PAM 112 Servicing Question
I bought a 2012 Panerai PAM 112 recently that was serviced at some point. It’s keeping excellent time and the amplitude is strong. I had a watchmaker take a look at it and with his loupe (didn’t open it up but it has a display back) he felt the jewels …
Continue readingSub $5k preowned PAM – which models should I consider?
What’s a good one and done PAM in the sub $5k range preowned? Is the 8 day the way to go? They have so many identical looking models it’s hard to choose. Omega milks their moon watch too but at least there’s only 1 OG. No such a thing with panerai.
I …
What other brands to consider
I like the heft and the feel that it is produced from a big chunk of metal, while still having an organic case shape.
The watch feels bullet proof and free of fuss, without having to be babied when worn, while still retaining an extent of refinement.
Not looking for homages as I can’t stand copies of watches, but what other brands / watches have you found give the qualities listed above?

Why can’t Panerai provide consistent answers to questions PAM 1086
So this is a bit of a continuation from my post on my new PAM 1086. Thank you for all the replies and provided answers that you had, but Panerai is unable to provide any consistent answers to my two questions and contradict themselves.
1. Is the bezel…

I just purchased a PAM1086 after wanting a Panerai for quite a long time, specifically the PAM000 when I first became aware of it. I love the simplicity of it and to me that is the beauty of it. I’m not so concerned of the lesser water resistant, I gue…

Hello all, I – like many of you – cherish Panerai as a brand. I’ve owned an assortment of nicer watches, but something about Panerai’s design language and feeling on the wrist always pulls me back to the brand. I just friggin love these things!
My dilemma? My 6.5″ wrist (maybe 6.75″ on warmer days) isn’t exactly the ideal canvas for larger watches. Despite this, I previously rocked a PAM00111…
PAM 1312 automatic rotor – broken
Super disappointed, I’m able to manually wind my PAM 1312 and it will run, however it will not continue to run despite wearing it daily.
I’m guessing it’s the rotor that’s broken. In normal operation, the rotor was always very loud (annoyingly so) but tolerable. But now, the rotor freely spins much more, if that makes sense.
I purchased it from one of the forums very trusted sellers (BNIB) in 2021. Stupidly, I never went to on the Panerai website to register for the…
