PAM 212i on OEM MX Semimatte Croc

Recommended Posts

Got this updated version of 212i from the cartel and put on a MX Semimatte Black Croc straps with deployment buckle. The look is immaculate... and the feel is more. At first this was meant to be a temporary straps for the watch while I hunt for a gen OEM carbon fiber straps, but after I put it on I began to wonder... "Why didn't Panerai match this watch with a croc instead?" I find it so much nicer than the original carbon fiber that comes with 212!

For the quality of this watch, I seriously am not bothered by the mineral crystal, not unless I'm going to take this watch for a walk in the rain and watch the raindrops smudge. The only thing that bothers me, if I must share one, is the length of the chrono buttons. For ages, I've always felt that the chrono buttons of all PAM 212 reps (including this one) are longer than the gen. Other than that, I'm all happy with it!

Nice Pics mate :) Congrats

Not so sure I agree on the chrono pushers though, having had similar concerns myself even back with the older versions and having searched (and using simple ratios) many pics and angles the best being from case back shots...I think if there is a difference it appears to be with the angle of them rather than the length.

Of course the finish is slightly different so again it could be that, that gives the impression :)

Love that strap..it is my favorite OEM gator and I've had just about all of em. It's my go to. Nice watch too.

It just shows how tastes vary, I had a few myself of these and always found them too plain for the PAM IMHO :)
