Welcome to RG!

I started out like you two years ago and now I'm modding and servicing my own watches and have amassed a huge amount of horological info that is squirreled away in my brain. Take your time and do a lot of reading- especially the stickies at the top of each section. That'll give you some great base knowledge to work off of.

BTW- Even I can't keep up with all the Panerai info... guys really need to be savants to remember the minutae of that damn brand
