I'm taking one for the team by posting this. I want to make it clear that PAMS STILL LOOK LIKE FISHER PRICE'S MY FIRST WATCH!

And you did take one for the team! I know you hate these watches. Your courage to reach in and take one for the team reminds me of the time Pee Wee went back in to grab those snakes.

Don't worry Sean, most of us started with Pams by getting "out of the closet"...it takes time, transition to the dark side is long, we're willing to offer you a helping hand on your journey of Panerai discovery - LOL!

When it comes to Pams...there are basicaly 3 categories of people:

- the ones that get "it" straight away (read: weird people with no life at all) :shock:
- the ones that take some time getting warmed up and used to it (most of us) :oops:
- and the sorry folk that unfortunately never get it :lol:

enjoy your journey brother... :wink:

P.S. IMO the new angular bracelet design is out of sync with the rest of the watch, it reminds me of Seiko Italian chrono bracelet. Not good, sorry...the original design has so much going for it, and shouldn't have been changed at all.

I don't care for the new bracelet at all.

I'll take a 310, though... nicest 40mm chrono Panerai has made yet. Wish they would make a small Regatta.

Not really a fan of the old bracelet, so I absolutely can't stand the new iteration. It looks like someone adapted the bracelet from my Seiko Monster to fit a PAM, honestly. I'm not knocking the Seiko bracelet at all, it's worth the total price of the watch, IMO (well it would be if it had screws instead of pins/collars, but I digress...). The design just doesn't "belong" on a Panerai.

Way to go, Richemont. Is there anything you can't fuck up? :roll:
