NWA: Panerai 992
I have had about ten PAM’s over the years and for about four years recently kind of forgot about them as I moved up the chain horologically. But have still always liked the sandwich dial and “discovered” this one that, for me, evokes the unrivaled charm of the 3646 circa late 1930’s, my favorite historical piece.
Don’t fret: I am quite aware of how “incorrect” this is, but my enjoyment of this piece proves to me that I must not be a purist when it comes to Panerai. And that’s okay. This one is Just. So. Cool.

I like this piece. Has a lot of cool features with the sapphire and brushed case and blue hands
… My only Panerai left is a radiomir as well ...
Panerai Watches have a lot of character and I think many “purist” here really do enjoy them!
Here is a picture of mine from yesterday ...
There is something mesmerizing about the Panerai design...
...that is hard to come by elsewhere. Congratulations on this beautiful example!
Your post calls for a.....
whatever floats your boat, man. Enjoy your piece and the feeling it evokes for you...too much!
Elements of history
Congratulations on the piece. When I picked mine up, what I found was that the 992 includes many of the elements I enjoy from Panerai, even though it never existed. The sandwich dial, blued hands, brevettato stamp, 8 day manual wind and bead blasted case ...
I agree with you 100% amarelli —
the keyword for me is harmony — the piece is designed very carefully, balanced and with the Italian sensibility! Also, the finish is very special —
Great shot
It really doesn't matter if this exact configuration existed before...because it exists now for our enjoyment... ...the Rolex Explorer of today also didn't exist when Hillary and and Norgay summited Mount Everest.
I really like this ref
I had a lot of hesitations between this one and the venti, but finally chose the venti ... Wear it in good health 👍🏼
I would chose this piece over venti; ultimately I chose gold hands over blue… prefer domed
Sapphire… but not plexy… not to many choices in the radiomir realm! Even now I haven’t found the “perfect” radiomir 🤦♂️
