The beginning of 47mm era

 
 By: i_am_Sam : March 11th, 2011-05:36
With all the hype of the new PAM372, I would like to share some photos of 4 watches that started 47mm era of modern Panerai watch.. It all started with the PAM127, launched in 2002. I believe that during that time, the size was too big. It was also actual...  

That is what I thought...

Your next one will be the 372! Superb text, and pics, Sam. Can't agree more with what you wrote. Here you have a superb selection of the Panerai Panna de la Panna. Best, Nicolas;

I highly consider PAM372 as my next one..

 
 By: i_am_Sam : March 11th, 2011-05:42
As I think it will complete my 47mm trio... Well at least until the steel version of 373 comes.. Thank you for your kind word Nicolas! Have a great weekend Sam

Why until?

 
 By: amanico : March 11th, 2011-06:14
You know you will get the b372 ( me too, by the way ) AND the 373 if it comes in SS.... You know that, I know that. Does Panerai know that? Best, Nicolas.

Let's wait and see [nt]

GREAT PIX, GREAT POST. Major 127 envy. Need to reshoot w/ a 372 soon. ;-) Thanks for the pics. Sean

Forgot the 203...

Thank you Sean...

 
 By: i_am_Sam : March 11th, 2011-16:28
I really hope so.. And as for the 203, it didn't count and wasn't mentioned in my post as it is too rare Also I didn't mention the 294.. A plexi version of the 232 Best, Sam

294

 
 By: Aqua-nut : March 12th, 2011-09:04
Oh jeez...now I'm itching...MORE plexi! Thanks again for the pics, can't wait to see the 372 amongst them. With you on the 203, I lost appreciation for where those values have gone, WOW! Sean

Sam, that is an awesome quartet, and an inspiration for me..

 
 By: Miranda : March 11th, 2011-10:47
The price of these is alreay more than the original, so I wait for 372, and lets hope for a 373 and 6154. I would be happy with those. Thanks for sharing your wonderful collection with us. It was your pre A that inspired me to get a tritium. you're danger... 

I'm flattered

 
 By: i_am_Sam : March 11th, 2011-16:47
My PreA is what inspired you to buy the 203/A?? I'm really flattered Well yes, wait for the 372 and 373.. I'm really sure it's gonna be another classic pieces! Best,

Wonderful quartet mate

My Pam collection philosophy differs from you, like we shared the last time, I am just into case material for Pam and only radiomirs. But I get your point. Best, Horo

Thanks Horo!

 
 By: i_am_Sam : March 11th, 2011-16:48
Yes I remember clearly... But if I'm not mistaken you're eying on a Cali... Best, Sam

Yes, but I already have a SS radiomir

 
 By: Hororgasm : March 11th, 2011-20:27
I wias thinking of switching. But I will refrain for now. Best, Horo

and I thought.....

 
 By: sirjo : March 11th, 2011-19:01
you had gone and got yourself a nice 127... Oh well, in not too distant a futue, then?? Cheers - Sergio

Well....

 
 By: i_am_Sam : March 11th, 2011-19:36
It would be nice if I have a 127 to complete the set... But seems that I'm really content with the trio for now... But again, who knows.... Only time will tell my friend... Best, Sam

Congrats again Sam. Enjoyed reading the post....

 
 By: John HS : March 11th, 2011-19:04
and the photos. You should get the Fiddy now and complete the post-v. set. Regards Your good friend.

Thanks John!

 
 By: i_am_Sam : March 11th, 2011-19:37
A fiddy would be a really nice addition to complete the set... But I'm really content with the 217... For now let's just stick with these 3.... Have a great weekend John! Sam

That's a great post!!

Those are 4 ideal Panerai's

 
 By: AnthonyTsai : March 13th, 2011-08:22
and I would assume your next one would be a PAM372? It would be at home with those 4 other watches. Cheers, Anthony

Yes.. I'm really considering a 372....

 
 By: i_am_Sam : March 15th, 2011-03:27
The 372 will complete my 47mm line up nicely... But it might not be my next one.... Cheers Sam

So what's your next one then :) Spill the beans! [nt]

Great shots!

And recap of all the 47mm! I see you catching up very fast Sam, and wish you all the best in getting more pieces too! Cheers Stephen

Thanks Stephen!

 
 By: i_am_Sam : March 15th, 2011-03:29
Yes ... I'm looking forward to get more 47mm, and the one I can only think of now is of course the 372... Anyway, how have you been? I haven't heard from you for a while... I hope you settled well in Bandung! Take care my friend! Sam

It still takes awhile to get used to in Bandung for sure!

 
 By: BluNotte : March 15th, 2011-08:22
And the primary reason that you have not heard much from me is cause the internet there is crap! Nonetheless i do hope to be able to get a more reliable source of it soon. Cheers and take care Stephen

Well Stephen...

 
 By: i_am_Sam : March 15th, 2011-08:35
Internet in Indonesia in general is crap... I'm all used to it already... But of course there are more reliable source.. Hopefully you'll get it soon... Ciao! Sam

Great post Sam!

 By: Tony A.H : March 21st, 2011-19:28
and i agree with you all the way regarding these 4 Models. ! they're certainly a Modern Interpretation of the Classic/Historic Panerai. AWESOME Collection Sam. wear them all in the best of Health. sorry for the Late Response !!. i just got back Today from... 

11 Day Trip Only??!!

 
 By: i_am_Sam : March 22nd, 2011-09:16
Even I would be really thankful if I have a full one week holiday... I hope you had a great time there Tony! Yes.. Truly agreed! And what I think is that I'm really sure Panerai will come out with so much better models in the future but these 4 will alway... 

:0)))
