So i've taken the PAM plunge and the water is perfect. This is the first Panerai in my box. Ok, I dont have a box yet but i will need one soon. I'm hooked. Enjoy the semi crappy photos.

ps. this one is the 168 (163 on jpc's site) 40 mm with a leather strap with deployment buckle. It has the Asia 7750 Valjoux. It sounds like a slow beat however.

@seafoam --> oh no!!!...you didn't buy THAT PAM?!...that one is riddled with all sorts of issues...

pause, pause, pause...

only kidding...(warped sense of humor implied)...

welcome to the jungle!...

PAMs are a social watch...they need to have company...you can't just have one...afterall, the 40mm models are born after mating the 44mm and the 47mm models...

i started with a 239 Submersible "destro"...then a 251 Daylight...then a 112h...

and they are a cobbler's dream...afterall, you need a variety of straps to keep them happy thru the seasons...

once again, leave your wallet at the door -- and welcome to the jungle!...

seriously -- congrats on the 168!...

You had me for a second there rhack1. I am looking forward to submersing myself in the PAM jungle. I just wish there was more availability of the 40mm's. I may have to try a 44mm jobby. I was actually concidering the 183. Anyway, thanks for commenting.

You're talking to captin sarcasim/jokester so i probably deserved it anyway. I will search for some wristies of the 44mm. Thanks.

remember...PAMs will mate...my one PAM now has 2 mates...

in my case, moreover, it's keeping the lid on the Breits - one has spawned into eight...yikes...

hobby or addiction?!...tough to call...thank god my room is padded...

I know exactly what you mean, I wasnt sure if I would like the pams, but I have now got a 029 GMT and loving it, she already has 3 different strap choices!!

Seafoam, two comments, don't be shy about a 44mm size, they have a way of looking good on any wrist size, and be aware that the SS bracelet is heavy, particularly in the 24mm form. My first Pam and 88, has morphed into 4 in less than three months, a rate even bunnies would be proud of.
