..i am. I was commenting that 70 turns would be good enough to get the watch up to 80hours PR. I hope OP has a good explanation for what happened to your piece. Hope it all turns out well and do keep us posted in any case. Handle manuals with care!!

posted on WUS that was overwound causing the movt to snap? Sorry if i'm mistaken. This message has been edited by paultsh on 2013-07-30 03:49:09

Amongst those paneristi in the know, i guess having a PR indicator matters. These are just the tip of the whole iceberg of those who wear pams. The trouble is (and a sad thing too), for most guys out there who are merely into the brand because it...

Don't let the colours influence your decision mate! I got my 24 today and i can't imagine it in another weird colour! Personally i think the blue/black GMT is kinda weird. The classic rolex colour is green. I just cannot get my head over the...

..about the pam24. Had the 305 once and I've always likened it to be a warrior of Poseidon's Army, a mythic creature of the deep. There's this mesmerising cold utilitarian stare that it has and your pictures couldn't have done this watch further...

Harsh bright light brings out all the unneccessary ugly details. My preferred watch shots are always those in dim ambient light.

I think the price increases would have to be expected in commensurate with the Brand's huge success in the last decade or so. In this respect, panerai is no different from the Rolex brand. The big problem I see looming ahead of OP is the scope of...
