3 amigos in Pam nirvana!
Over the years and after going through 20 models.. I think I have finally found my Pam nirvana.. in 3 different materials .. 111G, 25C and 360. I told my wife I am really done now with Panerai!!








Have a great week ahead everyone!

Best,

Fred

Hey Mike!

I really tried over the years to love the Rads... 190, 287, 380.. but somehow at the end, the chemistry just did not click. However.. I did recently try on the 47mm's... and if I do get a call on the 449, I will add one into the collection(well... for someone who is on sabbatical and not working... not sure if my wife will be happy with me adding here!).. I hope!

Best,

Fred

A very subtle collection. 360 is indeed classy. A rad will compliment them nicely though IMO. Thanks for sharing.

Love the 372 but my skinny wrist... they don't get along so well! I think 47mm Rad on my wrist is the furthest I can go!

Best,
Fred

Just curious, but what do you value the 360 at? It seems pretty rare.

That is a good question. I know 360 trades at some 4 to 1 multiple at retail but if I really to sell her... I must be in dire and troubled situation. Personally, I was a watch buddy with Bob and this watch was created in honor of him and his contribution to the Panerai community. It goes without saying the watch is for me, value way beyond dollar and cents. So.. long answer to a short answer.. I guess every 360 owner will tell you something different of what they deem as the value for the piece.

Best,

Fred
