Have been lucky enough to meet up with Rob of this parish a few times now and we try to grab a coffee and a chat when work/life allows and maybe theres a new toy to have a look at.
Last week i just happened to snag something i'd been looking at for a few weeks and Rob had a new arrival as well so thought it best to meet and have a natter.
I have had the Panerai bug bite me a little since meeting Rob and seeing some of his collection. I got a 590 a couple of years back but never added to it, just didn't "get it". But after trying some of Robs I've added a 372 earlier in the year and a 232 last week, suspect there might be more :-/
Anyways, with people watching and wondering what the hell we were doing, Rob managed to get a group shot.
Some new straps incoming for both of us so I'm thinking wont be long until coffee time again!

Would have been fun to be there - as a recent(ish) infectee of the PAM bug myself - I could have added a few more that weren't represented.
Must admit that the 232 has been calling to me - but I'm trying to resist the urge.....
Love the pic.
PS for those who think they all look the same perhaps do a roll-call ;)
Good idea. Top row from left 590 on OEM asso strap, 49 on aftermarket strap, can't recall from where, 231 on OEM black croc, 232 on OEM tan leather. Front row from left 422 on brown Toshi, 346 on tan asso, 24 on dark kudu Toshi and 372 on tan LV.

372 and 232 for me...
Such a great picture.
422 is my choice of that bunch - and will indeed be my next watch purchase. Just trying to source the best deal.

Nev , can I ask the difference between sausage and painted dial? Is it the raised profile of the paint ?Originally Posted by Nev
The sausage dial on the 590 has indentations in the dial which are then filled to create the markings. A painted dial has the marking painted on the top.

Exactly as Andy said in that the numbers/markings are indented and then filled so it gives a "sausage effect", its noticeably different when you see them side by side but in an image not so much.
Thanks Andy and Nev.
My photography is awful, this is as good as its gets to try and show it......
I love the history of panerai & so far managed to stay away but you really aren't helping.
Great shots 232 & 372 for me as well although the 590 is also lovely.
I'm sure resistance is futile!!
LOL. They don't have to. Although if you're going for a heritage look then they're the 'colours' to go for. There are no limits. Just a couple of mine to brighten things up:
The Panerai website itself has loads of options in primary colours and of course the number of aftermarket options are limitless.
My Panerai 243 on a grey crocodile strap, have another 16 different colour straps.
Here’s my 560 on its assolutamente that I picked up recently from the London Boutique

I popped the 49 onto a NATO for a duty week as my BB Bronze is away to Tudor. Quite like the different look it brings. 20180330_101100.jpg
