PAM190 & PAM111 pictures

Everyone, here's my new PAM190 and PAM111 with better pictures, as promised. I can't stop thinking about Panerai, and all the models I want for the collection. Just too much $$$ to spend! Again, thanks for everyone's help with the purchase decisions.

Two very nice watches you have there - congratulations!

Hey I'm curious, I have the Radiomir Black Seal (PAM287) and wondering is the 8 days the same size case or smaller?

I think they are the same 45mm case. I love the 287 too, very practical for everyday wear. Enjoy!

Very nice indeed!!

I'm awaiting the call from my AD for the 111. Hien, do you find that the case and bezel are too shiny/blingy on the 111? I have contemplated getting the 177 instead because I might find the 111 too flashy..........your thoughts?

Felly, man you're just too Panerai these days Well, the PAM111 is very nice for an everyday watch. Too flashy? Not at all! I really don't like titanium, just because of the color and light weight. I preferred a rock solid watch, heavy like a man's watch Really, it's down to personal taste. But as for PAM111, the shiny case really brings out the look of the watch, especially, when the dial a black and plain with leather strap. Trust me, you will love it! I know, I can trade for your PAM270 Even trade? J/K Get it and you will wear it everyday for sure!

Felly, I was originally torn between the 104 and 177; I was leaning toward the 177 for similar reasons as you mention above. Make sure you see the 177 in person, after finaly seeing it I would have gone with the 104. I personally think the brushed steel is a better look compared to the titanium. I ended up getting the best of both worlds with my 233 and then sum.

Rgds,

Marc

Actually, the PAM190 8-day last close to 10 days. I will have the details when it stops. Thanks!

I could not disagree more about Ti. Out of 15 PAMs I wear my 279 by far the most. The tobacco dial is stunning and I greatly prefer the weight to steel IMHO.
