AT, which bracelet do you prefer?
I just now realized that there was a new bracelet... Why? Personally I like the old one with its links designed to recall the shape of crown protecting device. It was a very recognizable bracelet… strange!
AT, thanks for your picture.
Potential new PAM club member here, plesae educate me!
Hello, First time post here. I suddenly got an urge or itch in Panerai which I admit I had been avoiding due to its size. Today, I walked in a shop where there was a pre-owned but minty 048 + OEM bracelet. I liked white dial (simply because I already have...
Many questions indeed
and you will have to do you research here When you say 'tell me more about Panerai' - that will take time, why don't you stick around this forum, no rush in learning? Cheers and congrats on your new watch! Asi
KIH, I have to agree with Asi
With Panerai, you can't ask all, you have to discover, then, if you don't get something, ask. The discober ( hence, the Homework ) is necessary. 1st question: As for a 40mm Panerai watch, won't I regret it? The Panerai DNA is 44 mm minimum. All those ( we...
If that's the case, I...
If that's the case, I would give up. I am not interested enough. Sorry. Did I ask so many childish questions to touch some people's nerve? If so, I apologize but I didn't mean to. I had done some homework and then came here, but apparently it was not...
Ken, you misunderstood me, my friend
I didn't want to hurt you in my answer. Remember that English is not my native language, too. I just wanted to share with you what is the most interesting with Panerai: The discover. A bit of homework is necessary, and part of the pleasure. The problem wi...
Ken my buddy....
Knew you would one day come and join us! Afterall, who can really resist the Powers of Panerai! LoL I still remembered when I brought you to the boutique here and you weren't even one bit interested! But as Asimut said it, stick around this lounge, and yo...
Stephen, mon ami...
Knew you would jump on my post! Interesting that we are so different, although similar in taste. You like 40mm or larger, I like less than 40mm. We both like same brands, but never the same medel! Not so fast... I am not sure I will dig deeper in Penerai,...
I'll try to help a little...
First, congratulations on your purchase! I can almost guaranty that it will not be your only Panerai. The 48 is actually a black faced 40mm on a strap. I believe you might actually have a 49 which is a 40mm white face on a strap and then you also received...
Yup, my bad. It is...
Yup, my bad. It is 049... I knew I would get help from a kind Panerist like you! I very much appreciate it. And.... I have not yet purchased it yet :-) So, is there signifcant difference among the "series"? This model has been out there since 1999? a...
Oops, jumped the gun...
...on the purchase I think the only major change on that model over the years would be the strap changing system. The older models used screws to hold the strap / bracelet in place and you would require a screw driver to remove the strap. I believe with t...
That's all right because you...
That's all right because you are actually getting me closer to that :-) Thanks again for the information. That's all I need for now.... Intersting remark. I was just thinking - I will never want any bigger watch than 40mm, which is alr...
Welcome Ken and glad to see you here!
Yes Panerai has redesigned the bracelet, and below is a comparison picture of the old bracelet (on left) with the new bracelet (on right): If you send in your PAM w/ bracelet for servicing and polishing, I'm not sure how much Panerai charges these days bu...
Hi Anthony, Good to see...
Hi Anthony, Good to see you here, too. Of course you are here :-) The one I saw at the shop was the left one - the old style? I will see through the blog which is how and why. Thank you! Ken
AT, which bracelet do you prefer?

I don't have any "wearing" experience with the new bracelet
and I only fooled around with it for a very brief time at SIHH 2009, so I really can't give any opinion of it comfort-wise. But I have worn the older style bracelet for quite some time when I had my PAM52. So I can comment on the fact that the older style...
Bracelet PAM
HI Anthony Would to have some ideas from you, which bracelet pam you think is the best? Old bracelet or new one since I am deciding to get a 328. Thanks Hope you don't mind to share a bit of your thoughts. Thanks & Merry Christmas
