Thanks a lot everyone for your welcoming comments

Every single detail is just insanely great and you can feel the craftsmanship that was put into this brand.

I can't hardly take it off my wrist:

good buy. it's the most iconic rolex out there. but why would you want the same model without the date? just stick to this one is good enough!

Congratulations on an amazing watch. I wish mine looked as good on me as yours does on you, if it had I would have kept it.
Too much wrist, not enough watch for me:(

Maybe the DSSD would be better for your wrists?

I went for the no date, but the date version is just as nice.

Can I ask the OP how you find the size difference after trading your PAM's??

I am tempted to trade my PAM177 towards either a Sub or GMT. My only Rolex is a Exp II 42mm noir and this sits nicely between these size-wise.

Thanks

I share your sentiments. It's why I love the brand. You can just feel and see the quality. The black is just mesmerizing.

Not a problem. I thought I will miss 44mm PAM but to be honest Sub C sits way more comfortable, feels more solid and has great presence on my almost 7" wrist.

It wasn't easy for me but I would do it again and again. I'm 37 and been wearing Panerai for the last 4 years and most likely will get it again but Rolex really made me appreciate how I feel about quality.

It's been 4 days and it's as accurate as on day one. Trust me, I was staring at my wrist every 5 minutes trying to see if I indeed made a wrong choice going from 44mm to 40mm but it's not the case.

I like Panerai, it's history and Paneristi community and once I'm ready, I'm getting myself another timepiece but I'm extremely happy that I made the switch.

Congrats! A great and iconic timepiece. I flipped my Pam's for Rolex too. I'll get another Pam one day, perhaps. But only after I get another Rolex

The subc wears like a 42mm so its not such a change from a 44mm. I have APs and Breitlings at 44mm and the subc has been fine for me too.
