Panerai however is a whole other thing, I've yet to add one to my collection but had my eye on them for years. I was close a year ago but ended up buying a new 911 instead.
Yes Panerai is a great looking watch. Been looking at them as well for a long time but then decided to go with Graham.

Hard to tell from picture. Almost looks like a PAM 90. They have power reserve of about 36 hours. No winding required. It's a perpetual. They are about 44mm.

Maybe it's a Pam 111.

Yes, Fun roads..Pretty crazy actually. Rocks in the middle of the road in certain sports and a Semi went off the road and crashed into some trees, I passed by the aftermath.

Looks more like a submersible to me.

Hey guys, Pani is a 004 "Logo" with a new version dive strap from a sub. Probably had it for almost 9 year now? Great watch!

I wind mine once about every 2 days? While I wear it I have gotten in the habit of just winding it a couple turns one and a while. I could never wear a Rolex after a Panerai ,They are great watches but seem too tiny for my wrist after wearing a Panerai for so long.
