I just traded my Sub 16610 for a "J" PAM 164. I'm really excited. This is my first large watch purchase that hasn't been a Rolex. It'll probably be atleast a week before it arrives. I'll post pics when it gets here.

Thats a nice watch!!! Congrats!

I really need a Panerai, used to hate them but they snuck up on me and lately have really grown to like them. Maybe start with a 104...

Cool! Hope you didn't order it from one of those Canal Street vendors.

Jeff, been looking at a Panerai. Do they date the watches in strictly alphabetical order ie would a J be the latest release ? And if so do you know when they change the letter code each year ? (or is it just random madness like Rolex ?????)
Congratulations on the new watch by the way.

Thank you! Yes, they go in alpabetical order and it changes each year. "J" is for the 2007 models.

Congrats Jeff!

I get my 164 up next Wednesday so know how pleased you must be!

Launch Mini · 16 November 2007, 07:32 AM

Welcome to the dark side.
You will love it when she arrives.
Lume is amazing too.

DS/B MINI S · 16 November 2007, 07:43 AM

Nice Score

I'm saving for the 177 myself

OOOOOOOOH!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAY TO GO!

Welcome to the Panny club!

Dig that brushed steel case. :-)

morgman · 16 November 2007, 07:52 AM

About 1/2 way down there's a nice pic of a 164.
Brushed case & polished bezel. Love that dial.

Interesting that my 240 has *less* lume than my LV Sub!
The hands are about the same lume, but the dial printing is definitely less luminous than the LV.

walds11 · 16 November 2007, 08:06 AM

Congrats, but I hope you don't regret selling the Sub. The Sub it a better everyday watch. I had Panerais, but they were 2nd and 3rd watches.

miner · 16 November 2007, 10:50 AM

Nice pick up. Here's a couple of pics to tide you over until yours arrives:

Sweet watch enjoy it when it arrives.

Awesome! Thanks for the link!

colemanitis · 16 November 2007, 11:22 AM

Miner, thanks for the pics! Those are really great!

colemanitis · 16 November 2007, 11:23 AM

I shipped my Sub after work today. I don't even think I had it for three months. My new PAM is shipping tomorrow and should be here next Tuesday. I love the anticipation!!!

Robb · 16 November 2007, 12:52 PM

Congrats Jeff!!!! Will yours be with the bracelet?

No bracelet. It comes with a leather and a rubber strap.

Robb · 16 November 2007, 01:27 PM

Cant wait to see the pics!!!

morgman · 17 November 2007, 06:58 AM

Here are the first halfway decent pics of my 240, taken outside.

Can't wait to see pics of the 164!

colemanitis · 17 November 2007, 07:09 AM

WOW! Great pics and COOL WATCH!

oyster21 · 17 November 2007, 10:06 AM

congrat! 164 is a beauty. What made you chose the 164 over the rest?
I am just wondering because I am eyeing 164, 113 and 88. And can't make any decision yet.

mailman · 17 November 2007, 10:10 AM

Great news Jeff

You're like a litle kid on Christmas eve now, aren't you

Oooo 240 Sweet, if I ever got another Pam the 240 would be it!

Teofilo · 18 November 2007, 07:24 AM

You guys are killing me with all these pictures of PAM's.........
I can only afford two decent watches, so I might have to do what Jeff has done.
Thinking of trading my GMT II for either a Pam 98 or my current fave a PAM 244 (that way I retain a bit of GMT-ness).
I know it's highly unlikely, but does anyone on TRF have both a GMT II Pepsi and a PAM 244 ? If so, a side by side picture would really give me something to think about !

SPACE-DWELLER · 18 November 2007, 10:11 AM

Congrats, Jeff!

I look forward to seeing the wrist shot!

colemanitis · 18 November 2007, 10:21 AM

The wait is killing me! I'm strap shopping tonight on Paneristi, so that's helping hold me over.

colemanitis · 18 November 2007, 11:21 AM

I just bought this strap! This is toooo much fun!
