The 422v372 debate rages. I owned one of each at the same time, having bought the 422 initially, and then picked up a 372 from a fellow forum Paneristi when the bug had really bitten.
To me the PRI is a nice idea, useful to check when putting the watch on, but the "feel" of the 372 just swung it for me, so the 422 had to go when it came to house move time. Glad to see it being enjoyed by ASW still, having been through a few TZrs.
Imho the 422 would be a superb "only" PAM, but I preferred the 372 as part of a collection .

My wife has the luminor duo 38mm as well
In true panerai fashion she has got into the straps

Yes because of the snap on strap mechanism is oem only
Which is a shame because it restricts colour choice
Shes nagging me for an orange strap now !!
Which they dont make

Pulled this old lump of metal out this afternoon. And the Panerai ha ha. It's nice to have some good light outside for photographs.
Can’t seem to take this one off

I love this, but i think you know that!! Out of curiosity is it a B series as there is a good debate going on on another forum about 004 and T and L dials
EDIT- Dooohhh, just seen your reply to Rob. Do you know if its always been an L dial or was it swapped at a service??

Hi Nev - I've not been a Panerai nerd for some time, and I can't remember the last time I was on Paneristi! But I think that the switch from tritium to Luminova happened during the B-series model year, 1999, so somewhere in that production of 3000 Marinas (3000 include all Marinas - 001, 003, 004). Early B-series may have tritium. Mine is a later B-series (24xx/3000) so is Luminove. To my knowledge the dial and hands are original!
Gosh, it's 21 years old!
Ah, I didn't know that about the different case references! But it all fits together!
(Don't know why I blocked out the watch number, I'm sure I've posted uncensored versions before!)
Changed up today to the 590 on one of Toshi’s lovely straps.

Love the dome on these!
My wife has a significant birthday this year and I’ve been racking my brains trying to figure out what to get her. She’s not really ‘in to’ watches, but when we were in the Panerai boutique in Bond St. trying on (for me), she tried on a 38mm (can’t remember which reference of the top of my head, but it was the entry Luminor) and loved it. Made me think this might be a suitable model. I wasn’t aware about the straps being purpose made for the model though. Couldn’t find anything online on any sales blurb. Must investigate. This thread also reminds me I should list a couple of watches in my box that aren’t getting worn and get myself a Pam.

Enjoying this combination today,
back to basics.... 112 with new Toshi strap black with black stitching
I haven't worn this without an ammo style strap for some time, I'm liking it
Strap change day today for the pamily. The only one that stays on the same strap pretty much all the time is my old faithful 49. And it is still running with Bob on accuracy.

Green looks good on the Daylight!
If you're looking for 22mm thumbnail, I can recommend these https://www.watchobsession.co.uk/col...iant=338241772
PS the green strap looks great.

I decided that I needed a black strap on my 233 again, so spent a little time this morning and this is the result.
The 233 seems to work with just about any colour strap, but put it on a plain black strap with black stitching and it comes alive
That strap looks amazing on the GMT
