ever randomly see or meet a person wearing a PAM?
ever randomly see or meet a person wearing a PAM?
i have only seen one PAM wearer in my life, maybe its because i live in a place where PAMs are not that popular? |

I actually haven't. Live in a lesser populated area of the world. It doesn't surprise me that you haven't though. Can't imagine large populations of 'Risti's in Antarctica...

Yes, yesterday I was in a boutique in NYC and there was at least 5 guys wearing Panerai around me. What a coincidence!
Ok, maybe the fact that it was the Panerai boutique may explain the coincidence |

I went into a shop selling Seikos and Grand Seikos. The sales comments on my 233 and tells me he also wears a PAM 111.

On average, I see about 10-12 PAMs a day. There was a time when it was worth starting a conversation about them but now they're so common that a lot of people wearing them have no idea what they are

Panerai is very popular in Asia also PAM has limited production and is hard to get for certain models.

Other than mine, I have only seen ONE before that. That maybe what drew me into the Paneristi mindset. I'm also a Breitling fan and I've only seen a handful of them. I have, however, seen countless Rolex Submariniers.

So do I! He passed at my cash where I work and I saw it, couldn't help but compliment him on it and he seemed rather pleased about it. He told me it was his grail and his girlfriend bought it for him...I need to find that girl and marry her!

Seen a few in New York while there on business, and a one while in the Las Vegas airport.
