....for me. The 287 Radiomir Black Seal Automatic. Though 1mm larger in in diameter than the 320 with the 1950 case I previously owned, the thinner profile makes it the Pam for me. It's still a chunky monkey, don't get me wrong. I went in to look at the 40mm models and try as I might, just couldn’t do it. Then thought I needed a sandwich dial, but found I didn't. Pretty sure I made a good choice!!

The blackseal is a great PAM, and the only Cyclop equiped one I like. It is the quintessential "Office PAM" and I think it looks great with a dress shirt! Amazing how relatevely small changes can take a watch from being a sporty war tool to an elegent dress watch!

Great pick up! Enjoy in the best of health.

What color? Uhm that would be brown with brown stitching

No black for sale, have it on today amd it really turns this into an acceptable dress watch. Something I never thought I would say about a Panerait

Yes I know it's brown captain obvious. But is it honey brown, chocolate brown, tobacco brown? I can't tell from your photos, will you please throw away that polaroid and buy a real camera.

Many Congratulations Mr Shark.

A great pick up and sits nicely within your ever-growing collection.

A true wear-it-with-anything timepiece. Stunning.

I think that's the antique brown strap since that's the only OEM gator strap that they offer without the white stitching for the deployant clasp that comes with the 287.

The 287 is the only PAM that has really grabbed me. Great looking watch that has it all. It is for sure the most "professional" of the line-up.

I know all the rage is about sandwich dials, but I, like you tend to prefer the painted dials.

Awesome watch Tom!! I'm glad to see you go right back out and pick up a PAM. I was a little worried that the love affair might be over when you moved the 320.

This may be 1mm larger in diamenter, but it's tiny compared to the 1950 case in the 320. Even shirt cuff friendly. Though I never thought I'd see the day I could or would wear a watch with a 26mm strap. Extremely comfortable on the deploy. And I do prefer the black strap oddly enough.
