new pam!

Oh... now I am sweating for you too!

[eelnoj]

in fact my wife loves the 422 also. she said the size is unique of Panerai is well known for. i'm glad she like the 422 but the bad thing is she is looking at the AP Millenary ladies 77301ST.ZZ.D002CR.01. now i'm sweating.....

hi bro, thanks for the feedback. i don't have a much bigger wrist than you, mine is just 6.3". i had initially thought that the 47mm one are out for me until i put the 422 on my wrist and wow, that changed my perspective. the 372 is nice but i prefer a few extras on the watch face, that's really a personal preference.

S$9800 for 351 seems a good price when the MRSP in SG is 11.2k. I should be getting mine from Milan and hopefully can i get a good deal out of it.

now, the 351 or the 422...... or both? 351 for weekday and 422 for weekend sounds really good... i'm such a *****.

Oh cool! That means I have a "chance" to get a 372! Wife is not going to be too happy...

IMO, I would get either one but not both because both looks almost exactly the same... the 422 being bigger and missing the date only. That's why I bought a 219 Destro to compliment my 351. A base Pam and a Pam with complications! I am set, for a while before the poison comes again.

Ah... a Bronzo or a 372, my targets...

BUT OF COURSE, this is my own opinion and I respect your decision any how you decide! Buy what you love and not what others say!

thanks guys. i think i have pretty much made a decision..... the pam422. let's hope i will be able to get it at a good price.

422 akan datang!

Sounds like a good plan! It comes down to personal preference at this point (and of course affordability).

Bro get the 422, I have a small wrist as well and initially I tried the 372 and 422 when I got my 359 and deep in my heart I still have a longing for both watches. Looks really good even on small wrists.

I was also contemplating between 320 or 351 not long ago but finally ends up with 351..

Love the watch!...

wow bro. congrats to your 351 and i love seeing those customised straps that you posted.

like you, i will be owning my first pam soon. currently having a dilemma between the 351 and the 422. i like the date function and the lightness as well as the gold hands on the 351. but when i put on the 422, the 47mm just looks sooo good despite my small wrist (my current watch is a Omega Speedmaster) and not to mention its everlasting classic look. omg.... which should i get??

if is it ok, could you pm me how much you paid for the 351? it will give me a good price comparison for better a better judgement. cheers!

Well, I have to say that you have a very nice dilemma! Most importantly, you have tried on a 47mm and it fits! I have not had the chance to try a 47mm Luminor 1950 but from my limited experience, the 44mm is just about as big as I can go, especially with only a 6.25" wrist.

May I suggest you compare the 372 and 422 instead? Here's some feedback: http://www.network54.com/Forum/35339...422+vs+PAM+372

Sorry to throw a spanner in your thought process!

The reason for me getting the 351 was because of its smaller size,the seconds sub-dial,date, gold hands and sandwich tobacco face. And it gives me a chance to get other models that are different from my 351!

As for the pricing, I bought it from an overseas AD for around S$9,800 in Nov 2012.

Cheers and happy hunting!

Gunny Dark Oil Series is on the way!





Customised length with a GPF Sandblasted buckle. As you can see, there is no holes!

Went out today and got myself one of these:



Any suggestions on punching the buckling hole exactly for my wrist is much appreciated!

Can't wait!

Just PMed you.

As for the titanium case, from what I hear, it is less prone to scratches but of course, you cannot just polish off any scratches like other SS Panerai. Only ways that I know of are to either get a titanium scratch pen (if the scratches are small) or to send your watch in (if the scratches are worse).

Till date, not a single scratch on the titanium case but there are the usual hairline marks on the SS dial, due to usage.

Thanks Bro!

the blue croc looks wicked bro... very cool

[azrielsc]

Guess it is time to show the customised new straps on my wife's 219. Had quite a bit of PMs regarding the Monster Tail croc strap too, so here are some photos!

Dark Navy Monster Tail Croc Strap







But her fav is this Boa Snake in Black & Beige Strap

Boa Snake in Black & Beige Strap







Both are 24/24, 115/63mm and comes with polished Pre-V buckles and have 1 single floating wide keeper each.

Took about 1-2weeks for customisation and delivery to my home.

Cheerio!
