The Appeal of Panerai - PAM01312 Review

it has that relaxed elegance, and great durability. you can wear it everyday without worrying about scratching it up, and it's just so stylish!

Great Video Bruce!!

Just bought a Panerai luminor marina 00510 8 days and it’s amazing. Once you have one of these on wrist your hooked. Different than anything else but done at a high level

One of the more thorough, interesting and genuinely informative and balanced reviews out there. Nice job! I'm going to watch more of your stuff.

I wonder if you can change the dial and hands to a 2021 non-ecru update version? Also a silver/steel seconds hand as well. Since 2020 the 1312 comes with a closed case back and the movement is not decorated.

great video, I own four the lumior 3 day gmt, radiomir black seal, radiomir california and the bmg tech sub 47mm love them all.

How does your model have a clear caseback and beige letters? Looks like the 1312 model has a steel caseback and green letters when I look on the website.

ugly watch.

Never seen a paneri in person, but from the pics and videos, it just doesn’t appeal to me.

Did the watch community attack this movement when it came out, like they have with Tudor’s in-house movements? It seems similar ethos, of being modern/simple, without embellishing.

That's really nice. Suits you Bruce

Can anyone speak to modern-day Panerai’s in-house accuracy?

I like coming back to your reviews on Panerai as I work up towards my PAM01086. I like your comments on the lack of minute track, because ultimately you're right: it's not important. Heck, the 1086 doesn't even have a second hand or date. I love that... why do I really need those?

It took me 14 years of watch collecting to come around to Panerai. Picked up a Luminor 773 last week and already can't wait to add a Radiomir.

I have small wrists but enjoy 3 Pam. However 44mm is the maximum for me.

Love the watch not a fan of the blue second hand.

I think the new Panerai are only water resistant to 30m. 100ft. That’s pitiful.

Is the PAM 01312 made with a display or a solid back case?

Is definitely a unique watch! But best bought in secondary market not worth buying in retail as it depreciate alot if you are really interested in panerai

Brand holds it value? WTF is he talking about? You lose 30% as you walk out the door! If you purchase a $20k+ panerai, the market is exceedingly thin.....and this coming from a 2 panerai watch owner.

Panerai luminor marina specchio blu 44mm is my favourite panerai. Love how it looks on a bracelet.

Proudly owned by Richmond, South Africa, beautiful brand, not surprising as they originate from Florence, Italy the most beautiful city in the world

Just ordered one! Thanks for the video, it persuaded me :)

I can only afford 10 year old 312..😁

Panerai ain’t a Rolex, ladies. It has b-lls

Great review!

Would have been nice if the second hand was heat blued.

This case design is their best! Absolute mastery of the iconic cushion case template. Other Luminor cases are similar, but something about the proportions, creases, and curves of this specific model are simply stunning.

Love how macro of camera

Price ? How much? ...$

Are you kidding? Panerai hasn’t had any appeal since around 9/11! The watch lost all credibility due to the horrible quality control and line workers and distributors in cahoots w organized crime and selling fakes instead of real watches.

This PAM has P.9010 calibre having hour jumping capability, being useful when changing time zone. Anyway, can anyone tell me whether P.4000 (22k micro-rotor) have such the jumping hour function?

Amazing time piece

I am a Paneristi and I love the Luminor.

Panerai looks great, an excellent watch with history and uniqueness.

I like it better than the ones with the magnifier but I prefer the no date like the Pam111.

Hi Bruce, what do you think about Gruppo Gamma and their watches?

I like big watches very much. While I agree with you that Panerai wears somewhat smaller, sorry, but it like like a clock on you.

I'm surprised you're not a Paneristi... your wrist, active lifestyle, and watch interests make you an ideal Panerai guy. I wish you showed this brand more on your channel... and not watches from Cartier, Hublot, or JLC. The brands that have the most loyal followers/collectors seem to be Rolex, Patek, Seiko, and Panerai. Great, popular brands like Omega, Breitling, IWC, Zenith, Tudor don't have the same level of loyalty.

Pretty sure the hands are white gold on these so they can’t heat blue them.

Was offered a trade for a PAM312 (full set, OEM straps) for my Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra (master coaxial). Kind of torn to be honest. I like the PAM a lot, fits my lifestyle of outdoor spots and traveling a bit better. My concern is that I wear suits to work, wondering its just too big for that. I'm a one-watch guy, because I can't afford service costs of multiple watches. Any advice is welcome.

Great video! I know the PAM1312 comes with an aligator strap. Is the one in the video an Panerai original?

Best buy if you like to make it an understatement. Wearing Panerai's since 2005 and and will never stop looking at the sheer simplicity and timeless design. As rightfully mentioned, they are intended to be worn. Selecting a Saphire Glass might save you from some scratches as opposed to the composite (plexy type) glass. Scratches on case etc add that little extra history in my opinion and age and charm is a nice thing to have. Keep a very good value as well.

Just got my PAM 1312 yesterday! beautiful watch, but one thing that keep bugging me in, it always died after 1 day, after manually winding it for 25x, is it normal? how many times should I wind it to get full capacity of its power reserve?

The Panerai is one of the thickest watches on the market

For half the retail price it would be a fair proposition. But the sticker price is an insult.

For a tool watch I like the fine brushed look on the movement. I can work with cotes de geneve but perlage is a big nope.

I already in love with panerai watch, before i knew it brand. Only because of the shape. And Last Christmas is the first time i buy my first panerai BY my own🤣 it was panerai luminor marina carbotech😍 next target is Submersible 47mm carbotech 😁 nice to know you all😁
