New Watch Alert - PAM 779
Saw this in Europe during my honeymoon back in Dec 2018.
Thought it was pretty sick (apart from the bund strap). Fast forward almost 2 years later, sold my submersible 1024 (discontinued btw, might look for a 24A tritium dial) for a titanium luminor case with Cali dial. No branding whatsoever. The perfect under the radar watch, perfect for traveling. My first titanium pam. Might Hunt for a 629. The pam hype might have been dead for awhile but there's always room for a pam in my collection (after all its the first watch that got me into watches). |

Bummer that there isn't much love for this watch. I agree with the OP - it's my ideal PAM. It's lightweight, waterproof, sterile cali dial, wearable size, strap monster, rational pricing with a great movement. If you're in the market for a PAM - which can feel like a sea of sameness - what's not to like?

This is an epic pick up man! While there isn't the same frenzy for Panerai that there was, I still believe that there's a sustainable appreciation for what the brand is and what it offers that's held by many still. As for me, Panerai was one of the brands that got me more interested in watches as well!
