seafoam Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 So i've taken the PAM plunge and the water is perfect. This is the first Panerai in my box. Ok, I dont have a box yet but i will need one soon. I'm hooked. Enjoy the semi crappy photos. seafoam ps. this one is the 168 (163 on jpc's site) 40 mm with a leather strap with deployment buckle. It has the Asia 7750 Valjoux. It sounds like a slow beat however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 40mm's are nice for us wee wristed folks (6.5in). They're hard to come by though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hackR Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 @seafoam --> oh no!!!...you didn't buy THAT PAM?!...that one is riddled with all sorts of issues... pause, pause, pause... only kidding...(warped sense of humor implied)... welcome to the jungle!... PAMs are a social watch...they need to have company...you can't just have one...afterall, the 40mm models are born after mating the 44mm and the 47mm models... i started with a 239 Submersible "destro"...then a 251 Daylight...then a 112h... and they are a cobbler's dream...afterall, you need a variety of straps to keep them happy thru the seasons... once again, leave your wallet at the door -- and welcome to the jungle!... seriously -- congrats on the 168!...

R- You had me for a second there rhack1. I am looking forward to submersing myself in the PAM jungle. I just wish there was more availability of the 40mm's. I may have to try a 44mm jobby. I was actually concidering the 183. Anyway, thanks for commenting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidBreitling Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Seafoam, two comments, don't be shy about a 44mm size, they have a way of looking good on any wrist size, and be aware that the SS bracelet is heavy, particularly in the 24mm form. My first Pam and 88, has morphed into 4 in less than three months, a rate even bunnies would be proud of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK471 Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Once you try 44mm, you'll love it. Then just try go back to something smaller.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
