Oh interesting. Will consider if I ever buy back the watch again. I’m now in and out of the integrated bracelet phase. There is one watch I want to get that has that look but it will steal my other watch money so idk. It’s a Baumé et Mercier Clifton. Only reason I’m not considering it seriously because I don’t know how often I’ll wear it. I love the watch, I’ve seen it in person as I work with this brand, but to me it’s a party watch, not a daily wearer. For that reason that’s why I’m reluctant to pull the trigger.
I was thinking about it, which is why I bought this exact variant. The indices for this is blacked out but still has lume pips on the end compared to yours. The other resin variant has full like across the indices, but I decided not to build it because it was just too large on my wrist. The CasiOak mod would be 45mm+ in diameter, far too chunky for my 6.4 inch wrist.
Most likely you got to find second hand market if you’re interested. Most PANERAI watches from what I’ve heard weren’t produced and sold in large quantity, which makes sense. They are quite a hefty change and is a more acquired taste compared to brands like Omega, Rolex, IWC etc.
I like the PAM1048 and the PAM512
I would call it a summer time watch. Which is quite true because I bought it at spring and sold it during fall. Loved the watch, but I think I preferred the industrial look of the GM5600 for me. I think if I’ve gotten the GM2100 variants I may have kept it, really liked the blue metal variant
Formex Essence 39 is one of the strongest contenders of watches I want to buy but I’m too scared to. I know I’ll love it when I wear it, but I haven’t bring myself the courage to part ways with my PRX, and the fear I may not be able to resell it. If those concerns doesn’t bothered you, buy it. The other watch running for the same category as that is the Baumé et Mercier Riveria 39mm. Price point is almost doubled but it’s a beautiful integrated bracelet watch, though for me it’ll be much cheaper because I work sell Baumé and I can get staff discount 😊
