PANERAI - PAM 338 M Radiomir TI/LE P 999.1 - Mini review

Recommended Posts

Harkin Banks

I haven't seen this one reviewed so I thought I would post some pics. I received this one from MR yesterday and really like it. I had a PAM 441 and found it too big and bulky. I like most of my watches to be able to fit under a dress shirt. This one fits nicely and can be worn on the weekends as well. Very nice quality from KW factory. I am no expert, but the obvious tell on the back is the "stainless steel" instead of "titanium". Even with that, I am a happy camper. My one, and likely only, PAM.

 

Here are the specs and some pics, sorry for the horrible glare in my office, and the fingerprints!

Great watch. The only thing that matters is if you like it or not... and since you do, great pick! Movement decorations look interesting.. never seen them like that before.

Thanks guys. After wearing this for a few days I can honestly say it might be the best rep I have purchased. The 42mm is perfect for my smaller wrist and the strap has broken in very easily. I always loved the Pam style but they were too big for me. This one is amazing. Some may not like the gold hands but I think it gives a little more depth to the watch and a little vintage flair.

I was pretty pleased not to see any blue screws! And the power reserve is really nice with the manual wind.
