Love OG PAM but it’s a brand that continues to stray from its DNA.

So you’re saying that the newer models are not as well made? For instance, I owned a Rolex Submariner from the early 2000s and that watch, from the bezel and all, was not as well made as the no-date Sub I just examined at an AD.

I will visit a Panerai boutique this weekend as I have not handled a new Panerai for over a decade. But it seems to me that the new logo base should be of higher quality than the 000 that I bought 15 years ago.

Only downgrade 000 vs 1086 is WR, 30at (screw caseback) vs 10at (bayonet case back, not a snap back. For istance omega naiad lock is a bayonet). Pam test for +25% above declared.

Besides that 1086 has 8y pam guard warranty, and p6000 with declared 72 pw but in pratice 92h. Also it has much slimer case.
