Hi All,

When I bought my PAM275 I also ordered the OEM Waterbuffalo strap that comes as standard on the Ceramic version of my watch, the PAM317.

I didn't realise from the images I had seen of it that it was so soft to the touch, almost like suede.

I think it looks stunning on the PAM275.

My AD also threw in a free OEM stainless steel buckle. The receipt said the buckle should have been £180! No wonder Panerai through in the tools to do the change for the second strap instead of supplying it with its own buckle.

Here are a few quick and dirty pictures:

Truly beautiful watch Ricardo. :thumbsup:

How's the timekeeping proving to be? I've heard similar tales of mega-gains with the 8 Day manual (and the 10 Day auto found in the 270), as I find with my Big Lemon.... sorry, I mean Big Pilot.

I really hope it's timekeeping is OK for you, because it's a stunning piece.

Thank You for Your kind words Mr Driver.

Happily, I am able to report that my 275 is well within COSC limits. I got a certificate from the COSC quoting + 2.7 seconds per day. That was just the movement, of course. However, now the watch has settled down it is better than that. It gains about 10 seconds every two weeks.

Superb - you can't go far wrong with timings like that. :thumbsup:

Thinking about it again, it may be just the 10 Day auto that has the problem. I know of at least two people who own 270's and both report serious time gains per day.

Anyway, really glad yours in within COSC specs.
