And it has arrived
It has arrived in all of its 47MM glory. The Pam 1305. I will say that it being about 10% thinner than the 305 is a big deal and the blue minute hand really sets it off. I would say to anyone looking for a dive watch to look at this or for the smaller wristed fellas the 42MM version. I believe this is about as good as it gets right here. I took more pictures but I cant seem to get them small enough to upload. Ill work on that later

That looks great !!!
I really like the "unpainted" bezel... sets off the dial so well, and I agree the little blue seconds hand gives it a subtle boost... great choice. Congrats... cheers

I agree about the bezel. I considered the sub with black bezel for a second but this to me is way better.

Nice watch congrats.
How does the bezel feel on this one ? I had a 24 from 2006 and the bezel was initially tight, but loosen up quite a bit after few months of casual use. Kind of disappointed seeing how good the bezel on the rolex sub is. Hope they've improved it . |

Most excellent choice, sir. It really looks the business and the blue hand does set off really well against the black dial. Love it!
Many congrats

Thanks, good to know, might look into the newer subs later on!!
Yea I get what you mean about Omega PO bezel- had a 2500 planet ocean and the bezel just felt so cheap, always clunky and lop sided, in fact the ones on the seiko tunas are far better in quality. |
