Icon14 New RG PAM 740

New boutique-only 740: RG 42mm Cali 1940 Rad with blue hands and black dial. P.1000 movement.

I would like to see the blue hands with RG combo in real life to be sure, but, overall, it seems like a very, very nice looking package.

Nice one, but I think they should have done rose gold with a dial colour other than black. And as some in the past have mentioned, they shouldn't have removed the OP logo.

I prefer the previously limited release PAM 718 (https://www.watchcollectinglifestyle...-unsigned-dial), and if they ever release one in titanium, I'd love to have one!

That looks great. Wonder why they made it 50m and not 100m.

Beautiful piece. Simple, pure minimalistic beauty. Love now there is more 42pam options.

Not to sure why they choose to go without a logo. Maybe it's a new trend ? This is not good with so many homages available

Actually, it's the opposite of a "new trend"....The Cali dial historically doesn't have any branding, and all modern-day Calis don't have a logo or other branding except for the 424.

Thanks for the pics, Nick! I have been hoping to see a wrist shot of this one. I keep drooling over it at the Vancouver Boutique. It is definitely the Panerai answer to a dress watch. Looks stunning. Haven't quite decided yet whether to take the plunge. Just hope it is not sold out if I decide on it.
Really appreciate the pics.
Carl
