wow hanz079 u have expensive taste for a first pam

yes, i heard from hobbit that this model has been discontinued but it still appears on the latest August/September 2011 price list. i wonder why. maybe panerai is just lazy to edit it out.
anyway there are no replacements that i know of yet, but hey, the SIHH is round the corner and who knows what will pop up.
btw, have u tried on a 183 or 210? at 45mm, it's not that much bigger becos of the cushion case thickness.
and a lot easier to find, and priced very well too.
may i know how big is ur wrist? (or how small).
the thing with pams is, it's a big watch, u got to accept that.
size afterall is a perception. first time, it's huge, then it's big, afterall, it's OK, later on, it becomes just nice. LOL (at least for me).
simple example:
a member here recently asked about opinions about a pam 40mm and i advised him against.
but the pam did sing to him and he bought it. not long later (a month or so), he finds it too small and now gunning for a 44mm.
this story has been told a thousand times, and if u go to the main pam site, u will know this.
