A smile inducing incomer, though i'm mindful of someone else's misery in respect of Panerai at the moment.
I've had one of these previously and several examples of its similar sibling (305) but a new deal fell into my lap yesterday that was too tempting to miss. After some recent mishaps and disappointments it was good to receive this in the mornings mail delivery. Its not a new one this time around and there is some very light evidence of its pre-owned status but unbelievably, for me anyway, i'm just looking forward to not being so precious with the precious bauble on my wrist. The strap i fitted earlier is from one of my favourite makers and i have a decent collection of others in an assortment of colours that all fit Panerai's Ti Subs rather well. Its a happy Friday in Sussex
No experience of owning one of these as I've small wrists but that looks a cracker. I've been eyeing the one in SC of late even though I know it will be too large and the limited edition adds to the cost unnecessarily for me. I particularly like the skeleton hands and simple dial combo. Lovely.
Looks really good. I wish they made 44mm submersibles but with the new designs. 47mm is too big for my puny wrists :( Congrats tho!
That looks superb and congratulations on the pick up. Enjoy it plus the good weather this weekend!
Nice to have a positive Panerai story! :) Looks great, defo my favourite brand.
I'm afraid I'm in the same boat, have tried the big boys, man have I tried but I'm too much of a runt. I think its a stunner for sure.Originally Posted by kaiserphoenix
Awesome! Congratulations!!
Probably my favorite PANERAI
Surprised how well it looks on the brown strap,I bought a couple of black straps for mine thinking that was the way to go,I'll have to reconsiderA smile inducing incomer, though i'm mindful of someone else's misery in respect of Panerai at the moment.

Congrats! It's one of my favorites.
Had one but decided to sell it in the end. Now planning on getting the 615 with flyback.
Looks lovely on the brown leather! Enjoy!
For me though, as over posters, far too big for my wrists :(
One of the best Panerai I reckon.
Congrats Baz, it took a while. Assume it wasn't Andrew Michaels ;-)
No i gave up on them, promise after promise but no delivery. This one is a pre-owned example though not very obviously. It was the price that secured my interest.
You are a true Panerei aficionado Shadowman.
You have suffered much for your passion, you have tried to walk away but you can't. Such passion is admirable actually, I recognise it.

Congratulations Baz - the sub is the one thing they seem to have got right when Panerai went inhouse. Did you also get the Firenze in the end?
The Firenze came and went rather quickly and remained unworn. A lovely watch, well, a lovely dial really but it just didn't work for me. The ultra modern (in my eyes) dial just didn't fit though within the traditional case of the 6152 vintage model its based on. It made someone else very happy though
Ultimately, modern Panerai Subs have always been my most worn items, with a 572 for 'dress' wear when needed.
Gorgeous looking Panerai-well done. Love the Brand.
Looks great, just wished I also had bigger wrists as I would love to own one
Looks cracking, congrats
That is without doubt my favourite Panerai. If only they made exactly the same model in 44mm it would be on my wrist!!
Panerai confuse me, first I didn't like any of them... then I started to like the base ones for their simplicilty... and now I like this one with all its complications...
One thing I do know, prices seem to remain consistently strong for them...
Looks great Baz. Sometimes its nice to receive a watch that's already got some signs of wear. I find that I can wear them without being too precious. Brand new watches can be quite stressful, pre owned can be more rewarding.
Steve.
Agreed. I just can't carry off 47mm :(
Lovely looking on someone chunkier than me though ;)
