Incoming!!!!!

So I entered the Panerai world by picking up a PAM310 back in Sept or October 2019. Sort of an obscure model nobody really cares about. I saw it in a case at a friend’s store, liked the size (40mm) and decided to take it home. I know many will scoff at a 40mm but it fit me well (or so I thought).

Here we are in June 2020 and a few custom straps later and I just haven’t bonded with it. I’ve worn it but I just don’t love it. So of course, once I start wavering, it’s gone.

Anyways, stumbled on a PAM1392 and it was delivered yesterday. I’m in love. The 310 is leaving tomorrow but this 1392 will be here for a long time! Love the feel, weight, size, and look! These 42mm 1950s are great!

Awesome model! Nice work, sir! My Radiomir is 42mm and it’s the perfect size for me.

I love the blue seconds hand and no cyclops too. Enjoy!

Agreed. I know the purists think 42mm is still small, but I’m a Rolex guy. This is the perfect fit for me! Love it!

Haha. I know that’s how it typically goes but having 4 Rolex and a Tudor before the Panerai, I just don’t see it. 42mm is the sweet spot for me.
