Already know that I'm very late to the game. I'm an Omega man. I'd love to own another Rolex but not in this climate.
This is my first Panerai.

Really love it and the price was great. As a long time collector I've had other watches similar in size but nothing like it. I stay away from homages. Im sure there are many of this model.

Happy to finally have one. Pam 754

If there are any Panerai collectors out there, please send me any strap sites.

That's the one to get if you are going to get one. Congrats!

I loved that i could walk into the only Panerai boutique in the city and pick up my first panerai too. No wait lists, crazy games to play with the AD. The sales lady spent several hours with me going over different models patiently until i had decided. That was last November so i remember the feeling of getting one's first PAM.

congrats on your first! Wear in good health!

Very nice. It would look great on a nato strap

Welcome to the club. I got my first a few months back, A 1085. I contemplated that exact Radiomir, but I had to have the iconic crown guard first.

As for straps, go to the Panerai forum, there's a long list of strap makers. But my vote is to go custom, I had Aaron Bespoke make me a blue center pearl stingrays to get the ball rolling, and am expecting a grey cordura from Clover next week. Plus some Etsy makers have some nice stuff.
