no, you're good, welcome aboard

there's a lot of info around about the various pams

best bet is to go to the panerai section and read through the sticky messages at the top.. theres some really good info in there

the 292 isn't quite there yet, but the latest one is starting to look a bit closer..

did you get tracking when you returned your pam? if so, your dealer should be able to work with you on that... if no tracking, at least you'll know for next time.

if you are really anal retentive, the 111 sandwich dial pams are not your best bet.. they are pretty flawed, despite being beautiful watches all the same.

a nice sausage dial is a lot closer to genuine.

they tend to be fairly reliable, unless you are sent a crap one...

movements for these are also cheap, so replacement of a movement will cost you like 40-50 bucks plus labor if you cant do it yourself
