And you certainly do wear all your PAM’s well, Doc.

But I tend to wear my watches for a week at a time (including at work), so I worry about me reaching out for it less and less, as time goes. I wouldn’t want it to get relegated to a vacation watch Here’s a friend’s 44mm PAM 233, which also wore too big an

Thanks for sharing your ownership experience.

I was previously enamored with an-even smaller PAM (233) but couldn’t rock it because it wore too big. So it’s looking like the 372 is a no-go, which makes me sad

A return to the roots is beyond-necessary at this point.

My local boutique shuttered down a week ago, because of poor sales (which is understandable since all they stocked was submersibles and due’s). To me, the ideal PAM is my 384, a 233, your 372 or (maybe) a bronzo. Here’s to hoping. Hussam

I’m joining this thread so late, but I completely empathize with you.

Panerai was all the rave (up until 2013-14), and for good reasons. I got in at the wrong time and at the wrong price point (both personal choices/reasons) and I swore never to get back to the brand again when they kept issuing LE after LE. But I’ve recent

Wow. I must be one of the few who actually like the PAM 233...

PAM 233 dot dial 😍😍😍.

If that model is available to you in good condition and at a good price, don’t let the opportunity go. That is an epic watch in all proportions, especially if it’s an early series. Just my $0.02

Good evening friends...I am contemplating a Panerai purchase...

I am between a sea dweller-40mm...42mm explorer 2 or a Panerai 233...dot dial...these are available to me and I am thinking strongly about the 233...I would appreciate any opinions, especially from any 233 owners about comfort, and enjoyment of the piece.
