like a virgin. my first

Post by smellody » Sun Dec 13, 2015 3:27 pm

My first. It was worth the wait! Needed a white dial and better yet, my jeweler can service/fix. . .if ever needed. Probably good with the mark for now. Do any of you Panerai experts know if a white rubber strap us available?

There is no white rubber Panerai strap available. Thank God. That watch belongs on leather or canvas and nothing else.
I'm sure if you have to, you can find some cheap aftermarket white rubber.

+1. I think that watch would look great on an OD Drew Canvas.

Beautiful Chris, congrats!

A reddish or tan leather would be my choice of leather strap.

OD Drew canvas would work for a sportier look.

Ok. I got the message. The dial is enough white! A canvas strap looks like the way to go. I just do not want to mess up the original strap. I've been known to sweat.

Super nice, congrats!! A Drew Canvas or Drunk Art would look awesome!

you mean that Panerai doesn't engrave then anymore? it's been a while since I last checked them out.

congrats on the new addition. i'm partial to the black/choco/antracite dials myself, but the white is a welcome change around here.

G series was the last year for that style of engraving.

interesting to know.

kinda bizarre though that they would stop that though...cost-cutting or something else? the brand isn't what it was in its heyday, it seems.

This was changed back in 2004, so I really don't think it has anything to do with cost cutting. The newer movements are also nicely decorated, so it couldn't have saved much money.

I love those Panerais with white dials. That is way cool. Quite a departure from your normal ridiculously cool vintage pieces.
