Pam 380

I just got this Radiomir. I was looking for a 210 when I talked to an AD and heard the current price. Ridiculous for a basic Pam, but I wanted one badly. Oddly, of all the Panerai dealers in my area, not one single dealer had one. I talked to an AD who told me he had the 380. Asked me to look at it.

The dial is painted - this may be the first Logo Rad with Sausage dial as far as I know. At first I thought the dial was too busy, but it's growing on me in the six and one half hours I've owned it. No display back, an ETA movement, and it seems to be the cheapest PAM out there. But my AD says this is the only one he's ever seen or had, and he's a huge dealer. Tell me what you guys think about it. This is not my picture, but here it is:

380 lover here.. so I am biased. I am a fan of painted dial and the solid case back has its historical roots so in the RAD world.. this is the PAM for me. Dress it up or down... looks great either way!

Simple Panerai's are the best. 380 is a great one!

Thank you all for your kind words. Fred, those straps are beautiful. I am going to regret asking this but.... where would I find that last one? It's unbelievably sharp with this watch.

This one is the Panerai OEM alligator dark brown semi matte with white stitching 27/22mm ref code: MX005FP3

I think it really makes the watch pop! Email me if you have any other questions!

Best,

Fred
