A one less seen... PAM498

Have been in Vegas for the last few days and noticed that they had a PAM498 "Fu" 1950 case at Tesorini inside the Bellagio... Thought it was odd as I thought this watch was only available in the Asia market and would think it has been sold out for a while at only 1000 pieces. Anyways, was able to persuade my old man to finally join the Panerai family by acquiring this pretty unique piece. Goes well with him and his old Chinese ways lol.

Here's a photo of this beauty,

yeah, with all the stress about the 590 only being in North America (at least initially), it's clear that OP shifts units around based on perceived demand, so i'm expecting to see 590s over here earlier rather than later.

Hesitated buying it in Paris, yeah even here we had a few, as my second pam but had a great price on a 28 and the polished pams make me feel like there will be a ton of scratches after a month, much more visible on polished than brushed, but nice watch, congrats

Euh guys, if I am not mistaken the expression "old man" refers to her husband, not her dad, like "my old lady" refers to your wife, not your mother, but might be mistaken, Thsiao, thanks for letting us know who's right, for now I am the minority, so would like to know
