Incoming - 5227
Ok gents, here we go. Ordered this guy back in October when I was told the new watches would start hitting ADs. Needless to say we all know how deliveries in the watch world work for new products. Lag city. I'm told it's one of the first to hit US markets but who knows. It's too new to really comment on the wearability etc. I think it's a real knockout though. The black is so deep and glossy. It appears impeccably finished. Im still learning how to get the case back open a little more seamlessly, totally scared I'm scratching up the case back in the process. The leather strap is gonna need some work to break in as it's super stiff. It's the glossy gator so it dresses it up. I'll look into matte options on strap from PP, hope they make them. Sacrificed my 5167 on bracelet to help with sticker shock. Here she is:

Insurance on Watches
I wanted to see how many of you guys had insurance on your time pieces. I have only this one Panerai and I was thinking about getting insurance on it since I have insurance on the wife's ring in case it gets lost or stolen but wondered if it was worth getting on the watch.I got quoted at $755 a year for insurance to add it to my homeowners. As much as i love the piece of mind I am wondering if it's really worth it. At that rate I could just save it up and buy a new watch in a few years lol.EDIT: Just heard back about insurance. That was the price of everything I have on the policy together lol. Other Jewelry, homeowners etc...not just the watch alone...sorry guys.

Strap maker rankings
I've been flipping PAM straps now for a couple of years & for now have pretty much settled on a stable collection of 7 or 8. I've tried a wide range but now gravitate toward finished edges & less beat up looking straps.After having ordered straps from a bunch of prominent strap makers, here is how I would rank them in general. Obviously a very subjective list & perhaps had I ordered a different strap from some of these I would have had a different impression. Customer service has been good from pretty much all of them.I'd be interested to know what others think:1-Mario Paci 2-Greg Stevens3-Micah4-Simona5-Rob Montana6-Dirk7-Gunny8-Europelli9-Ted Su10-Toshi
