Well just got back from the Panerai dealer on madison Ave in NYC... WOW first time I ever had a PAM on my wrist. I tried on a PAM312 and pictures of this watch do not do it any justice what so ever. The weight of this watch was enough to make me rethink every watch purchase I have ever made. I can say without and doubt the next watch I buy will be a Panerai. Not to mention they game me a huge booklet of every model they carry.

It sounds like I need to take a trip to NYC. I love PAMs, I've only ever gotten to try on a 111 and I absolutely loved it. So much more impressive in person than in pics.

That is quite something for the owner of an SA to be impressed by the weight of another watch.

A PAM is in my future somewhere down the road too.

Ive got my 320 and Skyland side by side and the proportions are almost identical. Diameter, lug length, thickness...almost spot on to my untrained eye. Not sure about the weight, but nothing stands out to me.

Koz, sounds like you must really be ga-ga over the PAM.

Yeah it really sang to me, I guess panerai is a love it or hate it brand. I can't stop thinking about it, got about $2500 I can spare going to keep saving and hope to pick up a preowned 111 in the next month or two.

Precisely. I wasn't nuts about them until one day at work I was talking to a guy who was wearing one, I suspect it was a 233. Couldn't take my eyes off it.
