I have seen too many people regretting the Pam 243.
The discovery is unusual, the design is very brutal, heavy ,it's a strange feeling to wear this chunky piece of steel.
Honestly I always go for "classic proportion",a 44 mm is already too much for me, and at the first look the 243 seems a bit chavy , quite on your face...
And the watch is on your wrist, so just take a deep breath before saying it's not for you, because you have to take the time to domesticate it
it's like driving a bulldozer on a speedway!
Cheers!

...I preferred the 243 maybe because the Bomba was already the " Panerai bad boy watch, the cool Hit watch"... And the 243 was the bad*** :) ... And more than 10 years later, we still find more 243 than 64 on the market... So where is "the Nicos "243 fan ...
The PAM243 dial is super clean given it's a 1000m Submersible

The PAM64 had the baton markers as well as the stick minute markers which gave it a tad "busy" look IMO. I've always liked the PAM243 dial design more because it's more clean with the circle hour markers and no minute markers. But my favorite Submersible ...
