Many moons ago, a 172

Maybe the best one out there. I traded to get one and never looked back, I still own and wear in in rotation. The blue hues make it such and interesting metal, the movement and finishing are average but it doesn’t matter, looking at his watch is special l...

I never knew that PAM made a tantalum piece. Wow!!!!
They make the 172 and the 192 Chrono

I believe the 192 has a Lemania chronograph movement but was much less popular than the simpler 172 with a Panerai movement. at the time I could’ve bought either one but went with the simplest one that seems to show off the tantalum better because of the ...
