It's great..
Jul 03, 2009,11:05 AM
I bought it about two years ago. It's the coolest thing.. All days of the week are black, but SATURDAY is blue and SUNDAY is red. How awesome is that ?! Okay -- perhaps I am easily entertained

Great combination of colors on that dial

There have been some really attractive vintage examples shown in photos on this site. Your watch is certainly one of those. Cheers, Daos

I don't often see Panerais on bracelets, so it's a nice change of pace! Cheers, Daos
Oooh, I love this watch!
By: dxboon : July 3rd, 2009-11:52
PAM 36? Tobacco dials are my favorite! It goes perfectly with your strap choice. Sometimes, I think I need to buy a Panerai just so I can accessorize it with straps. I suppose that's not surprising, as women are notorious when it comes to collecting acces...
And You helped France to get our Freedom
By: amanico : July 3rd, 2009-13:17
In a very bad era for us... Back to the watch, yes, this is the infamous Pam 36, the only Titanium / Brown Dial / Tritium indexes. A Cult watch for every Panerai Lover... And proud to still own it. Yes, playing with straps on Pannies is great but I guess ...
Thanks,Emilio
By: amanico : July 3rd, 2009-13:36
I don't wear it very often, but each time I do is a great pleasure. Yes, I agree...One of the nicest Pannies! Best, Nicolas
Thanks, Richard

Yes, I should make my first trip to USA ( !!! ) quite soon... And meet you all! Have a great day, today. Best, Nicolas

Nicolas, i believe they still have some from the last issue, but if not there will be another release in March/april. if you change straps as i expect you will, go for a 22/22 as you can use the original buckle on the new strap. while the tennis is on i m...
Agreed, Graham
By: amanico : July 3rd, 2009-10:14
Surprisingly, you have a wide choice of straps which work on this watch. Still, I think that a simple strap, as the first you posted, works better on this watch, as to enhance its very strong personality, IMO.... Best, my lucky friend. Nicolas

Hi Everyone... I will be wearing my Longines this weekend , I added a vintage style mesh band, ends are spring loaded from 17.5 mm to 22 mm, the band is 17.5. For the summer it is very comfortable as opposed to the OEM band. But getting back to the photo....
Two is better than one!

Very elegant, my friend. Can't wait for the pic of the 2 monopushers side by side, when you get it back from service... Best, Nicolas
Great photo, Geo!
By: dxboon : July 3rd, 2009-12:49
You've captured the beauty of the blued hands very nicely. What a skyline. If this were the view from my office I don't think I'd be quite as productive! Cheers, Daos

I always enjoy these Omegas. Your shirt looks very handsome as well (from what I can see of the sleeve!). Cheers, Daos
Very fancy!

Elegant, indeed! HAGWE! Cheers, Daos
Great watch, Ryan

There is always someone to remind me this one... Strange! With the Nato, the Combo is perfect, IMO. The only problem of this watch is that, while the case looks bigger and thicker, the size of the bracelet didn't move, which looks strange, but with the Na...

I'm in the midst of preparing a review . . .
By: Dr No : July 3rd, 2009-11:31
. . . but I'll share one tidbit now: the end-of-month change from June 30th to July 1st took place in the space of time between focusing on the watch and pushing the start button - I missed the changeover by a second! Cordially, Art
Fun!
By: dxboon : July 3rd, 2009-11:07
Having the day off is fun, but having friends to share it with is even better! That AT looks good on your wrist. Enjoy your weekend! Daos
