Thanks Greg!
It is my passion that drive me to acquire these rare and beautiful Panerais. Full timer for these? Nahh.. I've mad a lot of sacrifice to acquire this one.. I think its hard to see myself acquiring another big piece any time soon.
As you said, the patina is somehow nice together with the tobacco dial, which is difficult to capture with camera. It is so much nicer in metal
I'm glad that you decided to wear it .. It need to be worn, as the best way to admire it is by having it on the wrist..
Hope all is well my friend!
Thanks! And have a great weekend!
Sam
PAM36 Marina Militare
We've all read a very good write up and review about the legendary PAM36 before. I'm lucky enough to be able to acquire this rare and very desirable, if not the most desirable Vendome era Panerai. It has a very unique feature and combination that no other...
Congratulations....
Like you, I am fascinated by this Panerai icon and am also lucky enough to own one. Your description made me head off to the cupboard where I keep it. Congratulations.... I understand 100% your love for this watch. I have to say, a few months ago I became...
Thanks Baron..
the 36 is really a lovely watch. And it's pretty hard to come by in the market. I think you made a right decision to keep it. I'm sure you're enjoying yours as much as I'm enjoying mine here Best, Sam
Nice, very nice!
Hello Sam, Reading your post and see the pictures of this beautifull "Marina Militare" is a pleasant way to start the weekend. You are a lucky man and i wish you all the best with your newly acquired timepiece. Best regards Fabio
Nice catch....Sam....
you will like this one a lot, I'm sure (more than the 201A Logo, for sure)... Cheers - Sergio
Thanks Sergio..
Yes, I'm liking this a lot.. There's many things going on on the 36.. Tobacco dial, 4 line, second hands and display case back.. Put all together it's a winning combination While the preV logo, I say it's more pure.. And of course has a very special meani...

I think old PAM is a better choice of words Stephen..
This one is from 1998 which is almost 14years old now.. I think you're the man in acquiring new PAMs Stephen.. I'm sure you'll be receiving some of your new ones soon.. Thanks and have a great weekend teman! Sam
Haha!
I think there's gonna be some delays with that one, but yes i do look so forward to receiving them soon! Ciao Stephen
Looking forward to see you receive them Stephen...
It has been a while.. The latest was the Mare wasnt it? But it is such a fantastic piece! Have great weekend my friend! Sam
Indeed, way too awhile!
You are correct, the latest piece of mine was the Mare, which unfortunately broke down too often, i have not even worn it trice! Hopefully that returns soon, thanks! You have a fabulous weekend too my friend! Ciao Stephen
You know my deep love for this watch, Sam.
The watch, which direclty came from the " Slytech Project ", its allure and personality, its aesthetics, its name, which was used with the kind permission of the Marina Militare... A great watch, which offers a lot of pleasure to his owner. Thanks for the...
I'm totally aware of that Nicolas..
One reason why I fell for PAM36 is because of your post. Which I think first introduced me to it.. It has such fine aesthetics and character, as it is unique of it's own I'd like to ask you a bit of story behind this "slytech project" that was planning th...
I think I already wrote something, or me, or Poy or Asi, about the " Projetto Slytech. "
Have a look on the right part of your screen called " New Blog posts "... You may find it. Thanks for your nice words, Sam. Best, Nicolas. This message has been edited by amanico on 2011-08-12 23:35:10
Ahh the one with the SlyTech brochures?
I finally get the online translator to do the translation for me... And it works... I found it Thanks for sharing this Nicolas! Best, Sam
Not only the brochure, but also a summary on what was the Slytech Project.
did you find it? Best, Nicolas.
Found it... :)
I wish I have someone who can translate Italian for me... I will try to google translate it tomorrow Thanks Nicolas! Sam
Can you please post the link, Sam? Thanks in advance, my friend;
It is a super post, which deserves to be read, once again. Best, Nicolas.
Not a problem Nicolas..
Is this the post that you meant? panerai.watchprosite.com Best, Sam
Congrats!!
Great post!! You really captured the allure of the 36 in the text and the pics. The first really attainable and affordable special edition. Super well done. Thanks Bill
Fantastic Pickup and a great intro to the PAM36
one rare bird and beautiful indeed... enjoy and wear it in the best of health...
OMG Sam! Huge Congrats!!!
You're truly becoming a fine collector of all things Pam! I admire your great patience and eyes in doing so as they really take up a great deal of time and luck to acquire those gems in your collections! I'm beginning to think you've turned full time now?...
Thanks Greg!

What a beauty Sam
Amazed with such a fine taste of yours at this age, I can feel your joy on this newly acquired piece, hope that you can get your 207 very soon my friend : ) best, ES
You mean the mighty 202/A Eddy?
I can only wish... As the price has been very highly inflated and even if I could afford it, it's a matter of if I could find one Thanks for your kind word mate! Sam
I agree, this is one of the mere few highly desirable Post-Vendome pieces...
Of course they are plenty other interesting PAMS, but that PAM 36 merits its place right at mere few on top of all PAMS. It has all ingredients and feel that anyone would desire a Panerai to be. Yes I like it too! Congratulations for this acquisition, I s...
I really think with PAM36 its not just the look...
But there's more to it... It's history, uniqueness and originality that counts as well... And that one in your picture is quite intriguing... Thanks for your kind word POY! Best, Sam
One of my faves
Big fan of these old school PAMs. What a beauty! Congrats on a great catch!
Great catch,,,,the 36 is gorgeous!
One of the best combos - titanium and tobacco - with the added benefit of the 4-liner balanced dial. Also brings back personal memories from many years back, a great meeting with PoyFR in a little place in Paris that involved some rarities including the 3...
Thanks Asi..
Well said about the combination... And as for PAM40, really it would make a nice pair for the PAM36. Thanks for your kind word Asi! Have a great weekend Sam
Ah yes....congrats again mate
Didn't realize it's the first SE to get special big boxes and scrolls. Thumbs up, Horo
Thanks Horo!
Yeppp.. It's the one that started using the ridiculously big box, that always eat half of my luggage space.. Thanks again Horo! Sam
Huge Congratulations....
i am sure any paneristi would love the legendary, mythical, and simply beautiful 36 and it's my favorite vendome panerai in my book (THE, not one of the!)
Thanks Jester!
To be honest I got the shoe before I picked up the watch. And not just 1 pair That's how crazy we ristis are Best, Sam
One of my fav vintage Pam, many hearty congrats to ya!
One awesome collection building up there.... Best, Imran
HUGE Congrats (again) Sam!!
Lookin' better & better on your wrist (despite the charsiews ) bro!
Thanks Horace!
More char siew=bigger wrist... so I can wear panerai better, like you wear your egiziano mate! Cheers & Enjoy your holiday! Sam
Panerai Special Edition catalogue shows
PAM36 is L Swiss L ? Awesome piece Sam. Congrats ! Cheers, Tuscanii
Yes it does...
But I believe they never made any L SWISS L dial for the 36... Strange but, that's how it is Thanks Sam
L SWISS L dials do exist.
There are several "L SWISS L' dials out there. They are service replacement dials that have made their way in the market.
Thanks for sharing this info...
I've never seen any before... But of course I'd like to know how it looks like Cheers, Sam
Congrats.
Congrats. Really a mythical timepiece and a part of the Panerai history. And your pics are so nice... thank you for those! Even if i make me hungry!!!!
