Pam93I did delve into the world of Panerai for a short time. I'm a great fan of their vintage watches but I can't quite get enthusiastic about the new range. The Pam93 was OK but I found I was wearing my Rolex more and more so I decided to sell it. Here's a few pictures I kept.

I had a PAM111 for awhile but traded it for an IWC Portuguese which I sold. I found I was spending more time (and money) on straps than on wearing the PAM. Someone at work called it a "funky" watch and ever since then I lost interest. The guy I traded it to now wants to sell it but I don't want it back.

I really like my 111, but I don't wear it all that often. It's definitely a big hunk o' watch. If I have the craving to wear a watch on a strap, my PAM is the one I always go to.

PANERAIThis brand has really caught the international market over the past few years. In doing so, they have risen in price because of supply and demand being what it is.
I have never seen a Panny in 'the flesh', so I can't form a real opinion about them.
I do like the look of this one though:
trouble is that its way above my budget!

I took a strange turn into the Panerai world and have never looked back. I have had at one time most every contemporary model, but like Adrian, found that they did not hold me like I had hoped. All were beautiful and solid timepieces, but they lacked something.
I have now found that the older pieces is exactly where I am at and want to be. In fact I have moved my collection towards A series watches only. I have a mint 1A and a 24A lined up. After that I will search out a 2A and go from there.
The A series is the first year Richemont took over Panerai and those watches all have Tritium dials. simply marked T Swiss T on them. They get a great patina or yellowing of the numerals and I love it.
The watch looks brand new, but some could mistake it for a watch from 25 years ago. That historic look and feel is what originally drew me to Panerai and has kept me there!
