amanicoI will make it short, this is a BOMB. This is THE watch I was looking for, from Panerai. First the case, which is sublime ( 47 mm ). Big? Well, not for every wrist, but this is a Panerai, and a Panerai, by essence, is a big Watch...">Story

foverstaGreat news for Panerai lovers, the brand has just opened a few days ago its second boutique in Paris located 5 rue du Faubourg St Honoré, just in front of the Loro Piana boutique. You may ask why Panerai took the decision to open a new boutique not so far at the end from the 1st one located rue de la Paix. Actually, and it is something you have to understand in Paris, the type of clients may differ a lot even with a small distance of 500 meters. The clients of the rue du Faubourg St Honoré are not the same .....">Story

MichaelCHave you ever owned the same watch twice? I have, and in fact, this PAM87 3 times! My very first Panerai, purchased in 2001, was the PAM87 D series. In many ways, this watch is nothing short of a controversial offering from Panerai, and as we look back, we can see the dangerous trail this watch has blazed. Of course, I am referring to the fact that in 2000, Panerai launched the famous PAM64 Limited Edition "La Bomba" 1000 meter Submersible with a black dial and silver sub seconds. Merely 1 year later, Panerai would bring out the exact same watch in a regular edition, changing only the dial color...">Story

Once you enter the Pool & Terrace area, you hear the party music coming from the speakers along the perimeter...">Story

JesterI've always found a diving watch w/ rotatable bezel to be the perfect watch that represents Panerai, a brand with such a strong association w/ military divers... [Picture courtesy of some auction catalogs years ago, I believe] Here I guess one can see that Panerai were indeed kicking around the idea of having a dive timer early on... My first submersible was a PAM25, then quickly followed w/ the PAM64, the Bomba... I was VERY smittened w/ the tuna can design of the PAM64, especially w/ the helium release .....">Story
