5070 and the p

 
 By: mori-tower : August 28th, 2008-06:25
the above watch has been released by pp in the three colour versions of gold. my question is this, if you are fortunate enough to have one of these, would you consider purchasing the 5070p (the lucky selected ones of course) and why? it is apparently the ...

almost every Panerai Luminor or Radiomir looks the same and some of us have a dozen of those I must sound boring after repeating this a zillion times but the 5070 is for me the most beautifull watch on the planet. I had several other watches and styles go...

When you say it's the most beautiful watch on the planet, I can only imagine that's how you feel when you look at its dial. When I look at its display back, I see a movement that looks just too small for the case. Movements like the one in the 5070 were m...

if it has not to do with the watch as you have suggested, then they are not collectors but merely hoaders. watches in my opinion are not cars to show off, they are personal gratifications and perhaps only those in the know will recognise a minute repeater... 

5070P

 
 By: jonrus : August 28th, 2008-20:25
it's the "holy grail" watch for the PP collector... I don't think there are too many WIS out there who can just show the watch at a whim... that's what makes it special..
