PAM 720. I am truly thankful for the opportunity to own this model. While I like and appreciate all Panerai models, this brings out the "purist" in me better than any new model I can find:











Cheers,
Carl

Found it on eBay. From a seller called trandafil1972. It is from Bulgaria. Bronze with patina treatment. I actually used a polishing cloth to remove some of the black patina, and let more of the bronze shine through. It is a very, thick buckle and takes a bit of getting used to. Also, if you google "MAS Buckles" you will get a lot of links to various sites selling fancy buckles.

Cheers,
Carl

Thank you! The buckle does take some getting used to due to the size. It does not dig into my wrist or anything, but it is quite heavy. Now I am used to it, I love it, though.
