Panerai PAM 190 - Back to basics - Back to the future.

Mar 10, 2014,09:56 AM
 

My I present the Panerai PAM 190 classic sophistication from Panerai.  Housing a wonderful Eight Days movement from I believe is from Jaeger LeCoultre.  While yes there is the 8 Days on the dial they chose to hide the reserve indicator on the back of the watch to keep the dial Pure.  And look at those lovely golden hands.

After follow the recent thread about reinventing models.  Sergio4 had a pretty clear idea of the DNA of Panerai 3 6 9 12.  It got me thinking I also feel the basics are really the beauty of what Panerai represents to meet.

Just personal taste.  Less is more when comes to Panerai.

I hope Sergio4 will approve.

lamentable the "8 days" on the dial, but Richemont has put it there, so long ago, it has become part of the...maison (right of abode, so to speak). I'm not sure my "approval" should be worth a damn but....I like this model!!!! I also happen to own a 197 :... 

It is borderline with the Billboard text 8 Days

But is passes the test as a whole presentation. Don't you love the feel when winding and the total lack of noise from the ticking. While it is pushing the envelope of the pure dial the Pam 190 has a place in the roster. Thanks for your thoughts I was a li... 

The 190 is one of my fav PAM!

I kept the original strap and avoided dressing it with any other strap. Classic Pam 190 can be worn sporty or dressy. Thanks Bill

My Fav PAM too

I also own a 190. I still consider this the best PAM to own considering look and quality of movement.

But I like the 190 too. Same movement, rose gold. Hope to own one day.

The only one I regret giving up

LOVED my 190, which I sold for an offer I couldn't refuse at the time. Wish I hadn't. The 190 still holds a benchmark hard to beat.

Congrats

is a big winner as I have a big wrist and can read the time without my glasses. The weight of the Plat is also a bonus!.
