Other than OOR status, do you really like the watch very much?
Well, I went for it. Key factors being:
1. Tobacco Dial
2. Titanium (find the steel Pams a bit too heavy)
3. Black coloured hands (Love it, as I have seen the steel hands oxidise in the past but this happened mainly to Submersibles)
4. Screwed lugs rather than the newer button ones which I have heard can get stuck
5. Beautiful original croco strap with titanium buckle
6. Cushion case (prefer this to the newer 1950 cases which are too big for small wrists)
7. Seconds subdial with COSC certification (not that it really matters that much but it's good to know Panerai went a step ahead to certify this)
8. Brushed case (much better look and feel, less scratches can be seen)
What's not to like? Coupled with it being OOR, that's a nice touch to have. Basically, it's the perfect Pam for me. Only downside is no date but I can live with that.
