SB56667 155 Posted May 22, 2011 So I've been haunting this forum for six weeks now. I've ordered two reps from Mary and have been looking for a third. I kept running into this talk of Panerai obsession, and just didn't get it. I'll admit I have pretty conservative/old-school tastes: Breguet, VC, PP, plus the dressier, more classic IWCs, Langes, and Glashuttes. Then last night I was looking for new straps for my new gens, and following the recommended dealers' list to Gunny Straps, I saw this: Then this: Bloody hell, do I ever get it now. I'm doomed. I've just got to order my first PAM rep before the glare from the laptop screen wakes up my wife. And then a strap worthy of it. Wish me luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Balad1 0 Posted May 22, 2011 Like you I didn't get the Pam thing either. I bought a low end Pam on a lark and that's when I caught the fever. Enjoy the hobby, it's a blast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SB56667 155 Posted May 22, 2011 Welcome to the PAM club... I love lightbulb moments like this! That's exactly what it was. I saw those pics on the Gunny Strap site, then 12 hours later, I passed a mirror and, and even though I was wearing a PP, I saw a Paneria on my arm. After that, there was no hope for me. Thanks for the strap links -- I'm liking the look (and prices!) of the German ebay shop. Pics to come... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg_r 81 Posted August 1, 2011 Yup - that's how I got started too. Didn't get 'em, then took a fancy to a 111h - figured I'd try it to see what all the fuss is about. 15-20 PAMs later... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
