the only one I've seen here in Dublin (outside the AD) turned out to be a fake!

Interestingly 90% of the customers of the Dublin AD are overseas (mainly asia)

seattle1978 · 29 November 2011, 04:18 AM

I never seen anyone wearing Panerai in Seattle...

InTime · 29 November 2011, 10:27 AM

Before tonight, I'd have said no, but I'm at the Gaylord convention center outside of DC and saw a PAM base model at the table next to me a lunch.

DS_Obsessed · 30 November 2011, 02:11 PM

Saw one in the wild. While attending a birthing class with my wife.

ArthurU · 30 November 2011, 03:28 PM

On Bloor street in Toronto, at the red carpet event this past summer. The only time ive run into anybody wearing one.

and the ones who have little interest in talking about them are often wearing fake Luminors.

herbalt · 1 December 2011, 01:45 AM

I see lots of PAMs in NYC. Hard to tell how many are real though.

masterkiller · 1 December 2011, 02:03 AM

Not often at all....

/masterkiller

InTime · 2 December 2011, 11:53 AM

i agree with the posters here, tons of fake ones. though i havent seen many in the wild!

Ebruner · 2 December 2011, 01:01 PM

Twice. I was shocked both times. I had to take a double take. Both times were on a Dive boat in Bonaire.

visconti · 2 December 2011, 05:01 PM

as far as I remember.. I've seen 6 other pam wearer.. 3 being people that I know, 1 my gp, and 2 others are random.

Xenophon · 3 December 2011, 05:16 AM

Standing on the Tube every morning, heading to Bank I always have a look to see if I recognise any watches. Only once in 9 months have I seen a PAM. I see Omegas daily and Rolexes at least every other day. I honestly saw a chap with a black ceramic, diamond dialled Rado the other morning, yuck.

I was having some additional Tattoo work done yesterday, and there was a guy wearing a 316 in the shop. We chatted briefly about watches while I was being needled.

I see them at the Sushi bar almost every time I am there.

1675-David · 3 December 2011, 05:59 AM

I've seen quite a few in Stockholm but how many are real I cannot say. I suspect quite a few are fakes as Thailand is one of the most popular holiday destinations for Swedes...

cgjane · 3 December 2011, 06:14 AM

I saw one in Cancun Airport. 1 to the 10 Daytonas I saw...

BaltimoreBrian · 3 December 2011, 07:49 AM

I had one guy come up to me while i was waiting outside the movie theater. At first i noticed this stranger walk by once, then again, and on the 3rd pass he stopped and said, "Nice PAM." At that point he lifted his shirt cuff, displayed his PAM, and proudly told me his story of how he acquired it.

Italia64 · 3 December 2011, 10:03 AM

I see quite a few, I'd say about 1 per month on average. I travel a lot though, so it it not too uncommon to see business people with nice timepieces at the airport or on a plane.

Watchdog · 4 December 2011, 11:14 AM

Very rare, actually, and I live in a highly populated area. Only a few that I can remember--the last one on an elevator in Vegas. The guy had NO IDEA what model he was wearing and knew NOTHING about the watch.

TSW · 4 December 2011, 07:27 PM

On a every day basis!

Schultzie · 5 December 2011, 01:53 AM

I have never seen one in the wild and I always notice watches. I live in Denver but travel quite a bit. I see tons of Subs everywhere I go, and I am also the proud owner of a Sub w/date, but the sub has seen almost no wrist time since my 104 arrived. I'm up to 12 straps now and love changing the look to match my outfit. I will also add that my Rolex always got compliments but no one looks twice at my PAM....I like that.

mikelprz · 8 December 2011, 03:44 AM

Seen a lot of Rolex in my travels. I did see a guy wearing a PAM in New Zealand..
And actually a girl wearing a PAM in Bangkok.

bullbanker · 12 December 2011, 05:06 AM

I second the on the plane comment, I travel quite a bit for business and see two or three a year. Had a flight attendant point out mine on a flight recentely and make quite a big deal about it which made me a bit uncomfortable.

guyrolex · 31 December 2011, 02:48 PM

I regularly see Pam's in bigger cities like NYC, Chicago and LA- and also in Toronto, but they are almost always worn by younger high income financial sector guys. And they notice my 312 quite often- I have had at least 5 Pam wearers stop and ask me about my 312 and show theirs to me

toulouse · 31 December 2011, 04:09 PM

I haven't seen anyone up by me. I do see a LOT of submariners. That sort of sealed the deal for me when I was looking for my watch. I didn't want to be part of the herd. (though I wouldn't mind owning the new larger Explorer 2).

Fearsome Puppy · 31 December 2011, 11:05 PM

Think I saw a boutique edition on a guy in a bookshop in Penang last week. Wanted to get a closer look but thought better of it...

RedBaronF2001 · 1 January 2012, 01:20 AM

I'm surprised I don't see more of them here in Nashville. I've seen a few, though, despite not having an AD nearby.

In the sea of two-tone Subs it's nice to stand out with something different.

Athas · 1 January 2012, 08:23 AM

Never seen one in South Australia
