Two days to go...a bnib 328 on the way. This will join my newly acquired mint 523.

I've been bitten badly by the Panerai bug lately. Any recommendations for companion models to these two!?

Just buy a lot of straps.

That 512 looks awesome, not sure I can adapt to manual wind movements though

A third? :lol:

The 572 is the best recommendation. It'll give you a tasteful ND in a different Radiomir case all the while having a thin profile like a manual wind.

Can't wait to see the 328 when you come back home. Hurry up and come back before you flip again.

Loving being able to go from bracelet to strap in seconds - I'm sold on Panerai the product. Not so sure about the price!

I'd go with some type of ammo strap. Classic with Panerai.

Check out "destafano straps" Simona makes some great straps.
It gets addictive though be careful. Nice Pam.

Update - took my Panerai 328 in the shower for the first time today. No signs of fog or damage, even though I put it directly in the path of the shower head.

In all seriousness, loving the bracelet - very comfy and great fit when adjusted. It really balances out the watch in a way straps don't.

I still haven't made the trip to Sydney to check out straps, but am planning on an OEM croc in black for my first pickup.
