Panerai 2026 preview event

I was recently invited to a 2026 new models preview event by my AD and had a wonderful experience looking at soon to be released Panerais!

I can’t really discuss specific models or share info on them since I signed a NDA before the event, yet I would like to say some of them are quite a beauty!

My AD noted me they will be released around august! So stay tuned my fellow paneristis!

Here is a photo of my pam682 I am wearing today

Submersible bezel keychain

I made a keychain for my watch bag/ back pack with my leftover pam682 bezel. The story is quite wild. My pam682 originally went in for service for a damaged bezel (knocked it and lost it outdoors) , and had it replaced. Searching for weeks where I lost my original bezel, I was able to find it weeks later. I am happy to keep my watches heritage as a part of an everyday object, a keychain in my situation.

The keychain is made of faux alligator leather, hand stitched.

Question for Panerai owners.

Hi. I'm kinda new to watches in general. I have a few sub 500$ citizen watches I like and I'm thinking of saving for a over 1000$ watch. I'm drawn to Panerai because they look very unique compared to other watches. My question is, Are the retailers difficult to deal with if you're not obviously wealthy? Say I walk in lookin' like the working class joe that I am after saving a few months to a year for a really nice time peice, would they let me put my money on the table and walk out with a watch or would I be given a waitlist and a promised a call and get told that they have somthing I don't want?

PAM 1662

My boss wore his 3D laser printed Titanium “Ghost” to the Company 4th of July Clay Shoot. Me seeing this watch and trying it on changed my perspective. I always loved the style but had no idea how well it would wear on my wrist. I’ve got some saving up to do👍🏿🦅🇺🇸🫡

My Quaranta - 3 yrs of love

Just joined the community. I’ve got this watch as a present in a very special moment, as appreciation of something i did.

Just found out recently how to change the buckle, until now i didn’t know how to use my brown leather strap. So i’m looking for opp to wear the brown leather strap now.

What is your experience on Chrono 24?

I’m thinking about buying my first pre-owned Panerai, and I’ve been looking at dealers on Chrono24, including a few overseas sellers. I normally prefer buying new, but some of the discounts on older references are really tempting.

For those of you who’ve bought from Chrono24 before, especially from international dealers:

- What should I be looking for before pulling the trigger?

- Are there any red flags or things I should avoid?

- How much confidence do you put in dealer ratings and reviews?

- Is buying overseas worth the savings, or are there hidden risks that first-time buyers often overlook?

Considering a Pam01526

This would be an everyday watch…beach walks, travel, etc. I have 6.7” wrists so the 40mm size appeals. Anyone have one and how do they like?

Any good aftermarket buckles? + my fully serviced submersible 682

I’m in search for a good quality buckle for my aftermarket leather straps. Does anyone have some recommendations? Oem ones seem a little bit stiff on their pricing haha.

Below is my Pam682 I received today from servicing! Full service, bezel replaced, and freshly polished from the AD service center

I’m in love with the PAM289 and PAM576

I think this will be my next PAM but I was wondering, which one would you go for?
Do you like the high polished rose gold case and flat sapphire crystal on the 576 or the domed crystal with the brushed rose gold of the 289? Can’t wait to hear your thoughts

Need a new rubber strap needed 👍

So just bought a Pam 93 (waiting on it to arrive) and want to replace the Orange rubber w a dark navy or black one. Needs to be long enough for my 8-1/4" wrist and doesn't have to be OE Pam.. but nice quality preferred. I have several custom leather straps already, but looking for the best sources for rubber. Would love some recommendations.

Thanks.

Edited to say.. all the OE Pam straps I can find online in Navy are Standard length which I feel might be too short 😕👎
