What is your favorite “blue” Panerai

Getting the itch for something blue. Looking at the JLC Polaris, Cartier Santos, maybe a Blancpain FF in blue…

But Panerai was my first “real watch” and I’d likely be moving my 000 for this.

So what’s your fave Panerai with a blue face?

I have a PAM 1313 and wear it on the blue rubber strap. I love it.

You can buy any PAM with black dial and fit with blue straps.
That is the beauty of PAM, the straps will outshine the watch. You can change the straps for as little as $50 or as much as $1,000 and boom, you have a whole new watch, the only watch in the world.

You just knew I'd show up

This is by far my favorite blue dial of any brand, ref 690.

The dial is a rich sunburst blue that changes depending in light conditions.

No filter used in any of these pictures.IMG_20191115_150013_844.jpg20190913_121628.jpg20180904_095149.jpg20180324_161423.jpg20180323_101544.jpg

You and I both had issues with the 43mm seadweller, no issues with wearability on this one?

Non whatsoever. The shape of the cushion case and the flat caseback make it so easy to wear.

Its incredibly comfortable even though its 47mm.

Give PAM credit on their blue dials - they're better than most....

Best blue Panerai. Best blue dial, period (sorry 5711 or 15202).

Having owned one it’s excellent. But the blue overseas is a touch nicer imo.

Definitely not a "traditional" Panerai, but I've come close to ordering a 1664. I like the idea of blue with the Carbotech, however I'd really like to see one in person first. Does anyone know if "Online Exclusive" means that you wouldn't see one in a boutique (certainly would seem that way)?
