .. I dread to think what the esteemed senior members would say to this but --- What's the best I can get for this watch? I like something in crock fine black leather/or shiny blue/black with deployment? I am doing my research but believe me its easier to chose a watch than a strap!

I am doing my research but believe me its easier to chose a watch than a strap! Mate, the problem with Panerai is the choice of straps. Do yourself a favour and simply slowly buy them all (at least the ones you like of course)
greekgod Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Posted May 3, 2011 Jynl thanks very much. But I will be honest the other 4 are for my friend. I am not a tag guy. Thanks lobster just don't know where to start !! Lol.
100 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Posted May 3, 2011 Looking good and you are lucky that there were no custom issues Getting 5 watches in the same package is like asking for trouble.
gianton Posted May 3, 2011 Report Posted May 3, 2011 Looking good and you are lucky that there were no custom issues Getting 5 watches in the same package is like asking for trouble. +1 you were lucky indeed! Congrats on your new PAM looking great!

pabler Posted May 6, 2011 Report Posted May 6, 2011 Nope, from a fellow from Repgeek..... Always wanted one, and here it is. I´m going to send it for a relume, refinish CG and probably a completely cleaning and oiling of the A7753.
