Or am I reading it wrong?

I confused about the AM/PM indicator but now I feel like I’m missing something obvious 😁

As I understand it, the AM/PM indicator is essentially the 24-hour indicator for remote time, with the arrowhead hand a 12-hour indicator for remote time.

This watch has a 12-hour "GMT" hour hand showing the home time. In the picture, it is 2:23 (am or pm, can't tell) in the local time zone, and 7:23 am at home.

Guessing this is the right answer? Not the most intuitive dial design, IMO, though it’s a pretty one.

OK but there are 5 hands...

sub-dial is 24 hour time and?
The main dial is Hour, Minute, and?

Every answer has assumed 4 hands... There are 5 hands...

I’m sure it comes with an instruction manual.
I love that color.

Running seconds on sub-dial

Essentially the same dial setup as a cal.910 Flightmaster (12hr GMT hand with AM/PM indicator), except fixing the cal.910’s fatal flaw (adding a running seconds)

What triggers me more is that Panerai used to make some good affordable watches like the PAM104 based on the ETA 7750 and then they decided to make a lot of in-house movement based watches with questionably useful complications and even more questionable build quality. I thought they’d improved since my mate’s PAM321 was a complete dog that Panerai couldn’t make run after 3 services but then a bloke I worked with used his Amex platinum card service to effectively lemon-law his that was similar to this after it spent more time in for repairs than on his wrist.

It’s not that often that in this modern age you see watches with in-house movements that repeatedly need and fail to be fixed from new like that.

I agree 100% on this, I also think that the market will drop out at some point due to perceived oversizeness.

I want the very very simple pam 424 (Non Le California dial which doesn't have the blue hands) its appears to be a giant at 47mm but wears very very nicely due to the thinness. 8k new, 5k on ebay... Earlier ones had a date window (no thank you.)

I figure how hard is it to screw up this movement.
