Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of the most famous people who no only wears Panerai watches, but was also one of the first, and his Panerai history is intertwined with his great pal, Sylvester Stallone. Arnold is pictured below a few decades ago wearing an original Pre-V Panerai.
When Arnold Schwarzenneger was the Governor of the state of California, he started rocking a Panerai Egiziano, which is pictured below on his wrist.
In this recent video Arnold is doing shtick with some funny dudes, and he is wearing his Panerai Egiziano.

Traveller's Panerai PAM00233
44MM Luminor Panerai GMT 8 Days
Traveller took these stunning photos of his Panerai PAM 233 GMT 8 Days, which is one beautiful and innovative watch. The watch has an 8 day power reserve, and I love this brown 24/24/4 strap.
The macro image below shows not only the pin hole, but if you look closely you will notice a perpendicular hole inside the lug that has a spring loaded tooth protruding into it. This is part of Panerai's Patented Quick-Change system, which is extremely innovative.

Tony Robbins On Enjoying The Passage Of Time
...Time Quote Of The Day...
Tony Robbins
On Enjoying The Passage Of Time
Tony Robbins is probably the world's top motivational coach today, and he has written some deeply profound books on leadership. Tony Robbins is pictured below wearing his Panerai Radiomir Black Seal. The photo below shows Tony Robbins when he was the guest host on Piers Morgan Tonight.
Time is emotion and life is finite duration, so it's amazing how long a minute can feel, or how short it can be–and it's all based on how much enjoyment you extract from your life. –Tony Robbins
So what model Panerai is Tony Robbins wearing? I can't see enough detail to confirm the exact model, but my best guess is he is wearing a Composite Radiomir Black Seal PAM 504 (47MM) or 505 (PAM505).

Italian Royal Navy Panerai
...Vintage Panerai Coolness...
Italian Royal Navy Panerai
This is a very cool image of two Italian Royal Navy commandos, and the man pictured on the right, is wearing an original vintage Panerai. He is standing next to a fellow Italian Royal Navy commando wearing a re-breather suit.
So which Panerai model is the man wearing in the photo above? I don't know for certain, but my best guess is that he was wearing a 3646, similar to the one pictured below, which was made the late 1930s. You can always learn much more about the history of Panerai by visiting my story named The Complete History Of Panerai.
Notice the vintage Panerai pictured above has its wire lugs welded to the case. This means that if you wanted to change the strap, you would have to not only cut of the old one, but you would have to sew the new one onto the watch!

Visiting The Panera Boutique In Beverly Hills
Visiting The Panerai Boutique In
Beverly Hills
Recently I spent some time in the Beverly Hills Panerai Boutique, and I had so much fun, and learned so much! I noticed they redecorated the Beverly Hills Panerai store since the last time I visited, over a year ago, and it looks great!
As you can see in the photo below, they now have a giant photo of a vintage Reference 6152, or Reference 6154, which has lume that is really dark and looks like fossilized tree sap. I love that watch and really hope they come out with a heritage version of it sometime soon.
If you are not familiar with the Beverly Hills Panerai Boutique, I will share some insight and history with you. The Beverly Hills Panerai Boutique was the very first Panerai Boutique, and when it first opened, nine years ago in 2005, Panerai had no idea how it would do? It was really kind of an experiment, which ended-up being extremely successful! Nine short years later, Panerai now has 65 international boutiques, which are extremely successful.
The staff at the Beverly Hills boutique are superb, and extremely knowledgable. They are also really nice, and when I spent time in the store, I noticed it almost had a club-like environment. There were loyal customers just hanging out in the store chatting with each other. That is kind of the thing about Panerai; If you meet somebody wearing a Panerai, chances are you could end up having a friend for life. There is just something very cool about the mentality of people that wear Panerai that is outstanding.
One of the things I got to see in the Panerai store was the all-new Panerai desk/wall clocks, and they were beautiful. I took some photos of the new Panerai wall clock and the Hygrometer next to my PAM372 to offer a sense of scale, since the Panerai wall clock looked so much larger in person than in the press photos I recently published.
I forgot to take a photo of the back of the wall clock, but I noticed it has 3 keyhole slots for wall-mounting, so you can keep it perfectly balanced on the wall.

Howard Stern is one fascinating cat, so it is cool to see him rockin' a Luminor Panerai. Howard is known for being outlandish at times, but when I looked at this photo, it kind of dawned on me that most men and women who wear Panerai watches are Alpha in personality. Fascinating Captain!

PAM 372 On a Black Leather Strap
...Panerai Studio Shot Of The Day...
PAM 372 On a Black Leather Strap
I have been looking for a long time to find a photo of a good looking black strap on a PAM372, and I don't recall ever seeing one. I have seen some black straps with white or ecru contrast stitching, but I can't figure out if I like that look. I definitely like the look of a black strap with black stitching, since it puts more focus on the watch and looks simple and masculine, and kind of mil-spec stealth.
I was wandering through my Panerai archive and stumbled into this photo of a 372 on an all black strap and I really like the look. This strap has a sewn in flat buckle, which I don't like.
I know some people think it looks more old-school-vintage with a sewn-in flat buckle, but I prefer the curved OEM buckle that comes standard with a PAM 372. A friend of mine once said he thought the curved OEM Panerai buckle looks like it belongs in the Museum Of Modern Art, since it is so streamlined and I agree.
I like the curved OEM buckle style (not shown) and I think it makes the 372 look more modern and timeless, and smaller. I have no idea what type of strap this is, but I saw it listed as being made out of Buffalo leather.
In the future, I plan to do a detailed story on all the different Panerai OEM strap that are available for the 372, and I will included photos that show all the different straps.
