Trade for a PAM690
I am considering trading my GS SBGJ261 (plus cash on my end) for a PAM690.

Thoughts? Thank you.

Great watch and one I have owned several times. In the end, I have always moved it on based on the value I could trade it for. This is one of the models offered by Panerai that is strong in resale value and a lot of fun to wear.

If your wrist is large enough for the 47mm Radiomir 1940 case, I would 100% do the trade plus cash without hesitation. The 690 is one of the best dials Panerai has ever created.

Absolutely. Nothing looks or feels better than a Panerai.

You’ll have endless moments when the light catches that beautiful dial and throws light in different hues.

I also really love winding the P3000 … a simple pleasure I get from whenever I’m wearing the watch

Edit: that strap looks like new. Is it OEM? In time it will patina like mine above

I am honestly not sure if it is a new strap or not, but it certainly feels like it from wearing it! No creases or anything! It is an OEM strap.

I do know that the strap was replaced at some point because the buckle is from a different Panerai model. At some point, I will get the buckle original to the watch.

Yes, it should, have the smaller Panerai pin buckle not the larger trapezoid shaped buckle.

Mine has a special place in the collection as it took a few tries to land one.

Is it easy to replace the buckle? I am loving the watch, but not the buckle. :-)

Super easy, its just a screw. The original pin buckle is understated and very comfortable
