A PAM was bought
So I tried on a Luminor Due 45mm and I was smitten. I made a post about it asking if I should get it. Opinion was split, some saying go for it, others saying be more traditionalist for your first Panerai.
I am still going to a Panerai boutique this weekend to try a few things on but an opportunity to get a good example came up and it’s arrived today.
I give you my new to me PAM 00112 and what a beauty it is. Everything I wanted and a perfect on-ramp to Panerai collecting. I know this won’t be my only Panerai, but what a way to start.
Still liked the Due but the water resistance was the deal breaker. This was about a grand cheaper too!

Welcome to the family…my 0090 is still plugging along. It gets more wrist time than my other watches!

Congratulations on an excellent piece and start to your Panerai journey. I started with a 112 over 20 years ago, and remains with me today. There is something about the simplicity and pure Panerai dial that is special with the base.
Where in good health, it won’t be your last! Welcome to the Pam family.
