I do like a Panerai and am hankering after another. I sold my 210 Radiomir years ago and have never bought another.
I'm now really drawn to the 779 with the Bund strap. I like the California dial and the fact there is no script on the dial at all.
It feels like a watch that would fly under the radar a bit. Unusual I know for a Panerai but I am taken by it.
I'm not a flipper, my BLNR has been my daily since purchase years ago, so I don't care about taking a bath if I sell the Panerai. I tend to want to be sure about what I buy before I buy!
Thing is, there are a lot of pages in this thread but I see no mention of the 779.
What, if any, opinion is there generally about this watch?
Cheers
I’ve had a hankering for a Panerai for a while, I’m a sucker for a blue dial and was close a couple of times, but had my eye on the 1055 having seen it on SC for a crazy price and not moving in it when I should have.
Anyway, roll forward 12 months or so and I saw two up for sale with Watchfinder, both quite a bit above RRP, flipped them a Bremont Hercules for a good price and along comes my first Panerai, extended the warranty to 8 years and first impressions are very good. Love the colour, comfortable in the wrist and built like a tank!

Just picked this up, boutique only 42mm bronze with blue dial. I think it looks great.
They just keep coming in this thread... Pams having a resurgence

Rather than post on the sunshine thread I thought these would be better appreciated here. Catching the rays on my desk as the working week is coming to a close...
Well it's only taken me 12 years to join the club, so I may as well join in (thanks for the deal Fred!)
Apparently leaked new releases for July. The blue sub looks lovely https://youtu.be/dufxFJsak4c

Be better if it weren’t 42mm

Deep down we all know 42mm is the correct size with most of the 44 & 47mm too big

Seriously adore the white dial submersible, but why only 42mm??

Conversely my only white dial PAM, my 40mm 49.

I'm currently on the hunt for my first Pam (I've been looking for 10 years now so it really is time) and this thread is great as it's pretty difficult to know where to start. Keep them coming

There's just too many numbers for me to get my head round :)
If I wanted a cheep (relative I know) first 'classic' Pam with as many of the following as I could get what would you recommend?
Luminor
44mm
Sandwich dial
Date
That looks amazing!
