Officine Panerai

I have had about ten PAM’s over the years and for about four years recently kind of forgot about them as I moved up the chain horologically. But have still always liked the sandwich dial and “discovered” this one that, for me, evokes the unrivaled charm o...  

It keeps growing on me.

… My only Panerai left is a radiomir as well ...  

Can you believe I sold mine already? What a jerk, eh?

I also had a look at this one and it is still in the list.

Here is a picture of mine from yesterday ...  

...that is hard to come by elsewhere. Congratulations on this beautiful example!

whatever floats your boat, man. Enjoy your piece and the feeling it evokes for you...too much!

Congratulations on the piece. When I picked mine up, what I found was that the 992 includes many of the elements I enjoy from Panerai, even though it never existed. The sandwich dial, blued hands, brevettato stamp, 8 day manual wind and bead blasted case ...  

the keyword for me is harmony — the piece is designed very carefully, balanced and with the Italian sensibility! Also, the finish is very special —

It really doesn't matter if this exact configuration existed before...because it exists now for our enjoyment... ...the Rolex Explorer of today also didn't exist when Hillary and and Norgay summited Mount Everest.

I had the same "likes" about this watch. ...  

I had a lot of hesitations between this one and the venti, but finally chose the venti ... Wear it in good health 👍🏼

Sapphire… but not plexy… not to many choices in the radiomir realm! Even now I haven’t found the “perfect” radiomir 🤦‍♂️
