Panerai Luminor Marina Automatic PAM104 Review

I always wanted a PAM since I heard of Panerai. For me the PAM104 is my personal base pam (although the PAM000, PAM112, PAM114, PAM176 and PAM 219 are the official base pams with just 2 hands and no other functions like a subdial or date). The PAM104 has a totally polished case. So not only the bezel is polished (like the PAM 1950 models).

+ Very shiny and polished steel case
+ Clear display, good to read even in the dark, because of luminescent hands and marks
+ The strap changing culture and how easy it is to change the strap
- Heavy but ok for that size (44 mm)
- Not the famous Panerai sandwich dial
- You can feel and even hear the rotor of the automatic movement, if you move your hand fast



The real carbon strap was not included. I bought it later and it is my favorite one for this watch.
