A comparo came to mind after pulling out La Bomba...

Much has been made of the size of the 5976, and while we can all read of its dimensions and mass, I thought laying the Naughty alongside a few of the original "big" watches may be telling. Panerai test subjects include PAM 64 - aka La Bomba - and PAM 106,

I was always attracted to the brand.

I thought I would share my Luminor Submersible Pam 106.

This a Sub you don't see to often, the Pam 106 with anthracite dial. This is a D series with T dial. They only made the 106 in D and in E in a run of 500. Some of the E series have a L dial. The difference between the Pam 170 and the 106 is the 106 has br

My journey of Submersion

I've always found a diving watch w/ rotatable bezel to be the perfect watch that represents Panerai, a brand with such a strong association w/ military divers... [Picture courtesy of some auction catalogs years ago, I believe] Here I guess one can see tha
