The 'Beast' PAM193

Anyone got/had one of these?
Thoughts/experiences welcomed.
Sounds like it doesn't wear as big as it sounds. I wear a 389 regularly.
Cheers in advance.

I'm a huge fan. Wore one for a while. I love huge watches, and this one doesn't sit as huge as you'd think (to your point).

A very cool watch, even though I never used the depth gauge.

We'll, went and did it...

What do you get when your 389 becomes your office watch? You get something even bigger. I often say if you're wearing a Panerai it might as well be big. Go the 'Beast' :)

Some quick pics from last night and today.

This clearly isn't an everyday watch, and I have the option to return it, but this is proof to me that I'm still a 'collector' of watches as I have no need for it and it's pretty off the wall, but I'm going to keep it.

Do you wear a suit in your office? If so can you show me some pics with suit and 389?

I rarely wear a jacket these days, but here are some with shirt. Wrist 6.8 inches.

The last pic is a better one for showing perspective i.e. how others will see the size versus how we see it from close up.

Nope. Just standard.

Re size, it's 47mm diameter and 22mm depth.

Here are some side by sides with my 389.

It looks amazing, but the 193 caseback says ‘120m’. Is that correct?

Yep. That's the limit of the depth gauge, so the 'instrument' is limited to that regardless of what the watch itself can handle.

This article about the subsequent PAM307 gives some good insight into how the depth gauge module works https://www.horobox.com/en/review-de...gauge-pam00307
