Officine Panerai

After reading Bill's post, I was more resolved in finding my first pam.  For the longest time, I could not decide and as you know, there are just so many models.

So here it is.. my first pam... finally chose the pam590..

... already I am enjoying it.. has not left my wrist since.. Cheers !

 

I like the PAM590 a lot.  Nice pick up!

Cheers,

... glad you also like the PAM590..  It's one of the better looking models in the new line-up from Panerai.

 

It will bring you years of pleasure and companionship.  And a whole bunch of new friends here in the forum.

Best

Bll

... for all your advice... finally decided this based on your suggestion to wear and see which ones makes me feel really good..

The other two choices were close second place and they are still on my radar.... who knows... I might pull the trigger... when funds permit.. hahaha

 

Cheers !

 

Now its 24/7 with that baby.  Gotta break in the strap.  Talking about straps that is going to be a whole new way to personalize the watch even more.

chat soon !

 

I know you have been hunting for a Pam for awhile now, deciding which model to choose.

.... took the longest time to decide for a PAM.... LOL.. well.. finally decided ... it's looking really good and I love it..  !

 

This is the Panerai I wold choose if I didn't have my current Pam.

Replace the 5 in 590 with a 3 and you've got my favorite current PAM.  

590 is on my must have 2015  list this year...Looks stunning on you.

... I like this dial so much with that classic and full of DNA circle 8 giornni Brevettato inscription!

Easy to understand you can´t get off your wrist! Enjoy in good health!

Cordial regards, Abel.

the master archeologist of WPS. After all, to unearth a 3 years old thread takes a lot of determination and effort...LOL Keep enjoying your 590

and while looking for the 238, you saw the 590 post, went goo-goo-ga-ga about it and got side-tracked LOL
I'm glad you couldn't find much about the 238 that, as a Panerai, it's an absolute...travesty...IMO. Few of the models they have produced, through the years, are as UN-PANERISTIC as the 238 I don't know if you've come across this video but, in case you haven't, have a look at it
youtu.be Ciao

I love them all the 238 I love because 1 it carries the spirit of collaboration between Panerai and Another company (angelus, Rolex)... in this case GP 2 I like the fact that you don’t hear much about it... things can only get better for it 😝... Panerai will change with time and so will it’s fans I’m in for the long run

the 197 (JLC movement) and the 309 (vintage Minerva inside). I also firmly believe that, starting from the dial of the 3646 (232) or (249) everything you add on the dial or subtract from the size, depaupers the model. When the dial becomes clogged by everything, I wonder why the buyer didn't buy a Breiteling instead But that's me

a gold watch that big on my wrist ain’t happening (pam197) I like the hobnail dail keeps things a little busy... the 309 is a nice twin too 😊 but now at around 25k... I still have a price bracket I like to keep to... props to you if you were in early! 🙅🏿‍♂️ but titanium was never my favorite I enjoy the weight of a Panerai... thank you for your input

I bought the 197...before...I understood what a Panerai should have been all about (I was into different watches back then and if you could afford it, you'd buy a gold one) I still have it because I couldn't exchange it for a broken...button. Nobody wants one (trust me). As far as the 309, the I think your valuation is a bit excessive. Maybe that's the market value of the 322 (which is the good looking quasi-twin, with a nice brown dial and only 50 pcs produced, while there are 100x309s out there). One of my favourite Panerai...ever...is a titanium model, but I understand the "need for heft" on the wrist of a Panerista Ciao
