[Benedetto13]

Found a few pam024 on the japanese shops (jackroad, kamekichi, house kihiroba)......how do their prices look?

Btw Triste, are their prices bargainable? Though i know in Japan its not common but it can be done.....thanks!

Cooling off period now...... Just nice for japan trip in 2 wks' time muahahahaha

Lai lai half time change topic change topic

Such a nice baby monster

Dinner at this local start up. Quite tasty the pork chop, sausage and Aglio Olio. Maybe because I'm hungry too.

How much is that piece by the way?

Pam 243 pre-owed, similar look to 24

Pam 243I 1000m Submersible F.S.

 

[rachdanon]

$5k+ retail. Sharp looking watch just black and white/silver.

 

[Azrielsc]

Heard my name being mentioned? Yatto thinking of a Pam?

NO WAY!

I actually clicked on the link. And what i find really funny was this pic in the seller's signature lol

 

[Azrielsc]

Nice choice of the 24, if you like the cyclops.

I rather like the new 364... with seconds subdial and date, but WITHOUT the cyclops. I personally don't like the cyclops.

And its titanium and it has a 2500m depth rating. Be warned, its a 47mm, which I believe it is fine for Yatto as he has a big... wrist.

Or join me for a 389!

Now as for straps... still waiting for a couple to arrive.

Damn funny!! I almost choked on my dinner!

Here's a photo of my late granddad's Pagol (my dress watch) with my 389 (casual). HUGE difference!

 

[yattokame]

I am quite worried.......to plunge into the vicious cycle of straps but damn.....that brown strap looks so good on the panerai!!!

May i know whats the cheapest submersible with 47mm? Thanx

Edit: ok i did some search and its the 305?

I like the 305's transparent caseback. But I like the 024's cyclops.
The 305 is also made of titanium so will be it very light? Kind of like my watches a bit heavy.....

Indeed! Granddad will think you got it from the land of giants if he's still around. Look like 6 Pagols can be stuffed inside the Panerai. However, he could have seen the Panerai in his lifetime because they were 47mm when made for the Italian navy in the 1900s.

305 is the cheapest 47mm submersible. Not very light

 

[a562140]

Only casing is titanium, still got movement and crystal and this monster is 47mm... I think will still be heavier than your steel world time dress watch.

Check out the vintage looks on Peter Gunny straps.

[DempseyRoll]

Really enjoying how everyone is taking turns to poison Yatto

One fine day he'll start blaming everyone else here for causing him to eat grass. .. lol

 

[coern]

The handwinds have thinner movements hence thinner cases?

in general, yes. automatics need extra space for the rotor.

handwinds thinner so less "head heavy"!

LOL it is far from light! Pre-0wned can get from 8k+ but older series. BNIB latest P series can get for 10k+ grey (let me know I got contact). ADs don't carry this model I'm quite sure, only the Boutique and they won't budge from the $13k+ price tag. Panerai is trying to strengthen its brand by keeping stuff sold through Boutiques.

Given a choice, will you guys go for a speedmaster professional "moonwatch" 3570.50, the more original choice, however it has a hesalite crystal (scratch magnet?) and a solid caseback (can't see movement.. I know of some people who really needs a see through caseback for an automatic/manual movement); or the newer 3573.50, which has a sapphire crystal (scratch resist ftw ) and a see through caseback for the drool movement~

just curious to see if you guys will go for the one closest to the original, or just grab the one that u like the best, irregardless of it being not as close to the original moonwatch

 

[ryanchology]

anyone know where to replace a watch strap for a nato strap?

 

[rachdanon]

If you like bronze and patina, and got $20k+ lying around you can get the much coveted and rare 382 the "Bronzo". It's the 305 but in bronze, therefore heavier too.

Worn by each of the members in Expendables 2

Azrielsc's 389 will be featured in Expendables 3.
