new strap combo - lots of pics (enjoy!)
Got a new strap in the mail today, XXXXX with light stitching. Having a brown strap on this watch gives it a completely different look and feel. For reference was my old black leather strap I had from a homage watch, I put this on the moment I got the pam. Thickness of both straps is roughly 4.5-5mm give or take a few.

The leather smells it and it feels somewhat like a stiff sponge (is this how leather really is brand new?). I will be wearing it daily to break it in and see how it looks, I heard breaking this strap in gives it more character. still waiting for my buckle to arrive.
now, off to hunt for an ammo strap.

Lookint at getting my first Panerai - PAM 112
Hi All, Been lurking here and on other pam boards... now that I'm about to get one I think its time to share where I am. I have been looking at getting my first Panerai the past couple of weeks to add to my very small (90's deville and Omega PO) watch col...
If it sings to you...
... and feels right then go for it. Better to buy something that you like than to buy something you don't like because others do! I at one point had this watch as well and enjoyed it a lot; I have given it away by now but I still have ample opportunity to...
First of all.....
welcome. Second, I'm sure everybody in here will tell you that the 112 is a fantastic way to either become a Panerai's owner or to....start a Panerai collection. Cheers - Sergio
people choose Panerai for different reasons, what is yours...
104 was my first PAM with all practical function of a small second, date and automatic, later to find out that i enjoy 112's simple sandwich dial and open case back way more than those 'functions'... people choose Panerai for different reasons, what is yo...
This is the luxury world
Why buy a $250k Ferrari sports car when a $20k Toyota will do the job fine from getting you from Destination A to Destination B. The Toyota may even be more reliable too! So the same thing applies with watches. Why buy a $5k Panerai when a $5 digital quar...
With Panerai...
If you like the style and its unique to Panerai, the 112 is a great piece. There is always going to detractors but the movement is tried and true. And really, these Historic base are great buys. have fun and we look forward to your photos!
pulled the trigger on one
and I'm very happy with the decision. Build quality is top notch and the balance/simplicity of the dial is just elegant=) The lume is also amazing on the this thing.... some quick dirty photos from my phone cam. Have an incoming gunny strap and ordering a...
Welcome and congrats...
for the very nice watch! I hope you have fun with it, try different straps on the watch! It's a lot of fun Best regards, samrotandi
Hi Sam.....the strap-man...
I've got a few straps lately (I litterally layed siege to the HongKong, Central, Boutique). Like the destros extravaganza, one of these days I'll go straps...only.. Ciao - Sergio
Hi Sirjo!!
It's good to hear from you again! Can't wait to see your new straps! So how was HongKong boutique? The 339 looked amazing on your wrist! cheers samrotandi
HI Sam....
I went to the old one, in Central. I think I bought, just about every strap Panerai ever made. Unfortunately they didn't have a 47mm one for my 232 (as in the 249 I...detest....that hue of brown). This calls for another visit....though.... Cheers - Sergio
congrats! on the piece..
and welcome...love that new watch sparkle on the photos...enjoy! now..you can go strap crazy...
what lume is used on pams?
Thanks everyone! Its day 2 and I'm loving every bit of this watch. Just one question, what kind of luminous material does panerai use? Superluminove? I'm under the shade on a nice sunny day and the dial is just glowing like crazy, very evident even during...
congrats
such a nice choice , im tuned to see the shots with the new straps as well. Faisal
