Officine Panerai: Yes..

..i am. I was commenting that 70 turns would be good enough to get the watch up to 80hours PR. I hope OP has a good explanation for what happened to your piece. Hope it all turns out well and do keep us posted in any case. Handle manuals with care!!

Officine Panerai: Trying to read the market..

Amongst those paneristi in the know, i guess having a PR indicator matters. These are just the tip of the whole iceberg of those who wear pams. The trouble is (and a sad thing too), for most guys out there who are merely into the brand because it looks "macho" or something along those lines, it won'

Officine Panerai: Colours?

Don't let the colours influence your decision mate! I got my 24 today and i can't imagine it in another weird colour! Personally i think the blue/black GMT is kinda weird. The classic rolex colour is green. I just cannot get my head over the blue/back combination.

Officine Panerai: The choice is clear..

As always, go with what you like (without having to overpay). The GMT will hold value better if and only if you buy pre-owned. But a rolex will always be just a...rolex.

Officine Panerai: Making me think twice

..about the pam24. Had the 305 once and I've always likened it to be a warrior of Poseidon's Army, a mythic creature of the deep. There's this mesmerising cold utilitarian stare that it has and your pictures couldn't have done this watch further justice. Sold it a while ago and itching for it again.

Officine Panerai: Definitely

Harsh bright light brings out all the unneccessary ugly details. My preferred watch shots are always those in dim ambient light.
