Officine Panerai

Very close to the Fiddy, unveiled at the SIHH 2012. With some differences, such as the in house movement instead of the ETA, and the ecru indices. Funny that the 127 is still in the conversations, while the 422 is almost a forgotten one. Best, Nicolas...  

I did of course choose the 372, but did give thought to this one.

All these PAMs in my head over many years, crazy to think of how much our personal mental databases hold!! LOL.

that was the one thing that really bothered me with the Fiddy. GEO

... the 127 had a nicer dial texture and the complete 3/6/9/12 configuration as well as this fantastic super-domed crystal, the 422 is more comfortable to wear, though. As others have mentioned, at the time it was introduced the Fiddy stood out, as did 21... 

Would be interested is your experiences on that.

condamned this model to oblivion. Don't get me wrong, it's still a rather handsome model but IMO, the 372 is perceived as possessing a purer DNA. If you add that they also released the 423 and it's awful PR (a-la 123), both the non-372 models have been so... 

but would make and exception for 372 because of its closeness to the vintage Pam DNA. If I wanted a seconds hand then the 127 is tops. Just my opinion.

No message body ...  

As to the 422 it's an awesome watch, one of my favourite PAMs.

On the 422... Would have made the watch very interesting with New movt and PR indicator on back... IMHO all 47mm need to have all 3,6,9,12 on dial. No excuse... There is definitely enough space!

On occasions, in this day and age, the attempt to please more and more people requires a bit ot..tinkering and twiching.. with the main models.

Love it. Also without 9. Best, Thomas ...
