Panerai PAM 997: The Good Green dialed Radiomir?
A few weeks ago, Panerai unveiled a series of Radiomir 1940 Green Dial. The two which caught my eyes are the 995 we already saw, and the 997. The PAM 995 for the record: Two very different watches, despite their green dial. The 995 is 45 mm big, 12, 2 mm ...
Really a fan of many panerai models...
And this ceramic with green dial is no exception. Only problems for me is the 47mm... wish it was 40-42... in some cases even their 44mm works for me but above that very hard for me to adjust. 17.5cm wrist and 186cm tall yet I feel too small for 47mm...
At a recent panerai event I tried this one...
New case material new blue dial... very pretty I thought... had it been smaller perhaps I would have placed an order for my first Pam... Really cool I thought: ...
Agree on that on many of their references...
Still one ref which haunts me is the 192... if I ever get a first Pam this may be it... but want to try one first... or at least find out how much it weighs...
I agree, but with all that were made there wasn’t one in 44mm that I thought was interesting enough to buy.
A 44mm Sub was my first Panerai, it’s long gone but the last three or four years I’ve been waiting for them to come with something cool in the 44mm range.
Personally think
The newly released carbotech in 42mm is quite cool... my only issue was the thickness of the rubber strap on both sides of the case, feels like protrudes a bit much but perhaps with a flatter strap... ...
The 997 would have been perfect if...
It was 47 mm and it didn't have a running seconds sub dial.
Based strictly on aesthetics...
The sub dial is too small, disproportional to the dial's scale and too close to 9 o'clock. The 995 is far more balanced in this respect.
go for the 995 with the beige canvas strap
I got this 2 weeks back and can’t take it off. Amazing how careful matching of a strap changes the whole experience!
I’m here and tried both. The 996 is a beast. If you have wrists like Sly or Arnold then fine. Otherwise pass. [nt]
The 995 is perfect. See my post on it
Hello, i like a lot the 997, the dark color of the ceramic case go very well with the green military of the dial ... And i prefer the P3000 than a automatic mouvement ...
My only question is about the 48 mm case , i have to try but the 47 mm go very well on my wrist !!
