I have a PAM 390. What do you recommend for a sandwich dial with GMT function?

I would recommend my PAM 1056 but it is a Limited edition and is currently very sought after and expensive.

Every Panerai seems to be a special or limited edition!!

I sought out the 797, so , for me, it is a top model to own.

I personally find the brand Panerai extremely fresh especially with the new materials like Carbotech but I like Panerai to be fresh and a outside the box brand. They do make some head scratchers but that’s what you get when a brand is a crazy Genius.

This is spot on 10000%
