Start this week wearing my Pam 649 Destro…
… which was claiming from inside the watch box that it deserved some wrist time.
This watch originally came with the set 786 with the Maiale scale model and the Pam 650 “Day Light” white dial and blue indexes.
Cheers! Abel
Thank you Captain!! This has been a Panerai week: My Pam 111 during the weekend (It is my first Panerai, bought in 2006 and still loving it) changed to this 649 yesterday Monday.
Probably another Panerai will replace it on Thursday!
Will post it then! Cheers! Abel

Ha ha ha!! Thank you so much dear Tony! You are too kind. Actually it has seen very little wear on my wrist since I bought in 2017. As a matter of fact it still has the original...
... decal protecting its caseback with an ink code by the importer. It really was asking me for some deserved wrist time!
Have a nice week ahead my dear friend.

🤩🤩🤩These older black case Panerais have gotten my attention over recent weeks. This one is very special!
Do you have any concerns about the PVD coating…how sensitive are they to getting scuffed?
hello Armis! Thank you so much for your kind comments. I confess that I haven`t been very interested in the past about black case watches being afraid they are ...
... prone to scuffs and scratches which would stand out. This watch was purchased as a set in 2017 and has seen very little wearing and I try to be very careful whith it.
A few years ago I bought a little Hamilton with a black case and I gave a good use and case still looks pristine. And I received my black case Pam05218 last November and had been wearing for several weeks and it´s still in perfect condition. But again, I wear my watches with care and the black ones with extra care.
It is interesting to note that the older Pam 649 here is PVD coated and the new 05218 is given a "DLC" coating which is based in diamond as per Panerai information thus giving better protection and durability. I can´t confirm this except that the new coating looks "more black" than PVD which looks like dark charcoal.
Best cordial regards, Abel

Thank you so much dear S F! Oh yes! Definitively your 26 Destro deserves some wrist time. And you may post a few shots to share it with us! Cheers! Abel
This is a real beauty my dear Abel!!!
Thank you for showing me a reference I didn’t know!
You should be wearing it more often!
I like that you still have and enjoy your first PAM, the 111, which by the way I also happen to have and enjoy a lot.
Thank you for sharing.

Hola estimado amigo Rene! Thank you so much for your kind message. You are right: I should wear it more often. Today I´m changing it on my wrist for its "brother" Pam 650 which ...
... came in same set Pam 786 and will post it later. It´s always my big pleasure to share my watches here!
I´m happy to know you also own Pam 111 and that we both share the love for it.
Abrazos y buen fin de semana amigo mio! Abel
