NEW ARRIVAL: Panerai Luminor Marina PAM 563

Brian H. June 25, 2016

My latest arrival is from the brand that started this entire watch craze for me, Officine Panerai.  But before we get into more details, I would like to thank my awesome wife (Instagram @wifeofawis) for this incredibly thoughtful gift.  For many years, I have wanted to add a white dial Panerai to my collection and this new PAM 563 is just perfect.

That familiar cardboard box...

Back in 2011, I gave my wife a PAM 113 as a gift to celebrate our first wedding anniversary... her reaction to the gift was priceless, by far one of the best reactions I have ever received from her.  The PAM 113 was, and still is (in my opinion), the perfect Panerai for her... the clean and crisp white dial is just amazing.

PAM 563

PAM 563

As my Panerai collection evolved, the only thing that remained consistent was that they were all black dials and non-chrono.  Naturally, I always felt that I needed a white dial and/or a chronograph.  But as time passed I started adventuring with other brands and this void was never filled... until my wife surprised me with my very own PAM 563 earlier this month!

Why is this particular model extra special to me?

  1. My wife picked this model by herself without any input from me and I love her pick!
  2. It is the twin watch of the PAM 113 which I gifted her 5 years ago... so we can now be matching :-). 
  3. It is my first Panerai since 2012.
The white dial looks fantastic on the wrist!

The Batman and some paella.
Yayoi Kusama, “With All My Love For The Tulips, I Pray Forever (2011)”.
I’ve always been a fan of white dial PAMs... but this Sly Tech is extra 🔥🔥🔥.
How is this for an All-Star lineup? From left to right: 911, 195, 5218-202/A, and 5218-207/A.
Case back on the badass Slytech 5218-207/A with Sylvester Stallone’s signature.
Two pre-V beauties you don’t get to see that often. The 5218-202/A on the left and the 5218-207/A on the right. You can check them out in the flesh at the La Jolla Panerai Boutique! Huge thanks to @kiril_official and @thegrailwatch for their hospitality and knowledge on the brand! If you want to see amazing pieces and learn even more about Panerai, this is THE Panerai Boutique to visit. The knowledge at this boutique is incredible!
Can’t believe this beauty was released almost 9 years ago! Can’t wait to see what Rolex has in store for us this year.
A family that Pontos together stays together. @mauricelacroix
Can’t believe that the year is almost over! This year I was definitely less active on IG than previous years... hopefully that changes next year! Best part of winter? Wrist shots with gray sweaters/hoodies! Not sure what it is about the gray but it always looks great!
Christmas came early this year! Can’t wait to try on this new Vulcan rubber strap @vulcanwatchstraps on my Batman! Stay tuned for a full strap review coming soon on www.lifeofawis.com! Find out how this new brand compares to Rubber B and Everest Bands!
Iconic.
🚨 NOW LIVE! 🚨. The exclusive Life of a WIS interview series continues with Lee Scott, Founder of Vulcan Watch Straps @vulcanwatchstraps. Find out what makes them different from Rubber B and Everest Bands at www.lifeofawis.com or link on my profile 👆🏼.
We love the GMT in our family...
Camouflage and the 911.
Twinning with the wife @wifeofawis today 👫.
