You have a beautiful collection Abel and that 587 is at or near the top!

Out of curiosity, which of your Panerais do you turn to most often?

sandwich dial on 662. Don‘t you sleep at night? ☺️ Best, Thomas

Having experienced the good old days (and the not so good), the 662 would be something like a nice contra piece to all that. I have a Panerista friend who sold all over time (127, 249, 372, etc) and bought the 662 to have some sort of Panerai memento. I t...

I normally toss a coin in the air and buy.......BOTH!! LOLLL In this case, I have no use for the "cappuccino". Marina Militare in a Panerai is just...something else...for a chap like me
587 has always been a grail

... for me. Couldn’t find one and went for the 673. Like it, but still think about the 587 — a very simple and symmetrical, yet elegant, beauty.
Believe it or not...

between the two, I actually prefer the 673. Is less "chunky" than the 587 on the wrist (in MY opinion, of course)
I know it sounds....

like an "inane" remark but, hey, that's exactly how it feels to me.
That's very interesting Sergio

I'm relatively new to Panerai, as you know. The 587 was the first new Panerai that really caught my eye. I love the dial and hands, as well as the symmetry of the case with the simple crown and no crown guard. But the 673 was available at the time so I we...
The 587 is the first "revisitation"...

of the Vintage 6152/1 and as such is already worth owning. Not quite the superstar: 6154 (reproduced in the PAM622 Russian Paneristi) but a splendid transitional case none the less. ...

I decided to "investigate" further. Also to answer a direct question from John. I've taken a couple of pictures which, as usual, are better than a 1000 words. The watch on the right is the 673 and you'll notice the subtle but obvious difference in the lug...
Wow, the pictures show the differences clearly
By: JohnFM : November 24th, 2018-12:40
I had no idea that lug shapes and thicknesses were this different -- I had previously thought they were the same or very close. Thanks for going to this effort Sergio and sharing the photos. You have solved a problem that has plagued a select few members ...

I went several month to This dilemma. You know my story and arguments nowadays as good as I do 😊
Yes Nicolas, I know you have a real love for watches
By: JohnFM : November 22nd, 2018-11:05
... and your interests span different eras and manufacturers, including Rolex, Omega, Jaeger Lecoultre, Blancpain, etc. So there are many competing interests for watches, new or old! But I too will be curious to see if and when you add a new Panerai to yo...
Definitely the PAM 587
By: Watcholic_id : November 22nd, 2018-06:26
because of the 'Marina Militare' and the pencil hands. the PAM 662 is a gorgeous & charming watch, but like you said, the Marina Militare is just magic cheers
It's a tough call Nicolas
By: JohnFM : November 22nd, 2018-11:31
My first Panerai was a 564. After learning more about the company and its history (from you, Sergio, Abel, and others), I began to regret this purchase and long for others. After adding several others, however, I've grown to appreciate the 564 -- but it's...
Question.....
By: sergio : November 22nd, 2018-13:23
ever thought of buying a T-dialled "old" PAM? Something like 001 or 002?
