Panerai 911

This is about as big as I will go especially for a Panerai. I did on at one time several 47 mm models which of all been let go. This is my favorite Panerai.

That one has been growing on me
I used to have a 562 and let it go because the 8 days writing on the dial annoyed me, that and the p5000 while a great movement was not really enjoyable to wind, very little mechanical feel for my taste. The 911 is very tempting with it steel case and gold hands, quite rare too!
P.S.: my beaten up ponte vecchio says hi

Looks great on you my Dear Doctor!!
Enjoy yourself and all that lovely food your wife makes!!!
Winding it can be tedious, the last time my wrist moved that much I was 15 years old!!!!!!!!!!! Or should I say I'm not 15 years old anymore!!

Nice Pam sir, 160 turns waw!
Never realised it takes so many turns to fully wind the 8 day power reserve, will count next time I wind mine. Take care.
Sorry doc, but thins time.....
I have to ask. You wind back and forth? Your "turns" count, it's always double of mine. I only wind in one direction, though.
I only wind in one direction

The plot thinckens....
it only takes me 90 to 100 turns to fully wind the 339 (P2002/7 movement)
Very nice dear Tony! It makes me feel I need to have a green dial Panerai in my collection. I also feel 44 mm is a very interesting size to have in the Panerai line.
My first Panerai was a 111 I bought in 2006 and which still own and love. It has same (so called Bettarini) case as yours. It is a very wearable size specially if you don´t feel comfortable with the larger typical and historical 47 mm size.
I also own other Pams with same 8 days movement which are very interesting and practical. Yes, they need to pass the hundred turns to arrive to its full winding. I also wind in just one direction and don´t remember now but I feel that also give around 150 turns. Fact is I don´t pay attention if it really gives a complete turn or less and this can make a difference from one owner to another. But a long winding it is! Lol!
Looks very nice on your wrist and I wish you´ll enjoy it so much.
Cheers! Abel
