Horological Meandering

Wearing the watch this weekend 2022 I have had it 10 years and rarely worn I have the pleasure of presenting a few pictures of this beauty PAM00372. As you can see the watch is hitting the streets running. Panerai PAM 372. This hand-wound beauty is surly ...  

captues the watch beautifully , very emotive ! Like the way you capture the sandwich dial, displays the watch in all its glory. That invariably will hurt some wallets, which will also sink in emotively after the money has gone from the bank acct. Not seen... 

You have a valid point with the movement position. I look at more from the industrial look that it has to fit the "tool", ok that's a big word, aspect. I think a solid back would be more historic but I think Panerai is proud of its in-house movement so th... 

Thanks for making my morning! Grazie! Stephen

But with the hot watches adorning your wrist it will be hard to get more than a morning but I will take it. Thanks Bill

Which i should receive not too long from now! Thanks! Stephen

Congratulations. No need to say well done because you know this already. I am sure you will get plenty enjoyment with it on your wrist. Oh and my eyes want to thank you for the wonderful images you generously shared.

You are absolutely correct. This is an example well executed. Time will tell. I am still a fiddy fan because I stareed late. The old guarde like you and Nico that had the nose to know this was a killer brand took early risks to support the brand. In some ... 

Regardless whereas it is intentional, this is a great piece. The reduction in size and the 3 days movement, a winner in an instant. That the kind of ideas that does need no secrets, just positioning the product w here it is needed and expected. Back to bl...

I think you are..... I will wait and see and never say never... Thanks Bill

You know this is going to be part of your collection. I have not seen your fiddy because you must be hiding it. This is the historic piece your collection must have. wrist shots coming. Bill

Let me first get my two JLC DSA's and give some further thoughts to the PAM 372. Best regards, George

I mean , when it was announced at the SIHH? Anyway, this is certainly a hit. One I would like to see in the flesh, once again. Can you bring it with you, with the 127, for some pictures? Superb post, once again, my friend. Best, Nicolas.

This is a perfect execution and with added values, making it too limited would be a waste, if they indeed increased the run the better, this way we will have a chance to see a few around and on wrists. How often to you get to see a PAM 3A? I say too littl... 

But as you said, it doesn't really matter. And yes, I'm happy to see that Panerai decided to make more, which are not OOR or, how they say, ghost? Best, Nicolas.

If this is the case, no more OOR and Shadows, clean run of 5000 pieces and everybody is happy. Notwithstanding that for such a piece it is a winner regardless and anyway. I am sure you are thinking and cooking something. See that's the problem with addict... 

My italian oven is empty, sadly. Best, Nicolas.

She will tell you, in person. Sto Cazz! Best, Nicolas.

She will show you Jamaica and have you dance for a l o n g t i m e

BUT, if you're lucky enough, there will be some Jamaica for you, too.... Ok, do you still have a free room in your house for me? Best, Nicolas.

I have some recordings that would demonstrate how educated, kind and generous theose foreigners are, we French often have a bad reputation, wait you hear what I have you will easily understand we are far better than some others, hein Nico?

Bill, I was lucky also. IMHO 50-60 or more have hit the streets in the last few days in the USA.. The smooth strap is unique. It has a smell to it that makes me think it is cordovan leather. ( only cordovan has that type of scent) The texture also reminds... 

For a big guy like you the 47mm is a perfect fit. Us little just barely pull it off. Congrats. Bill

Killer shots like adman7's second picture a few posts below. Sexy voluptuous looking curves on that plexi which your photographs reveals. I tried a roadshow 372 a few weeks back and i know I want one desperately. Still waiting for a 390 on waiting list qu...

a Perfect Super Model to Photograph.! MANY Congrats Bill. WOW.what can i say. i'm really in LOVE with this Watch. and the Wait is killing me..hope someday soon :0))) Cheers Tony

I am pretty sure that all those who are focused will get their hands on one with a run this large. I am sure you will be sporting yours very soon. Bill

Enjoy it and wear it in good health! One of this days you're gonna have to write some tips to take pictures so gorgeous like yours Maybe a workshop? Best regards. René

Nicolas is the king of pics. I just take a lot and hope for the best. At the end of the day it is all about the light. Macro shots and try and avoid your own reflection which is pretty damn hard. Bill

I'm in for a Vlad's Advanced Master Photo (Read V.A.M.P) Techniques Course LOL!!! Have a nice day Bill, AND CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN. René

Wrists shots soon. Happy Thanksgiving. Bill

Happy thanksgiving to you too Bill, enjoy it along with your beautiful collection, I guess it's the best time to wear your most loved ones, don't you think? Best. René

I have been fighting the temptation for the 372..but I may have just lost!

Give into those feelings.. you can't fight them.  You know the kid inside us all always wins our minds by pulling on our heart strings. Happy Thanksgiving. Bill

At the Purist-Panerai Dinner at the Soho House I spent a good 10 minutes with this piece and snapped this photo. At the time, I decided to let the 47mm Luminor case go as its just too darn big. But these photos have really ignited my excitement. Your are ...  

Hi. Your pictures are perfect. It's a pleasure to watch them. They actually do justice to a beauty as the 372. And so, they make me envious for this one. Thank you for sharing mon ami.

Mon plaisir mon ami.  If you think the picture look good the watch looks even better in person. I am glad you enjoy the pictures. Bill

Bill, Obviously you know your pics are in the high end of the 1% club!! LOL!! The top half dozen or so watch photographers would be (they are) jealous!! What camera and system did you use for these pics......?? Any macro lenses here? A great landmark watc... 

I am sure we will bump into each soon. No special macro lens just a canon g10 point and shoot. It is mostly the lighting. HAGWE Bill

Congrats to you.  I will bet you will be giving the 372 some serious wrist time over the long weekend. Enjoy it and wear it in good health HAGWE Bill

**green with envy!!** - AT

I graciously accept you compliment. It is all about the passion we put into the brand and the pleasure we get out.  Thanks for the kind words.  Bill

I am glad you enjoyed the picture.

Bill - your first pic....the essence of 372 is well captured ! Plexiglass on the earlier versions is extremely gorgeous...the gilt hands gives a warm feel. I used to have one, but it is with a great friend now - so I'm happy where it is now. Best, mahesh....  

Yours has a great #. Well done, Bill!

Okay so I eventually broke down and got myself a Pam 372 from 10 years ago. One of my favorites.

Cheers
