Which Panerai are you wearing today...

Just got this beauty a few days ago. PAM 00050. I love the look on the bracelet. I know not a traditional PAM look, but I do have a leather strap for it as well.

Welcome to the forums! Panerai makes an awesome stainless steel bracelet, and it does look good on that model. Don't see a lot of photos with the bracelet.

Cheers,

Thanks Carl! I love the bracelet. Super unique design to the links. And very easy to adjust size as well. Glad to be here.

PAM a day keeps a Rolex away!

Looks like the text on the dial of my PAM 720 disappeared!





Have a great weekend everyone!

Thanks Erik. If it was not for the Vancouver Panerai Boutique, I may never have even owned a Panerai. For years, there were two ADs here in Vancouver who carried the brand. However, I they never had a model that I was really interested in. And I normally will not buy a watch unless I can see it in real life. When the Boutique opened, it was like a treasure trove for me. Starting with a 562 a few months ago, Luminor 8 Day Titanium with brown dial, which I still love. Now I have a collection of 5! Really the mainstay of my collection.

Fantastic story mate...what is the state of your Panerai collection?

Thanks for asking. I just can't fit all my watches in my Signature section:

Luminor 8 Day Titanio 44mm PAM 562
Luminor 1950 3 Day Marina Militare Acciaio 47mm PAM 673
Radiomir 3 Day California Acciaio 47mm PAM 424
Radiomir 3 Day Acciaio 47mm PAM 720
Radiomir 3 Day Acciaio 47mm PAM 721

Total of 5. Love each and every one. The thing I find about Panerai more than any other brand I have owned, is that each one kind of becomes my favorite on any given day. Never any doubt whether or not I picked the right watch for that particular day. Hope that makes sense.

Cheers
Carl

Wow Carl—you have a little bit of everything and you captured the collection in less than a year—very impressive.

I apologise in advance for this unsolicited advice-/I would look at other options for the 720–mainly the 449. The reason is that the 720 and 721 dials are exactly the same—fine if you have ten PAMs but maybe a little redundant with five. With the 449, you can get the same exact case, plexi, movement and blue hands of the 720, but you get a different dial design. So it gives you a little more variety, and you can pick one up for pretty much the same price give or take. Just something to think about...in any event, big congrats on a great collection—I can’t wait to see what 2019 brings for you!

I agree. The 449 is a wonderful option. After I got my 424, I was considering the 425 (I'm a sucker for the manned torpedo on the S.L.C. dial). It will be a while before I get another watch of any make or model, but the 425 or 449 are definitely a great attraction for me.

This was my first PAM many moons ago. It’s a versatile and beautiful example. Enjoy and welcome!

Luminor 1950 Marina Militare 3 Days - 2016 Special Edition Model - newly arrived:









This is the biggest watch I have ever owned. Thicker than the Radiomir 47mm and longer lugs. Nevertheless, very comfortable, none of the top heavy feeling I thought it might have. This really makes for a very special weekend. Hope you all have a great weekend as well!

Cheers,
Carl

^ Congratulations!! Very nice.

Congrats Carl! This is a big surprise as I thought you were pulling the trigger on the 720! Great choice with the 673!! Enjoy and wear it well!

Interestingly, I thought the case size of the 721 and 673 is the same; obviously with the lugs being different...
