Watch #4 ... stumbled across this one totally by chance the pam238

This time round I had 2 bullet points in mind...

.Gold
.Something I would not find on another persons wrist

Obviously something that wouldn’t cost me an organ which made it more difficult...

At the time I was really getting to know Panerai and it is where I felt most comfortable spending my money at the time, I came across the Pam238... having not scene this watch before I read about it and loved that it had a Girard-Perregaux movement I loved the two crowns, and the alarm function plus only 200 ever made in rose gold...

I have come to learn (after joining this community) that the alarm mechanism was further sourced from a different company called A.schild...

I knew this watch was a blasphemous watch to what Panerai stood for but every inch of me wanted it! It still made sense to me...

At 42mm people had there opinions but I was sure it won’t be long till Panerai produced more small watches for the masses.. and at some point when it reaches its vintage status it should flourish (11 years to go)

For those of you still reading what do you think?

Looks great! In terms of vintage cult status, only time will tell.

I bought the 238 from another collector that bought it with a RG deployant buckle from a higher up at Panerai. I wore it this week traveling to Orlando Florida because of the dual time function. Used the alarm function for my wake up calls. The 42mm is pe...

Thanks Jim you are the first person that is a current owner that I have spoken to a wrist shot would be great! Would love to see it on some one else [nt]

It is a nice looking watch, with friendly complications, but I don't see it becoming a cult watch. We are too far from Panerai DNA, in my opinion. [nt]

Not a mistake if you love it! That's the first golden rule: Buy what you like. [nt]

I agree with you completely... and I say mistake in the relative term... i am far from regretful about this purchase... and to add a cherry on top has gained sentimental value in the time I have owned it! [nt]

It's an alarm - got to be a winner! :-) [nt]
