Without further ado ... here she is!

Urosfan · 7 June 2014, 02:12 AM

Looks bad ass

wmh2 · 7 June 2014, 03:05 AM

That looks awesome! Welcome back.

1st amg · 7 June 2014, 03:18 AM

That looks hot! Congratulations on an excellent purchase, stunning

masterserg · 7 June 2014, 04:09 AM

Here's a snap of the backside. Hard to capture with the smoked crystal (looks awesome IRL).

Travelller · 7 June 2014, 04:28 AM

Nice! So where did you go since you were last a PAM owner?

All over the place! Mostly AP ... but I realized that HH is not for me at this point in my life (as much as I love the brand).

Sweet! Nothing like taking home a new watch and realize how much you like it!

Yeah! I might add that the 441 is a fairly rare bird which is kinda cool!

mfer · 7 June 2014, 09:36 AM

Looks awesome. Congrats.

PS - Make sure it is insured against damage (and theft)! Case repair will run you the same cost as the watch.

LOVE IT CONGRATS

Agricola · 7 June 2014, 09:53 AM

Just when I thought I had my next watch picked out; you go and post this pic. Thanks.

HL65 · 7 June 2014, 10:33 AM

Nice...Congrats Serg!

sea-dweller · 7 June 2014, 11:10 AM

Very nice!

Time Collector · 7 June 2014, 01:11 PM

Good to have you back

Mastergreenhand · 7 June 2014, 01:14 PM

Congrats and welcome back. Panerai has a way of calling you if you let it go.

Cru Jones · 7 June 2014, 04:47 PM

What a great watch! This is one where the faux patina works really well with the Arabics, ceramic case and Asso strap. Congrats!

dalip · 7 June 2014, 05:12 PM

Superb..congrats

Psmith · 7 June 2014, 08:45 PM

Congrats!

masterserg · 7 June 2014, 10:40 PM

Thanks guys! I really like this one!

Re. whether the material is fragile or not ... I've seen the pictures of a shattered case, but who knows what the owner did? Obviously I do not want to jinx it so knock on wood, but it is super robust and with some basic care it should not have any issues.

masterserg · 8 June 2014, 01:43 AM

A few more shots. I LOVE this piece!

Wristshot on Micah's Brindle.

The profile and the domed crystal are to die for!

Lume ain't bad either ...

TAKUYA · 8 June 2014, 09:49 AM

Very cool and very beautiful pics!

Congrats!!!

Yeah, I sold mine when I let go of the 233. Have to find another one!

Thanks for all these pix, Serg. The strap combos are great.

How is the strap changing? Are the screws PVD?

texex91 · 8 June 2014, 10:59 PM

Late congrats--looks great Serg!

masterserg · 8 June 2014, 11:15 PM

Thanks Cru!

The screws are not PVD. They have a satin finish but they are not black. They look like titanium (the case back is PVD titanium). The quick release system would be nice but too much of a risk on a ceramic case (I understand the QR system cannot be repaired if it jams). The threads are not machined on the ceramic. Instead, there is a cap like piece inserted on the female end of the lug holes. I have never handled a steel PAM other than the 233 so I do not know if this is the case with all the models that use screws.

Cru Jones · 9 June 2014, 12:10 AM

Thanks for the details! Such a great watch.
