Even has a Cyclops unlike the SD. Weird looking Cyclops that is, looks very blurry from the sides, looks like you have to have it at a small location to see it perfectly clear.

Nice one, Daren!

As in the television show "Dinosaurs", it's "Not da Blue Sub"...

Don't know if I still have VHSes of them. I remember being in bed sipping on cold Milk with Pink Neqsuik nice and cold, in my nice cold-feeling comforting bed, with my body wrapped in the sheets, watching it on the tv. Like at 3 years old.

Man I love that little baby's voice. HAHAHA lol.

I love the Pam 87. Was it very hard to find? That particular series was discontinued in 2005, I think. I got Panerai fever! Got the 88 a few months ago and want an 87, 243 or 252.

Congrats. Wear it in good health.

Mike, like a true Paneristi, I bought the strap first, LOL!! Pics sometime, this hotel living is not real conducive to wanting to take watch pics.

Just had to do a little poking and prodding, nothing is too hard.

I really like this one alot, I have owned 24's and 25's in the past, but this baby is beefy and thick!!

88 still is my favorite, but this one will see its share of wrist time.

Darren, and one tough looking watch.

That is possibly the nicest Pam sub I've seen.
Well done Darren.
You Paneria guy's and Amanda have corrupted me and I am now considering going for a Paneria myself.
The only thing is I really don't like the sub seconds hand I think it cheapens the look of the watch in pics posted here.
Is this the case in the flesh??
Cheers,

Spark.

You have to see a Pam in real life. No picture does it justice. The second hand looks a bit naff in the pics but it is actually quite inconspicuous on the large dial. You could also look at the base models (000 or 112) which don't have the second hand.
There's a few ad's in London, maybe its time for a trip

The Pammy certainly makes the sub look a like a seven stone weakling.

I like it !!
