Well, got my PAM 50 the other day. Must say is one excellent watch!

Bracelet was a little stiff and sharp at first, but after several days seems smoother and broken in. Bracelet is ver solid and the no taper thick design give a nice uniform look tothe bracelet and looks strong on the wrist.

The Lum is the best I have ever seen on a watch! Can read the watch all night long.

Has held up good in the pool on some long swims.

The dial is very clean looking and the case has a nice shape to it. Keeping great time, seems to be right on after several days.

Had to get a little use to feeling the rotor move. Kind of weird at first, but now it is kind of cool and seems as if the watch is alive. Use to it now. One of the Panarai dealers, no the one I bought the watch from, explained to me that PAMs use larger parts that they subcontract out to have built, thus very realiable, but can feel/hear the movement better.
Definately the largest and heaviest watch I have ever owned, but used now to the wieght and feels pretty good. I personally would not get a watch larger than this one. Makes my Rolex Explorer II watches seem ultra light and small after wearing this PAM

OVerall, very happy with this watch. Fits great, looks great, and very rugged.

One word to describe this watch, "SOLID".

Great write up Chad. I love the rotor wobble on my 104. Sometimes I flick my wirst to start her up.

leopardprey · 24 April 2007, 08:48 PM

OK, I bought a camera, just now have to take it out of the box and figure how to use it! Will try to post some pics tomorrow.

Could you let us see the picture of your PAM0050?

I have a PANERAI,It is a PAM 111

veilstylez · 18 May 2007, 05:32 PM

man right now I am deciding on the pam050 or buying back my sub I sold 2months go from the guy I sold it to. I can't decide...I really want the sub but I also want the pam too, but cant have both..atleast not right now.
I had a 104 and 111 but was way to big on my6.5in wrist, and now I want the pam50, 40mm is perfect. Where are the pics?

mailman · 18 May 2007, 07:29 PM

How about a wrist shot Chad

Chad must be camera shy.
I like the Panerai range except for one thing. Why is the crown fitted with a 'mudguard'?
