The Pam690 in a 45mm?

Is there anyone else that would like to see the style of the Pam690 in a 45mm Radiomir with or without the second hand?

Since I dont have any AD's in my area to try on a 47mm I just cant buy one. I am afraid it will be just to big. Maybe one of you guys could sent me your watch to try on and see how it fits

Unfortunately they're all gone.

It does make me wonder why they still show it on their website...

Yes but no 690 in 45 mm, that would be my dream as well.

100% yes.
I would LOVE to see this watch in a 45mm version-- I would be all over it.

I just can't get myself to love the 728/729 Due's. I don't know if it's b/c the brushed titanium case just doesn't look right against a polished bezel on a supposedly dressier piece, or another reason, but the watch just doesn't do it for me.

I can't wait to see more of the blue dial releases, and really hope they decide to do the BMG Big tech in a 42 or 44mm variant.

A while ago there was a rumor of blue dial version of 346/735 as Panerai do still have P2002/9 date movt,let's hope that rumor becoming a reality soon

If only Panerai do titanium 233 with blue dial and white lume....kinda like 290 with a twist..

The 233 blue dial version would be very interesting. Better yet, what if the case is all polish along with the blue dial and gold hands?

The charm of the 690 is ,in a big part at least for me ,due to that wonderful domed Saphire, that plays so well with the light and the blue. If I can pull off the size I would even prefer it to my holy grail the 689 in 45 mm. I will try it.
. The 605 would be nice as well , but the blue is just a notch better than the sunburst anthrazit. But than the Luminor case is a bit sexier than the Radiomir ;)

So the perfect watch would be :
simple dial ( like the 605) but blue
45 luminor case
Handwound 8 days
Domed Saphire

Well we won’t see this one that’s for sure :)

You are describing a 689 except that a 689 is a ten day auto and the 233 is an 8 day manual...689 is a boutique only with 400 produced in 2016...

This is a gorgeous piece...very similar to 689 except this is brushed v all polished, luminova markers v ecru markers, and blue hands b gold hands...this also has a domed crystal as opposed to the semi domed of the 689...very interesting example...I didn’t know it exists!

Thanks for pointing me to the 689. The automatic movement sits a little too high for me. If they can put in a hand wound movt, I’ll be ecstatic.

I hear you. The PAM 670 is a 47mm blue dial 3,6,9,12 with a domed crystal, blue dial, ecru markers, and gold hands (and a 24 hour GMT)...it’s an 8 day manual so it sits lower on the wrist. But it also has the EOT complication and a TI case...check it out

I own a 690, 389 and a 422 and they are all 47 mm cases. In comparison the 690 wear the smallest of the three. If you can find one to try on I bet that it would work very well for you as I think it wears much like a 45 mm watch. Which is great. Not to many 690's on the market and they are pulling good numbers for the seller. Most are 20-40% above retail. They can be had though. A worth quest.
