Any thoughts on the PAM 779? DLC california Dial
They made 2k in 2019, 1k in 2020 and are discontinuing.
Retail price has dropped from 8100 to 6500 new.
I think its a beautiful watch in in its simplicity...
I just havent seen many around.

I like it, was very close to buying this configuration and may in the future after I wear in my new one for a while — so would go for it.

Looks good. How is the WR on this model? Some of the new models weren’t bothering to provide decent WR.

Wouldn’t pay a premium for any new Panera I but price seems reasonable.

WATER RESISTANCE
"30 bar (~300 metres)"

This a nice look as well I think

Nice, unique! I have a PAM051

Comes with a nice chocolaty brown cuff strap.

Yeah, not a fan of that strap —but that’s another great thing about Panerai: no shortage to strap options to make it your own!

They have this greyish/green strap that would look nice too.

I’m not sure about DLC coatings or titanium.

I applaud Panerai for innovation and using innovate materials in their watches. I’m just not sure if all of them are for me

yes, a new Patina series on calf skin -- olive/black looks cool

Finally pulled the trigger.
6200 NIB
Something about it just speaks to me.
And I think it's a decent price...
Ordering some extra straps as well.

I had a 779 on bund for a short time. The bund was not comfy so switched to a normal strap. Very comfortable but as my only Panerai it didn’t quite scratch the itch. I think it was the sterile dial which is what originally attracted me to it. That and the Cali style. Eventually swapped it for a 351 which I then swapped for a 25. The 25 is a keeper for me. While I really like the other 2 I think I really wanted a submersible.
