Icon17 My first Panerai - Pam 390

Hi all

Does anyone know what the hands are made of - are they gold?

Really looks clean! Nice watch, my first was a PAM 24. Now I own 4, but still love the first.

something I never really noticed before on the 390, but are the numbers just flat painted or are they raised (sausage)?

It's "stuffed*" like the logos (000, 005, 380)

Thanks all.

It's an awesome watch...dare I say that I prefer it to my rolexes?!

It's more rare in the wild and people don't think I'm a snob =D
