Sunday Picture: Pam 24 A.
Here is a picture of a watch I recently photographed, a Pam 24 A, with its smooth bezel. There is a lot to say, and I will certainly prepare a post about what I consider as the nicest Submersible ever made by Panerai, with the 64. Certainly one of the few...
These earliest submersibles....
PAM24 & PAM25 are amongst my favorite submersible, along with the PAM64 and the Egiziano (despite of the size) And both PAM24 & 25, to me are the closest, civilized version of the Egiziano Very wearable and has a very strong Panerai character to it Thanks...
I particularly like the high polish of the case!
Enjoy your sunday too mon ami! Ciao Stephen
Hey, mon ami.
Without you, this shot wouldn't have been possible. You have a superb specimen. Forza, as you say! Nicolas.
If only Panerai decided to release the Egiziano in a wearable size...
Somewhere between 45 and 47 mm would be perfect! Till now, this 24, and the Fat Bomba are my first choices. Best, Nicolas.
44mm in my opinion... even at 47 mm it would be akward to wear
because of the shape of the case, but I reckon IF they did make it......47mm how long to Jan 2012?????????????????????????????????????
Well, I think the Egiziano has to stay a big watch.
But in a wearable size... So 47 mm may well be a good compromise. Let's see what they will do, IF they do it. Best, my old friend. Nicolas.
To an extent, yes. I never figured you for a Sub chap...:-)
Only difference, I draw the line at the 24A. No place, in my Hit Parade, for the Bomba or any other Sub (and that include the Bronzo)... Ciao - Sergio
And to think at one time you said you didn't take good photos
Outstanding shot my friend and really captures the life of the early sub . . looks great !!
I love all the T dial subs....and the A serie totally underestimated. but FGS keep it
QUIET...... till AFTER I get one! my fave is the 25... T dial mmmmhhhh after the one I have ofcourse This message has been edited by imran in london on 2011-12-18 14:58:06...
Even though I prefer brushed surfaces, I must say the 24 looks fantastic
And with a early Sub "feel" that has mutated and even lost in newer versions. Thanks for the Sunday pic, though I only saw it now on Monday. Best, Horo
You're so Horo Late! :)
I totally agree... With the later versions, Panerai lost its the natural balance and appeal of " The Sub ". Best, Nicolas.
That is funny... This is a watch I very well knew in the early 2000s.
I didn't see it for years, and to see it again renenwed my flame and love for it... It is so pure! Best, Nicolas.
No arguing here.
The smooth polished bezel is special. Even as I crave a 382 Bronzo, the newest interpretation of the Submersible, how can you ever beat this, now a classic? Thanks Nicolas.
We're surfing on the same wave, here.
The only thing which COULD beat a 24 A WOULD be an Egiziano 47 mm.... IF Panerai decides to release it, one day... Best, my friend. Nicolas.
