Pam 676 inbound...don't be a hater!
By now I've read every opinion about this watch and heard all the griping about the 30m water resistance. This didn't concern me. Its the aesthetics and the size that drove my decision. That and a trusted seller offered it up full kit, AD purchase at 31% off retail...you do the math. I would not have walked into an AD store and paid the $7300 +tax they were asking.
Yes I understand the whole History of Panerai and the legacy as a dive watch. And I understand how and why the Paneristi loyalists are upset by this watch. But they aren't the ones wearing it and because of them and the markets general negative opinion, I was able to buy this watch for hundreds less than a SubC. I have a Rolex SeaDweller 116600 so I don't need another dive watch. Frankly IMHO, the SD is one of the best pieces Rolex ever made. So back to the Pam 676. I was looking to fill a hole in my small collection with a dressy-ish/sporty-ish watch. that didn't look like I was wearing a compass on my wrist. SO...what I want to know is... Does anyone else appreciate the 676 for what it is instead of what it isn't.? https://photos.google.com/share/AF1Q...1kTjR6Z0w4R19R |

You're right in the sense that the only thing that matters is if you are happy. Enjoy!

Like you. Water resistance doesn't matter >>
so the depth rating on the watch is fine.
I take mine regular watches off to wash my hands and how many actually swim with their watches? DON |

Hey if the watch is extra thin you won't get good WR, 30 is a bit low but it looks cool. Congrats

Not my favorite watch, but glad you bought what you wanted! Enjoy it...the thinner case will be great for under shirt cuffs. It's nice looking
