Panerai Luminor Base Ti newbie review, gunny strap and lots of pics.

[nanoman]

Hi, there is not going to be a lot of text in this review as this watch reviewed by several other experienced guys in this forum. I would just list my main observations and attach pics (taken with iphone 5s).

 

So far this has been my favorite watch for formal occasions. 

 

- Ordered this watch from Josh. It arrived in time and in perfect condition.

- Caseset quality/finish is superb.

- Dial looks fantastic and the lume is great.

- Movement has been reliable so far (asian 6497 high beat 21600bph).

- Etching on the seethrough caseback looks sharp.

- Strap was of average quality and the tang buckle had sharp edges.

 

I was impressed with the quality of this watch and I decided to treat it with a gunny strap. I was lucky enough to win a lot of 3 gunny straps on EBay for $150. All of them are quality pieces. One shown here is from the chocolate fudge series.

 

Let me know if you have any specific questions. I will try my best to answer them.

 

Thanks all.

Very nice indeed!

Is this like the PAM390, except in titanium? 

Sorry I am a PAM noob..

Yes, it is PAM 390N in Ti.

I think that works better than the original SS . Nice job

Looks really nice. Post pics of the other straps you got. That choc strap is really sweet.

Sure Dhistory, I will post pics of the other strap I have this weekend. I really dig this chocolate fudge strap. I sold the 3rd one a while ago.
