My new purchase

I’ve been following the PAM 692 since it was introduced and finally decided to pull the trigger. Pictures don’t do this PAM justice, as I suspect is the case for other watches.

It’s more comfortable than my 305 was and I love the new materials used to construct the watch. I have a smaller wrist, but this watch sits nicely, and again, very comfortable.

Here are some pictures.

Amazing watch and I agree pictures do not do it justice.

I was never sure I could pull off a 47mm Panerai but this watch wears extremely comfortably on the wrist and does not seem as large as other 47 submersibles.

If I could have purchased at the original price I would have one in the collection right now but I could not stomach the 30% price increase. Huge shame and hopefully one day I will own one.

Thanks All, apprecate the comments

Dan2010, you’ll love the watch. I thought I bought one of the last initial first batch runs, how. Where did you locate this one? Or is this a new run at the higher $13.3k price?

i really like that watch. Congrats

Sorry to hijack but the boutique in London told me the price is going up.

Edit... never mind i checked ... it went from like £7k to £11k over the past two weeks... i guess they weren't lying when trying to get me to buy it

I guess that makes sense as it was priced lower than the titanium one before and its way better IMO

I don't pay retail for any watches. I've been around the watch world for a long time and I know alot of people that I can source watches from. I can't wait to see this one in person.

Thanks All. Good for you Dan2010. Yes, agreed, most watches can be sourced at a discount, I prefer to buy from ADs, gives an extra layer of confidence and takes away any warranty concerns. This is my first non AD purchase through Addy at ADDY616, and was a possitive experience at a fair price for a high demand PAM. But agreed, nice to not pay retail, especially because many watches are a depreciating asset. Except of course, for most of my stainless steel Rolexs and my PAM Bronzo...

Congratulations, that's a great looking watch! I've been wanting to see the 692 in person but they're rare!

Looks very nice on your wrist, enjoy it!
