This is the Pam that I have had since 2004. It is very special to me. It is the work horse of my watches (Sea-Dweller and GMT IIc on Rolex side)... Meaning, it's the only PAM I have ever worn (so far) the others will be worked in the rotation soon. Here are some pics of my 177.

Beatuiful piece!! Mine too is a 2004 G Serial!! I bought mine when I bought an engagement ring for my wife. Couldn't bear spending all the money on her when the 177 was sat in the window. I had been after the tobacco dial version from a couple of years previous when I had purchased my 112 but they had discontinuied the tobacco dial in 2003.

The reason I love the 177 is that my favourite Panerai and the one that got me interested in the brand was the Marina Militare from 1998 i beleive and I felt the 177 was the closest thing to it.

A quick question, have you had yours serviced yet? Also do you buff marks off the case as and when they occur?

Yes, this 177 just came back from the Dallas Panerai Service Center. They did a full service approx $425.00

I did not have a lot of marks on the case but, I do clean it quite often and did do a light cape cod polish once prior to sending it into the PSC. For me the Ti has held up remarkably well!!

Mr. T - Yes and Yes!! The 177 is a production model and relatively easy to find... I highly recommend it!

mfer · 21 April 2009, 12:32 AM

That 177 is awesome Jackson! I'm in love with the paint as you know!!!!!!

Also, welcome Ted. You're on my list of people to contact!!!!! The work that you do looks amazing.

WatchTimes · 21 April 2009, 09:26 AM

I want a 279!!
The Ti is SEXY!
The Tobacco dial is stunning!
I don't think Id wear it on the bracelet often BUT it sure would be a nice
change from the typical Panerai.

Anyone with a 279 want an 090????
