Just when I thought I knew how a PAM feels like ... BANG! ... The PAM 372 showed up!

So much presence, weight and character when on the wrist and SO different feel from my 995 which i love! I thought getting a second PAM would simply give me more of the same (which i already like) but I am floored how much these two references brings a po...  

Aaaah, BRAVO! A milestone you just got. Enjoy!

Yeah...i know the 372 has been around for several years and might be old news for many purists here (saw several post from years ago but less recent ones)...

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : January 19th, 2021-08:59
but i am really glad i got it as opposed to other Luminor Due reference i was looking at originally that may not have encompassed the same level of character...

Great watch.. i like it a lot.

Thanks

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : January 19th, 2021-09:02

Absolutely. Not the same taste nor character.

 
 By: amanico : January 19th, 2021-09:00

you mean compared to newer Luminor Due say?

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : January 19th, 2021-09:01

Yep.

 
 By: amanico : January 19th, 2021-09:03

A modern icon

Panerai DNA oozes from it, great choice!

thanks!

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : January 19th, 2021-09:00

Well done :-) (nt)

Thanks Brandon, you are really putting your to work! Glad to see fellow purist enjoying this reference as well!

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : January 19th, 2021-09:47
How long have you had yours?

It has all the DNA you need

 
 By: aperna : January 19th, 2021-09:18

Thanks Tony, I think i could even get away wearing it with a suit as well! I could fit under my shirt almost!

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : January 19th, 2021-09:49

Sometimes with a casual shirt and a sports jacket I just omit Buttoning the cuff

 
 By: aperna : January 19th, 2021-10:02

Good idea! I sometime roll up the cuff when there is special fabric underneath, but like your idea even better to just unbutton it!

The 372....

 
 By: sergio : January 19th, 2021-11:35
should be the compulsory FIRST Pam, IMO. After having absorbed the "quintessence" of the brand, one could buy whatever he-she wants lolllllllllllll

I think i would agree with you now that I could experience it. Still cant believe the feeling on the wrist - combination of the fit of the 47mm case and weight - just perfect!

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : January 19th, 2021-12:14

I'll give you a hint.....

 
 By: sergio : January 19th, 2021-12:44
should you have the chance to try a PAM673...D O N' T......Lolllllllllllll

Looks great! beside hands design, dial writing and plexi, any other difference with the 372?

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : January 19th, 2021-14:13

It sits on the wrist like a....dream. Lollllllll

 
 By: sergio : January 19th, 2021-14:39

Agreed. Approach that rabbit hole very carefully!

Great my friend, a huge congrats and welcome to the club.

 
 By: Jocke - Bad Santa : January 19th, 2021-11:36

Thanks Jocke! I must say that all the pictures of your 372 I saw really captured its character really well! I only wish I could take pictures like that - LOL

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : January 19th, 2021-12:15

You buying watches like I take pics

 
 By: Jocke - Bad Santa : January 19th, 2021-12:32
we are good at different things. 😀😀😀

ROFL - Ok ok ok i really need to slow down indeed...I do/did have the objective to pause the velocity of new addition in 2021 thought ...

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : January 19th, 2021-13:03

possibly my favourite Panerai. It has been in my list since a few years now. Huge congrats!! Enjoy!!

 
 By: agyzace : January 19th, 2021-12:55

Thanks agyzace!

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : January 19th, 2021-13:03

Congratulations. Good choice . Enjoy it a lot. I am afraid it’s not going to be your last one

 
 By: Ahoi : January 19th, 2021-14:26

Thanks. I’ll try to enjoy them a bit first :-)

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : January 19th, 2021-14:58

Congratulations! You are living big! The watch looks great!

 
 By: orahu : January 19th, 2021-14:30

Thanks...I think I am just catching up for all the years I restrained myself from getting more then 1 watch! Now the flood gates are open! LOL

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : January 19th, 2021-15:00

Well, that escalated quickly :-)

 
 By: Arronax : January 22nd, 2021-19:15
Congratulations, did you get a plexi or sapphire model?

Thanks Arronax. I got the sapphire model which is the one they had at the boutique (wanted to buy it new)

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : January 23rd, 2021-04:32

Thanks

 
 By: Arronax : January 23rd, 2021-05:08
Both versions are beautiful, but the weight is quite different especially when comparing the 422 with the plexi 372. I have been eyeing the 422 for a long time although the 372 may have the edge in the end.

You m’en the 422 is heavier?

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : January 23rd, 2021-10:15

Yes but only vs the plexi

 
 By: Arronax : January 23rd, 2021-13:05
The difference is barely noticeable between the 422 and the sapphire 372. Also the sapphire is marginally more top heavy.

Given the 422 is 2 mm thicker I would’ve thought it would’ve been heavier but I never compared
