Panerai Weekend: Collector's Discussion

Panerai (I respect the brand ethos for others) is not my kind of watch but I love this one as it is less obtrusive.

1. That’s a fine-looking PAM right there. Love the dial color. Share a lume shot when you can 2. PAMs are PAMs, especially the 44-47mm variety. Unless you are Mr Terminator and have a wrist which could swallow such a monstrosity, the destro will look just the same when worn on either wrist. So just enjoy it. I miss mine dearly, and thanks to the inspiration from you, Tony, Yacomino and several others, I may return soon

I had sold off my original couple of Pams, but was always enamored enough to want one available, for when the feeling hits…which is why I bought the 372 as my one and only. But then, as you point out, the influences of Sergio, Yacomino, Ahoi, Aperna and others really make you appreciate certain pieces on a deeper level. But it’s a slippery slope for me, so I need to curb my enthusiasm for a couple other references I really admire. The 605 is one of them. Nevertheless, below are a couple of 1075

I had a 359 that I pined over for years but ended up buying as an impulsive purchase at the wrong time. Got into a whole lot of financially trouble Bc of it, and that made me swear to never buy another PAM. I know realize that I won’t be able to keep my word for much longer. Would love to own a 233 one day

You gotta see in real though. And it’s not At all too big for your wrist .

if it wasn’t 47mm The usually darker dial colors of Pams definitely reinforces a macho, military aggressiveness. In the case of this 1075, I think it’s the contrast of those qualities in one watch that caught my attention.
