I saw the for-sale post of Shultz for his PAM239 with Takashi datewheel and that inspired me to take out mine, finally install the 2geek datewheel that was sitting in my parts-box and do a few new pix. The 239 is one of my favorite PAMs and a sure keeper.
The PAM239 Destro is a limited series of only 75 pieces which were made in 2006 especially for the French Jeweler Chronopassion, a Panerai AD in Paris. The series sold out quickly and today, these watches are hard to get and pricey. It was the only time that Panerai made a Destro model in the Submersibile case and the only time it made a limited series for one of its retailers.
