P00164 is the watch that sparked his fascination with watches and horology. A gift from his wife for his 30th birthday, the Panerai was actually Greg's second watch; he had worn an Omega Seamaster for 10 years prior. With its mixture of brushed and polished finishes and the legible numerals on the dial, the watch matches his casual style. Over the years, his tastes have changed and his collection has grown, but the Panerai still gets a lot of wrist time.
