PAM 177L with metal bracelet?

[__iceman__]

I remember seeing a pic that there is an option to order a 177 with metal bracelet - I have one on order now with Lay.

Question is that if I order this, is it a full titanium bracelet? It would be hugely appealing if the answer is yes!

If the answer is no, then it means it will be stainless steel? Won't there be a colour mismatch then?

no and no.

no steel bracelet option for the 177l.
177 is titanium, there is no currently made rep titanium bracelet.
(well any dealer would probably give you a bracelet if you wanted one...)

gen doesn't come on one anyways.

it would be a pretty huge color mismatch.

Thanks! And Lay has also been extremely communicative on this watch and he's a great dealer... just got news that my watch will be in within 24 hrs in his hands so he can start the QC for me.

2 more questions - sorry because I am new to Pam reps... hope someone can help...

1. 177 vs 177L - what's the diff? I assume I ordered the 177L?
2. Is the case really full titanium? Not just surface plating right?

1. The 'L' refers the serial. L serials were manufactured during 2009. There were a few 177s released prior to this latest 177L; the 177F and 177H which are both inferior reps to the 177L. So when someone writes 177L we know exactly what rep model they are referring to.

2. The case is solid titanium with a colour that matches the gen.

Enjoy your watch OP. It is beautiful and the lume is mesmerising.

Im just quoting this, not going from experience I only just found this searching, this store claims their brushed 316ss bracelet is specially designed to be worn on Ti Panerai cases.

"Here is the very best aftermarket 24mm all brushed stainless steel bracelet for Panerai 44mm watches. As we know, Titanium is a very popular Panerai case. For quite some time, We have intended to offer a low cost solution to convert your Titanium Panerai with leather band to a complete metal piece. The wait is over and the time has come! By using one of our all brushed satin finish bracelets, you now have a perfect complement for titanium watches. It also looks great on polished cases too."

I have no idea how it will look in the same lighting, photo, whatever conditions someone possibly the OP will have to bite the bullet if he desperately wants to try and get a 177 on a matching metal bracelet.

Thanks for the lead! Hmmm, I don't see how this will match the colour, it may be a nice complement to the SS case, not sure if a 2 tone metal would look weird also.

Just that over the weekend I held a full titanium watch with a matching Ti bracelet and I can see how much of a workhorse it could be in terms of feel and scratch resistance.

I'd hold out for a Ti bracelet. The color difference would be too much for me.

I have one of those fully brushed satin ss 316(but mine is F, which is superior to L here)
bracelets. never thought of putting it on the 177... but when I get my 177 back
in a day or two I'll do just that and report back on the color matching.
