I would like to make a point of stating my genuine thanks and appreciation for this forum. I am new to Panerai, now owning one watch and looking to buy another soon, and possibly many more in the future.

I have been reading most posts on here for over a year now and also ploughing through the mountains of previously posted opinion and info on Panerai.

For someone with a limited budget like myself, it is so important to understand the products on offer and to get expert help with choice, before parting with my hard earned cash.

The PuristSPro forum is genuinely fascinating and quite addictive, I have ONLY EVER been given confident, helpful, accurate, considerate, positive and invaluable advise, no matter how basic and now obvious my questions.

This forum has changed my experience of at first just 'buying a good watch', into a real passion. I feel that I have been whole heartily welcomed and have been helped to gain a real start in understanding this amazing brand and story, far exceeding any of my first expectations.

So thanks for the advise and welcoming community spirit guys!

Very best regards, a very satisfied and appreciative new comer,

Mat Nicolson
