Yours, Jeremy?

Thanks a lot for these pics, my friend.

Yep, I'm in love with this Pam 7, I  love this white dial, in fact one of the very rare white dial on a Panerai that I appreciate.

So why is it acceptable to get a white dial on a Panerai?

Even more for a Mare...?

Because when you look at what was called Mare Nostrum in the Panerai production ( years 30's and 40's ) , you see that these were tools to measure the time, as minuters  for bombs, for example, or desk clocks...and they were....White dialed.

So yes, white dials are an evocation of these tools, and for me, they are aboslutely legitim.

As for this Pam 7, the watch has a big and impressive presence, not due to its reasonnable size ( 42 mm ), but its pure, simple, sober style and design.

I had the opportunity to see one in 2000, and I was completely stuck on this piece...

Since this day, I hunt one...

Thanks a lot, Jeremy, for these pics.

Best, my friend.
