The thickness is really it's only fault. If the thickness was 12.5 or so, these would fly off the shelves. That's why everyone mentions it.

Also, and this is more of a personal preference, I am a huge fan of having date. With Panerai, I think the models with dates don't look as good. The classic luminor marina checks all my boxes. So I sacrificed usability due to aesthetics.

If I had to have one watch, it would have a date function. Something to think about.

No issues on user experience. I wish it had a display case back but that did not keep me from buying.

Mine happens to have hacking although I've heard some don't? Accuracy has been fine, between +2 to +6. It has more variance than my pelagos which keeps a very steady +2.

For what's it's worth, I got a PAM00915 this year and it's been awesome. Would I take a hit if I decided to sell, yes. But it really is that way for everything but Rolex.

I do not have any plans to sell though.

I tried to listen a few times. Feels like an impromptu hangout, a few guys who know each other through other contacts. Every podcast is like their first meeting and everyone is awkward obnoxious.
