We'll see what it is like when I get mine. Maybe I'll shell out the $150. I am a sucker for lume. Check out my Batman
Actually I am too. I wanted to do all sorts of crazy things with lime before Panerai announced all these new designs.

I have a few MN straps and they all have the lumed centerline too. I just have to get some in 24 though because I also think they'll work great with this case shape/design.

Despite somewhat funny look, it does tell the time and keep you focused on time reading. Still my everyday beater :)

Dude, not only does it tell the time - and I've been posting pics on the sort of subtle details of this model. The shades of grey you see in the dial and to me, the way the hands look to almost float.

I makes me think (if these are gen like features) that this model was intended to be loud.

But I look at the dial and it turns grey or silver or white or purple even and the hands stay a super bold black thay make the hands look like they're floating over the dial. It's awesome.

It makes me think it was done intentionally (especially if it's a gen feature) just to make it very very very very readable.

When I look at the dial and see those hands, they almost look like they're enhanced visually by a computer just so it makes it that much easier to see.

I don't know. Just something I've been noticing and thinking about.

See in the pics how bold the hands look. I think it's meant to be super readable.

Can someone post a strap Shopify pic? For whatever reason, I can’t see it!

I just put it in the nb strap. Not too far off from the one thst came off of it and it's extremely comfortable.

It's a 26 so it bunches at the lugs a little.

Anyone else order this? Puretime said back ordered
Hi! Back in the rep game.. ordered too.. still in backorder?
I know it sucks but you just have to wait

I think what they do is wait for a run and make x many watches.

When those sell out, they run it again. I know it's hard to wait but they will get to it and you'll get QC pics.

Just received mine and it is nice. But two things the glass seems so flat as compared the my other Pams that are domed. And the lume on the strap sucks. But I brought a lumed leather one.


And the "date change" at 11:50. Which drives me crazy, the last two watch I have gotten from Puretime are like that. I even asked them specifically to check this before shipping.

I feel like the power reserve on this watch is a little short. Anyone else notice that?

I find that the time is off after 24 hours of winding/ inactivity.

Maybe I do not wind it enough?

Maybe I do not wind it enough? Or maybe it needs a servicing?
