PAM372 and PAM127 Here are some pics that I have taken for the PAM372 and PAM127. They are 2 of the most beautiful watch released by Panerai, IMO. Both are unique in their ways...:) PAM127 (left) and PAM372 (without flash) : PAM127PAM372front.jpg mod_embed_images_loadimage('41eb9a2919eaca14361ea111b086bb42', 'http://revo-online.com/forums/main/addon.php?17,module=embed_images,url=http%3A%2F%2Fi639.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fuu114%2Fchuaks%2FPAM127PAM372front.jpg', 'http://i639.photobucket.com/albums/uu114/chuaks/PAM127PAM372front.jpg', 'http://revo-online.com/forums/main/addon.php?17,module=embed_images,check_scaling=1,url=http%3A%2F%2Fi639.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fuu114%2Fchuaks%2FPAM127PAM372front.jpg', '', 1006945, 1300, 3000, 'Loading image ...', false); PAM127 (left) and PAM372 (with flash) : PAM127PAM372frontwithflash.jpg mod_embed_images_loadimage('db8bc3ceabb17a74e13eaa876433aa05', 'http://revo-online.com/forums/main/addon.php?17,module=embed_images,url=http%3A%2F%2Fi639.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fuu114%2Fchuaks%2FPAM127PAM372frontwithflash.jpg', 'http://i639.photobucket.com/albums/uu114/chuaks/PAM127PAM372frontwithflash.jpg', 'http://revo-online.com/forums/main/addon.php?17,module=embed_images,check_scaling=1,url=http%3A%2F%2Fi639.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fuu114%2Fchuaks%2FPAM127PAM372frontwithflash.jpg', '', 1006945, 1300, 3000, 'Loading image ...', false); PAM372 : PAM372front.jpg mod_embed_images_loadimage('411a98ecbc90b1587de9f8a1c6c2f106', 'http://revo-online.com/forums/main/addon.php?17,module=embed_images,url=http%3A%2F%2Fi639.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fuu114%2Fchuaks%2FPAM372front.jpg', 'http://i639.photobucket.com/albums/uu114/chuaks/PAM372front.jpg', 'http://revo-online.com/forums/main/addon.php?17,module=embed_images,check_scaling=1,url=http%3A%2F%2Fi639.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fuu114%2Fchuaks%2FPAM372front.jpg', '', 1006945, 1300, 3000, 'Loading image ...', false); Close-up of PAM372.

Interesting that Panerai dropped this idea.
Cool watches, both of them.

The sapphire crystal in PAM127 starts to curve almost immediately at the edges.
3) The idea of the sapphire crystal in PAM127 is to mimic the look of a plexi, which resulted in distortion at the edges. You can see the distortion in PAM127 in the pics above.

Hope this helps to explain the differences.:)

You understand that I have not had the 372 in my hands yet.
