Absolute beauty BUT I'd put the 690 on my wrist 99 times out of a 100 to be honest (when choosing a Pam from your collection). However, If you can afford it and it forms part of your collection & hobby, then why not !

I found the crownguard on 47mm dug into the back of my hand and I actually have a visible callous from wearing Panerai with crown guards (44 & 47mm) for a number of years. Not that it bothered me though . .probably the way I wear the watch high up my wrist.

The movement is a great reliable workhorse . .wouldn't bother me to have the same movement in 2 watches.

If I was still in to 47mm Pams, I'd probably have a beaten up 372 for everyday roughing it and the 690 for 'nice' days.
