And it has arrived

It has arrived in all of its 47MM glory. The Pam 1305. I will say that it being about 10% thinner than the 305 is a big deal and the blue minute hand really sets it off. I would say to anyone looking for a dive watch to look at this or for the smaller wristed fellas the 42MM version. I believe this is about as good as it gets right here. I took more pictures but I cant seem to get them small enough to upload. Ill work on that later :cheers:

Looks good. I'm going to boutique tomorrow so I might take a test drive.

Congrats.

oldsalt 20 October 2017 12:04 PM

That looks great !!!
I really like the "unpainted" bezel... sets off the dial so well, and I agree the little blue seconds hand gives it a subtle boost... great choice.
Congrats...:thumbsup:


cheers

Nice watch congrats.

How does the bezel feel on this one ? I had a 24 from 2006 and the bezel was initially tight, but loosen up quite a bit after few months of casual use. Kind of disappointed seeing how good the bezel on the rolex sub is.

Hope they've improved it .

Most excellent choice, sir. It really looks the business and the blue hand does set off really well against the black dial. Love it!

Many congrats :cheers:

I agree about the bezel. I considered the sub with black bezel for a second but this to me is way better.

Big congratulations Dan, it looks fantastic:cheers::clap::thumbsup:

I would describe the bezel turn not quite like the Sub C but not as generic as the Omega Planet Ocean. I would definitely say it's way better than the old 24.

Congrats Dan!

beautiful piece

oldsalt 21 October 2017 11:45 AM

Well...... "she who must be obeyed" (my lovely wife) had a look at your post and said to me..."That's a lovely watch...why don't you buy one..?"
so...I have just rang my dealer and ordered one...so a big "thanks" to you Dan2010
I have added another Panerai to my collection...:thumbsup:

cheers

chemistman 21 October 2017 11:51 AM

Thanks, good to know, might look into the newer subs later on!!

Yea I get what you mean about Omega PO bezel- had a 2500 planet ocean and the bezel just felt so cheap, always clunky and lop sided, in fact the ones on the seiko tunas are far better in quality.
