That is magnificent! I've been looking at this one since it was introduced last year.

How do you find the manual wind? Does it hold the 3 days? That's the only thing I'm iffy about, having never owned a manual wind before.

Congratulations, it s such a beauty

I prefer manual wound watches and yes it holds 3 days. Nothing better in the morning while sipping a coffee to wind your watch, it is a private moment with the watch and you.

They are very rare nowadays. Only 500 were made.

Looks great, almost wish I didn't have to sell my brand new one. Unfortunately, bills are calling. Enjoy that beauty!

I'm beginning to think I dropped a knacker in allowing one to slip through my fingers last year. Stunning piece

Love blue dials. This is my favorite looking PAM of recent... but it's almost so beautiful, that I couldn't imagine wearing it

I know it doesn't make much sense

Beginning to think? I thought that a long time ago!

Do you guys think Panerai will produce another PAM with similar blue dial and design elements that won't be a limited release as the 690 was? I just feel with the success and popularity of the 690, they simply must. Your thoughts...

I jumped on board back in June I know what you mean about that dial

I was lucky enough to find one through a TS here at a reasonable price

Does anyone know if they will introduce a new model with this dial soon? I know there is the Due, but I can’t accept the lack of water resistance and snap on case back given the history of Panerai.
