I agree we should stay away from anything PAM for sure. We don't want the site to get pigeonholed into people thinking that's all we represent.

We are trying to get new members and grow so something generic that represents all styles is important. That may mean just the 'HF' letters and a watch movement or maybe a loop or staking set. Something that represents building watches.

I do love the PAM CG logo, maybe we could replace the CG with the side of a watch case, something generic.

My .02.

I dont think panerai should be avoided, vintage panerai was essencially the birthplace of the modern wristwatch. It was after all the first real diving watch and an all around inovation powerhouse. It's significance goes beyond the brand, especially since the vintage panerai was essentially just a heavily modified Rolex. I personally despise modern panerai and definitly have no love for the OP logo with the arrows. To me it signifies the begginning of the sell out era. I would be happy to see the old HF logo put to rest but boycotting Panerai symbolism altogether I disagree with. I'm not sure that any of the other popular homage watches would even exist without panerai's influence.

Sorry to rant, but if we are truly stewards of this wonderfully rich history we should do our best to honor it not sensor it.

2 liner.


Fill the engravings, then we can digitize it with all the glorious imperfections and enlarge it.

Would look really cool on a black t-shirt.
This is a cool idea!
