A great model
Looks good on you which is not easy considering the dimensions. Nothing irks me more than gmt watches with 12 hr hands and no am/pm indicator.
Here is another Panerai, I picked up last year, and I am really enjoying it!
It's a 44mm, 1950 Luminor case, in brushed steel, with a beautiful shiny bezel and a domed sapphire glass. The hands are silver, and really pop out of this beautiful sandwich dial with the lume Pam's are famous for... It's one of the early version Pam-233...
Yes, it's on a 12h rotation, which is great!
Meaning that you can hide the GMT hand behind the hour hand, and you could never guess it is a GMT at this stage. Looks like a clean 3 hand, the am/pm is featured by a dot that shows white or black in 12 hours rotation. No quick set date, but quick hour s...
Nice one! 👌🏻🤩
Is the GMT hand really fully hidden behind the hour hand? It doesn’t look like…¿
You are correct, on the pics above, the GMT is actually set on a time zone.
But I am putting a picture below, when the GMT os set at the same time as local hour, and than, it is invisible, as it will run with the hour hand in a 12h cycle, and the GMT hand is designed in a way that it is totally hidden by the hour hand. ...
When it came out....
I knew a lot less about Panerai. A friend of mine told me it was a "milestone" model and a must have. I bought it, of course, and used it for a while. It didn't last that long though. The "fangs" did me in, in the end. Keep enjoying yours....too much
Hi Sergio! Yes, I can understand that the "fangs" or "dog teeth"is an acquired taste, you either love it or hate it.
It's the kind of detail that is a deal breaker for some, or a reason to want it. I love it, so far it is the Pam I like the most, the 44mm has a good presence, without being too much of a statment, it's all in my comfort zone. Thanks for your input. Take ...

I like the fact it is a 44mm case frankly.
It's a 12h GMT which has a "dot on the dial at 6 in the second subdial", that turns from black to white every 12h to indicate am/pm.. its reads at a glance, very minimalist to see, and very subtle. They only did this for 3 years.. Great touch!
Ultimate modern Panerai; loved this reference;
Especially if you wanted something more than time only
