I'd been looking for another sport watch and settled on the PAM 104, after failing to find a 164 with Arabic numerals. I couldn't be happier. It's big, blocky but sexy, case wears beautifully. It's already become my everyday watch.
A quick plug for XXXXX. XXXX, the owner, not only runs a fine shop with a nice selection of brands - FP Journe, Jaeger LeCoultre, BRM, RIchard Mille, Panerai, Zenith, Vacheron, Manometro, and others, but he's a horologist by training and quite knowledge about the technical aspects of the watches he sells. No hard sale, just a relaxed atmosphere to browse if you're not into anything more expensive.
Nice to be a member of this new forum. A shout out to my friend, Dominic, another Panerai owner from the San Francisco Bay Area.
