Congratulations Tomo - great watch, smart display caseback and a beauty to wind :)
The sandwich dial was a real revelation to me - not just the lume, but the impression of depth it creates too.

Hi,
After browsing the website for some time I have decided to share my latest arrival. Having owned many watches from different brands I have always wanted a Panerai. I recently came across this 183 for sale and had to have it.
Here are some poor iphone photos( lost camera)
I think this is going to be the first of many :)
Thanks.

Congratulations!
Having recently been diagnosed with Paneritis myself I'm told the condition has a habit of multiplying so good luck!
“Don’t look back, you’re not heading that way.”
Looking good :thumbleft:
Thanks guys, on the look out for the next Pam hopefully a pvd or ceramic one and also onto new straps. Anyone got any recommendations of colours to go with the 183?
lovely :)
Congratulations. You can't beat a nice sandwich :)
Classy! Welcome to the madness :)
lovely watch,congrats,id like one of those myself.
Congrats - 183 is a lovely piece 8)
Looks like an earlier 183 from your pics - possibly a H or I series at a guess? Did you get the OEM tan strap with it too or just the black calf?
183 is very versatile in terms of strap choices - it suits most things - a plain calf in tan or brown will dress it down a little and look smart but casual but if you want to dress it up then a nice gator in black or brown or honey tan will do the trick 8)
Very classy, congrats 8)
"I looked with pity not untinged with scorn upon these trivial-minded passers-by"
thanks guys,
will post a new pic when I get a new strap think I am going to go for a tan one.
Great looking Pam :)
Became a PAM owner myself this week, this one is very nice...
Great watch, congrats

that's what I like about panerai, new day, new strap! check the usual (after market) suspects.Originally Posted by TOMO20
beautiful rad btw, congrats :thumbright:
congrats...looks great wear it in good health!
I've been lusting after a nice 183 like this....and a 287...and a 288...and a 292...and a couple of IWCs..... :lol:
Can anyone tell me what size of screwdriver I need to change the strap?
Just be careful you don't loose those tiny strap wire screws when you change straps. If they drop on a carpeted floor - forget it!

Some nice, 'authentic' straps here :wink: http://www.manifatturefirenze.it/home.php/sel/0
That's a beautiful watch, I have a real soft spot for a PAM enjoy
