My wife would be very upset with me if I came home with a PAM! And honestly, so would I. I do like their uniqueness, but the thick cushion case just isn't for me.

I think they make a great casual watch but they are certainly not suitable for a suit. (Pun not really intended) It's just one of those watches that I constantly find myself being drawn to and I still remember drooling over that 175 in Vegas. Okay, I drooled over a lot of watches during that GTG but that's one of the few I actually remember.

The Panerai Boutique in Vegas was fantastic! (As was the Omega) They had a couple of PVD models(don't remember the numbers) that were amazing. One had the matte dial with the aged looking lume... (<--- closest we have to a "drooling" smilie)

I was almost certain we had a drooling smilie!
Guess I will have to find one and load it.
Anna says that I should buy a PAM not a GO. She thinks I would wear the PAM a lot more.
My issue with PAM is the polish. I just cannot wear polished watches and that means I have to either to Ti, PVD or Ceramic. All expensive choices.
The Radiomir is polished but it has less visible surface, so that would be an option. It is however a bit too large for my really small wrist and the strap is too wide at 26mm.
A Luminor case in Ti would be my best bet.

That itch is slowly coming back. I'll resist though.
Thinking the 424.....or 305

Got pics?
I am pretty clueless when it comes to their model numbers.

Their prices are absolutely insane.
I'd wheel and deal and try to get it down to market value.
