I just got this watch together. Bought it from a member on another board, and the Panatime strap from another member here. I wore it last week out of town on business and received two unsolicited compliments! It really does look good on the wrist for all the "wrong" things it has going on. So far from what I have learned about PAM's, it needs CG mod, Ti crown, cannon pin, lume, and movement work to make it just a little closer to genlike. I'd like to find a decent swiss movement for it also, the macro shots of this movement are borderline embarrassing. This is my first "real" rep, what do you think?

To a real noob like me that looks mint (but I know nothing so.... :D ) Really nice looking watch. Wanted the Ti version myself but went for the Pam111h as my first Panerai (albeit pseudo).

Re macro shots, its like if you scrutinise myh UPO, you can see the downfalls, but if you look at it as a 'memeber of the pubilc' i.e. at a 5 second glance, you are never gonna spot the little innacuracies IMO.

Nothing "Humble" at all about that watch!!....Nice clean looking Pam...My advice is to wear it....and don't worry about the minor flaws.....It'll NEVER be absolutely perfect, so why fret...???...The Strap adds 1000% to the overall look, and only you, me, and maybe another .0001% of the population will even suspect it ain't perfect!!...Nice watch...wear it well, and ENJOY!! :D :D

Thanks guys! I bought the Panatime strap here, and am having another strap built to my specs. I'll probably hold off on the other mods for now, but would like a good lume job, as lume is currently non existent. I want another PAM already! I love these things.
