Panerai PAM 127 / 217. The references which made the old school guys' heart beat faster.
An old picture I found in my hard disc...
The essence of the brand. Not that, nowadays, the essence is not there anymore, as we have, among a few other references, the PAM 372, the 587, the 687, 662, too.
But when you see one of those... Your heart starts to beat faster... Indeed.
Best,

Dear Nico, just one very important question - where the heck did the sub seconds go on each watch in your photo?!
My wheels will come off soon....
the other day I exchanged the 2 Explorers, on this 3D I missed the fact that the..one..next to the 217 is not a Fiddy but a 372...LOL This on top of the fact that the "seconds" are missing...all around". I'll keep Bill's pictures as pictorial reference fo...
fully agree
gets me excited every time it's on my wrist....it's also in the history books! ...
These were the authentic days Nicolas!
the days where everything was just 44mm and each time a new 47mm is out there we were all like: wow that's a 47mm! It's a Fiddy or MM lefty. Nowadays that's not the case anymore! 47 is just like any other model! Laurent
Legendary tuna cans..
