How does a Pam 359 look with a ss bracelet?
Thinking about finally pulling the trigger on a Pam 359. Love the polished case, love the ability to change straps to my liking,
but also want to be able to use a bracelet on it if I wish. Only thing is, as most of you know, the ss bracelet is a brushed finish, not polished. Has anyone tried to use a polished/brushed ss bracelet with the 359? If so can you post pics? I googled it to no avail. Thanks!!!

If you like the 359 go for it! It's a great looking watch. I have never seen the 359 on a bracelet. I personally think Panerai and leather is a match made in heaven. What other Pam models are you considering? Good luck with your decision.

i may be mis-remembering, but, if not orginally an SS bracelet model, the OEM bracelet will not fit the 359. something to do with the lugs.
beyond that, the fully polished case will probably look a bit off with a brushed bracelet? |

Agreed....just wondering what the look would be. I love Panerai, and I really like the 359...another consideration would be the 531. One of the things I like most about the watch brand is the versatility with the straps....can dress it up or make it more sporty just by changing the strap type and color. I love the option to switch to a bracelet also tho...which is why I have also considered the 328. Only issue with that one is that I like the ecru patina of the 359 more, and I really like the fully polished case!
