Panerai BHB and the PAM 341!

 

I happened to tag along with my bud who was picking this up for his uncle!  My friend was gracious enough to let me try it.  I figure with 500 pieces worldwide, this was probably going to be my one and only chance. 

I have to say, the 341 looks really good in person.  The piece is light and really well made and the strap is perfect!  Its not for me but a fellow 'risti with his 8.5" wrist made it look presentable...

Here is the bad boy served up by our awesome Chad of the BHB! Another interesting perspective on this BOX.







Love the Plexi and the PIG on the back! Everything is historically correct.  Just awesome piece, too bad its too big for me.


292j, 341 and 312


My attempt at being Arnold Schwarzenegger with his 341=FAIL!




Chad had this beauty in the back. PAM 323 10day GMT and 47mm. An awesome piece! Came real close with putting the card down on this one. The circular PR works!



THANKS again to Chad and staff (Tanya, Marcel) at the BHB!
My 312 had to go in for some service work and will return in 6-8 weeks. Another VISIT!

Thanks for reading!

That is one huge cool looking watch! I wish I could tell you in works on your wrist, but sadly it is just too big! However, I do think it will look good on bigger wrists, such as the gentleman who happened to be at the store wearing his. You mention about... 

LOL...

I'm becoming interested in acquiring a Panerai soon, but this piece is only appropriate for the intent it was made for.... wearing over a wetsuit for millitary diving missions. I really do not see this as a piece that any but the .005% of the population c...

I'm sorry but I just don't get it. And besides, I'm not so sure about this " with 500 pieces worldwide, this was probably going to be my one and only chance. " When people will put this on their wrist at their AD I'm sure a lot will say ' Oops, didn't exp...

When people look at a 60 mm Jacob & Co they are all laughing 60 mm LOLOLOLOLOl I'm sorry, I do like Panerai a lot but also a brand I love can make BIG (like 60mm big) mistakes in my eyes

On the contrary...

the SE was originally designated for a production of 300 pieces due to the "uniqueness" of the piece. However, it was adjusted to 500 pieces worldwide due to demand by the PAM collectors. Panerai realizes that the piece has a limited market and I am prett... 

replace the collectors by flippers

and you're correct This piece was announced before the financial crisis when evertyhing which was called LE sold like hot pancakes. You're right, it went up from 300 to 500 but you can bet on it a lot of these orders were made by secondhand dealers and pe...

being hard to get or not must not be the reason why you would buy it or not If your friend is happy with it, that's all that matters

i'll take the 323 any time.
