Incoming Pam 797

[Duke of Dulwich]

Having admired Panerais from afar over the years, I finally took the plunge on Friday. My journey to my first Panerai started with a 312 because I liked the old look however I wanted a brand new watch so I moved on from this reference. I then looked at the updated 1312 however I didn’t like the smaller lugs and it didn’t sit comfortably on my wrist. I considered the 1359, however it looked small on my wrist.

Whilst at the Panerai Boutique, I stumbled across the Pam 797 which completely blew me away. I loved the brushed titanium case and bezel, and the brown sandwich dial. Now I know some don’t like the power reserve on the dial, however I think it gives the dial character. After a few back and forths, I picked one up at the airport on Friday on my way to Holland with my son for a football tournament. I got a 20% discount (happy days)!!!

I had the rubber strap fitted by the AD and I can’t get enough of it. My first watch on a rubber strap. I can’t believe I didn’t take the plunge earlier. I am absolutely loving it.

I’ve attached a few photos. As you’ll see, there’s a lot of alcohol involved to celebrate the purchase and the football results.
