Do you like blue dials?

I do. Hope everyone is doing well under the circumstances. Stay safe!

I used to have the PAM560 but sold it to a friend. As a replacement I wanted a Luminor 1950 with a blue dial and GMT. I've been eyeing the PAM1033 for some time.

While on holiday in Florence, Italy last November, I went to the boutique near the Duomo and asked if they had the PAM1033, they didn't and I kinda expected that response. At that time for some reason it was hard to find. The SA at the boutique said that production would ramp up in early 2020. Maybe she was right, who knew. They did have a few blue-dialed Luminor Due models but I wasn't interested in this product line. She finally showed me the limited edition PAM986 and I loved it. The extra complications looked very attractive and of course the gorgeous blue dial. Honestly I didn't pull the trigger then because it was significantly more than the 1033. That said, since then I just couldn't get the 986 off my mind. Recently I found another boutique that had it in stock and voila I'm a Panerai owner again! Here is my 986 catching some sun.
