detials of Panerai PAM90 on The Block
Most of these photos taken with the shows in the box, because I took these photos to sell the watch! While I want to sell, I do not think I would be broken if I ended up keeping either! The watch comes with the usual change screwdriver and strap tool. This is a series of J, of 2008. It is not the quick change strap bars, not the screw type, which are much less desirable in my opinion. These pods for the spring are the best. As with most polished PAM, the protector of the Crown is polished, but the lever is brushed. I don't know why they do this way, but it is the way they. As it is a newer model, the lever has the wheel little on it. All the nice little refinements Panerai worked in models.
