PAM 111 Buyers Remorse

I have had my Panny 111 about one week and I have to say, I have buyers remorse.
.
.
.
.
.

I have remorse that I did not purchase a Pam two years ago when I first got the larger watch bug. Being so dress watch oriented I am surprised how much I like this watch. I will be a keeper unless down the line I look to trade up to a 8 day or 10 day movement or one in rose gold(one can dream).

Panerai's are cool watches.

Yes Mort, we have to ask ourselves why we waited so long before we bought that first PAM ??

Keep the 111 in the future and rather ad a 8/10 day or RG.

Whats more dressy than a ss polished case Luminor on a nice black gator strap ?? .... Not many !!

Have to disagree,PAMs are not cool watches,they are ....

The Coolest !!!

Have had my eyes on the PAM 111 for a while, going to try it out in a store pretty soon.
It sure looks good on your wrist!

Buyers remorse!!

I ask myself why? but after reading your thread I was very happy to know that you love your Pam as we all do......... I can tell you that I'm in love with mine to the point that my other brands are taking a long rest

Been there, done that. No Panerai now, but I can see myself having another one in the future, perhaps either a PAM 233 or the new PAM 312 (Luminor 1950 Marina 3 Days Automatic).

What is the MSRP on the 312?

Same here,but reversed.... been there,done that and no Rolex now.Cant see one in the future unless they make some proper sized watches.DSSD,doesnt count ... dial too small for the size of the bezel and the case.Not even talking about the inscriptions ...

312 should be in the $6500 class.Thereabouts.

Great watch Mort! You'll never regret that one. I know what you mean though, I had myself convinced a few years ago that Pams 44's were way too big for my wrist. Finally trying one on last year turned me to the dark side!

Hey Mort,

You can always fix the 111 with a tin of rose gold paint.
