VSF PAM1074

[samsoniteman]

What are your impressions between the different versions? Do you have a favorite? If so why ? I’ve been flipping between the 47 and the new 1074…..I know I know ..get both

I'll play devil's advocate to @johnlogan
To me the 1074 is so much more wearable given the 42mm size. It looks great without being overbearing. I've only ever had 44 & 47mm PAMs so a 42mm is a whole new world to me.

I think the most important consideration is what you prefer and the size of your wrists. I have ~7 - 7.5" wrists - the 47mm wears fine (I still love 'em) but the 42mm IMO is a perfect fit.

If you're going for or prefer the oversized watch look, the 47mm is it. If you're looking for something that has more everyday wearability - the 1074. And dont get me wrong, the 42mm is smaller but its still a thicc b$tch lol - you will still have the undeniable Panerai presence regardless of which one you go for.

Good luck.

i have that same similar wrist size and I’ve got an opportunity to get my hands on a ZF 671 bronzoboy but a bit put off due to potential oversized.
Would have loved the 42 mm tho…

As you proclaimed ! Get both. If only one is on the table- get the 47!

Are they both similar quality.?

There’s no right or wrong answer here! Both are great pieces!

And what about ZF 671?

My 1074 arrived today and WOW its a great quality piece. Noted flaws aside, I am ecstatic this is now part of the watch rotation. Mounted a gunny strap to it... Love it!

What model of gunny is it ?

 

[Rollyman]

Have a nice Sunday!

What model of gunny is it ?

It’s the “pebble tan” strap

Thus is just beautifully done. Given some of these shots, I'm not sure that any of you would been willing to part ways with your VSF1074 just yet, but if you have fallen out of love, its just not a perfect wrist fit or you just need the funds, do let me know..

I would treat it like my first born....... Better......actually better.

FYI only VSF is using inferior bronze-or bronze / steel mix on this release. Ie this will not age or patina like GEN or earlier VSF 47mm models.
