It does doesn't it.
Also, looks like some nice Panerai freebies thrown in too?
These show the dial quite well. So many facets.

Excellent, many congratulations!!! How do you find the weight and size compared to your other 47mm?New ....just in today !!!

Some serious cool subs there ^^^^^.
Whilst I created a new thread for the purpose, I may as well add a request here. My 979 is crying out for a white camouflage. Any ideas for a quality, Sub friendly one? Thanks.
I’ve got one of those straps,you’ll not struggle for a fitNew ....just in today !!!

Lovely retro vintage vibe with that.

To be honest....at a first look looked smaller.....
I mean...taller but somehow smaller due to the big bezel.
But on a second look....big enough to love :)
Fun fact: been reading about this watch for a while andI couldn't find anywhere what I found in it's manual.
The fact that the watch is titanium but the bezel is SS....and....all the numerals on the bezel and all the markers are made of white gold and riveted somehow on the bezel.
I am mesmerisez also by the buckle.....it is a marvel of engineering.... .just take a look a one of the screws (pic attached) .....the heqd is a screw inside the screw mooving freely but still so secure......well done Panerai ...once again
Totally in love....
Now....only Bronzo will make me reach for the wallet again.....watchwise ...:)

Those straps are genious....
Any chance to know a place to source a back up one (and buckle)?

I'm sure there are more places but I remember 'Ted Su' doing something similar.....https://www.tedsustraps.com/dive-buc...eel-bronze-DLC
obviously not Panerai branded
It’s a serious classic that watch - Panerai were at their most sought after in the 2000s and IMO the reason was because some of their best watches ever were in that era. A lot still can be found (like yours) as prices and hype have cooled.To be honest....at a first look looked smaller.....

Received the aftermarket domed 233 crystal which is the same 37mm size as my flat 560 one.
Hopefully the watchmaker I want to use can fit it, although I have been told new bezel and gaskets may be needed, but not sure which ones.
Here it is placed above the current one. (I like this distorted look).
What do you mean by new bezel?Received the aftermarket domed 233 crystal which is the same 37mm size as my flat 560 one.

Isn't that part of the case?....one piece?
Trimis de pe al meu SM-N975F folosind Tapatalk
As far as I know it's fixed, but not 1 piece to the case, believe removed for servicing.
Gotta love the smurfs Crocs :)

You know what Marius, we've put up with the straps, but that's the final straw. Marius, meet the ignore list.
Great pic that.Gotta love the smurfs Crocs :)

I was actually wondering if I should post it or not but then I said to myself: what the heck...when we will stop being kids in our hearts at all....we might as well call for the hearse to take us away.....we're gone for good.
So....there it is....full of Smurfs.....:) :) :)

I think Papa Hotel is simply threatened by Papa Smurf ;)
I have to confess that I love my crocs. If I didn't have to work or drive I would wear them always, I loathe socks.
On the upside, papahotel does own a cracking PAM

Gutted.
Edit: I can keep it, absolutely adore the thing. +10s in the last 5 weeks by the way, absolutely ridiculous.

New strap on 389. Might add green soon.
Like the blue Alun, not sure about the green tho.
Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
The green can look pretty cool too.
In fact, they’re all pretty damned great.

Say whatever you want but I still think that this is a match(watch) made in heaven :)
Just loving it every time I look at this combo and this is the most important thing...
My 932 and 372 are just waiting for their turns...no chance for now :)
Trimis de pe al meu SM-N975F folosind Tapatalk
The Mrs asked what was the point when it looks so similar to the black. And she does like green, so I still might go for it.
A switch over to a watch that maybe brings the blue out more. Definitely dresses down the 670 from haute horology to diver...

That is boss on the 670.
I tried a green concertina strap on the 243 and it just wasn't for me. We are all different of course.

I really like this 389. Having never owned a Submersible this one ticks all the right boxes for me. Titanium, black ceramic insert, cushion case qr strap change. Be interested in your thoughts on this one in particular?New strap on 389. Might add green soon.
Cheers
The 389 is my favourite Sub. I prefer the ceramic to all metal bezel, both astheticaly and practically. The all metal ones are prone to showing scratches.
I also prefer the 389 to 1389 as I feel the chunk of it and the thicker (from the side) lugs make for a more proportional profile. A 305 would run as my second favourite.
The easy strap change is very helpful and it's amazing just how adaptable the Subs are to various straps. I've worn alligator, rubber and old school leather and think they all work well.

The 389 does look fantastic. I agree with your points above. I prefer the 389 to the 1389 as it’s a thicker case and the seconds hand isn’t blue.
What a great collection of Panerai watches you have.
Agree that submersibles suit just about every type of strap. I would add NATO and canvas as great options for the warmer weather.
