Yes, the PAM reference number is
By: ED209 : June 22nd, 2012-03:58
Hi Sergio, The Radiomir 8 days GMT Oro Rosso 45mm reference number is PAM395. How do you like the looks of the decorated movement? Regards, ED-209 This message has been edited by ED209 on 2012-06-22 04:21:57 ...
I find it very handsom....
By: sergio : June 22nd, 2012-04:05
I found the "translucent" dial really beautiful...less....the fangs, I can't stand. I was raving about it to Anthony (yesterday). In my opinion a "transition" piece of Panerai between...bold military watches....and jewelery. As I wrote, this model would f...
PuristSPro Panerai Beverly Hills Boutique SIHH 2012 Event: Part 2
By: ED209 : June 22nd, 2012-04:56
Dinner was held at the Muse Room (above Scarpetta restaurant) inside the luxurious Montage Hotel. Here's a video with Panerai North American President Rafael Alvarez and PuristSPro General Manager Anthony Tsai welcomes PuristS guests to the event during d...
I tend to agree, although...
By: sergio : June 22nd, 2012-06:53
it will take a bit, for my mind to absorb...the hybrid/transitional...heaviness of the case on a Radiomir. Live it looks better than in the pictures, IMO. Nothing wrong with the Minerva's "guts" of course..:-) Ciao - Sergio
Great report, Ed!
By: AlexSunrise : June 22nd, 2012-07:57
It is great to see many familiar faces having a great time. Thanks for the coverage, Ed, and kudos to Panerai for continuing to share their novelties with the PuristS community. Cheers, Alex
Wished you were here buddy!
By: patrick_y : June 22nd, 2012-18:39
Hope you're doing well! Recently had a very nice tasting of fine tequila and it reminded me of the one I tried that you had brought with you when you and Andrew visited a few years back. The tequila was good, but not as great as yours. Wished you were her...
Bottoms up, Patrick!
By: AlexSunrise : June 25th, 2012-11:14
Great to hear from you! Ready to enjoy the summer? All is well on this side of the border. I am glad you had a chace to try some tequilas recently. Hopefully soon I can plan a visit and for sure bring some tequilas or mezcals for us to try. Talk soon, Ale...

you wouldn't be able to find folks any nicer...such a wonderful group of people. As always, Chad and Marcel from the boutique were delightful and it was great catching up. It was also a special honor to meet and chat with Elizabeth and Rafael from Corpora...
Great to meet you both
By: ED209 : June 22nd, 2012-15:24
Thanks for joining us with Panerai. It was nice to meet you and your wife and hope to see you in future events. Regards, ED-209
Really enjoyed your company!

Fantastic Evening with PuristS and Panerai!
By: ocwatching : June 22nd, 2012-10:01
Thank you again to PuristS and Panerai for a great evening of food, watches and friends! What a great event to meet new PuristS and to catch up with friends of old. Its always a good time and again, I enjoyed myself immensely. I am always amazed at how th...
First time I handled the 390
By: ED209 : June 23rd, 2012-12:08
Hi ocwatching, Great to see you at the PuristSPro Panerai event. Your 390 was awesome, it was the first time I was able to handle a 390. And thanks for sharing your pics. Regards, ED-209
NIce report, great pics
By: efftee : June 24th, 2012-22:10
Thanks for the coverage. The 399/398 look amazing! Filet Mignon looks pretty good too. ;)
Thanks Anthony!
By: Darron : June 22nd, 2012-10:18
Great event, it looks like I missed some nice appetizers at the boutique. The food at the montage was excellent though. Thanks for all your hard work, it was a memorable event. Darron
it was a great event
By: Mohannad (aka Riddler) : June 22nd, 2012-13:39
i enjoyed every bit of it specially meeting other fellow purists for the first time (and my first time to meet 4 twins in one outing) food was great but the company was greater and the watches well i could say that i have my eye on 3 so far that are very ...
Glad you could join us
By: ED209 : June 22nd, 2012-15:27
Thanks for attending and it was great meeting you in person. I'm eying the ceramic too. And still trying to convince myself that a 47mm Radiomir looks good on my small wrists. Regards, ED-209
It was a pleasure to have met you too!
By: patrick_y : June 22nd, 2012-18:53
A true pleasure to have met you! Very pleased that the opportunity presented itself! Looking forward to meeting again! Truly! Hopefully soon. Many thanks to Panerai and PuristSPro for putting on this event so that I could meet so many new and old friends!...

This particular dial is...
By: ED209 : June 22nd, 2012-15:46
Hi Ken, Wish you could have joined us for this fun event. The California dial is a combination of Roman (upper half fo the dial) and arabic numerals (lower half) for the hour indices. I like the 337/338 and particularly the 336/378 in rose gold. The 42mm ...
Thanks to Panerai and the Purists for another great event
By: rovermark : June 22nd, 2012-16:20
The event wasn't just a great time, but it provided the motivation to rejoin the Paneristi. I stopped by the boutique earlier today and picked up a piece I have had my eye on for a while now: A PAM 337. Sorry about the quality of this photo. It is just a ...
Hey, big congrats on the new PAM!

Thanks Ed
By: rovermark : June 24th, 2012-01:14
While I have always liked Panerai I find that many of their models are just too large for my taste which I why I ended up selling my PAM 219. While I loved the design of it, I didn't love it when it was on my wrist. At 42mm the 337 is right in my preferre...
Congrats!
By: patrick_y : June 22nd, 2012-18:55
I knew you were going to do this! I just knew it. You mentioned it with so much veracity, yet casual-ness last night as we were all departing that you wanted such a 42mm dressier Panerai watch. Congratulations my friend! Good to see you again last night! ...
Thanks Patrick
By: rovermark : June 24th, 2012-01:34
It was good seeing you. I'm always glad that you are able to make it down from the bay area for events. Yeah, when we were talking I was pretty sure that I was going to do it. I have been interested in the 337 since it was introduced but just hadn't pulle...
I think I need to reconsider...
By: patrick_y : June 25th, 2012-09:25
I think I need to reconsider that G, I don't imagine it getting much better than 7 in town.
I think If I drove it a bit differently...
By: rovermark : June 25th, 2012-11:51
I might be getting a little bit better milage, but I really do love the acceleration so I tend to be a bit heavy on the accelerator. Of course by better milage I am referring to 9 MPG.......
LOL!
By: ocwatching : June 25th, 2012-09:38
love it..yeah but THAT instant gratification is just too good to give up...despite the MPG
Thanks Nicolas
By: rovermark : June 24th, 2012-01:35
The only pitty is that it doesn't have a JLC movement : )
major congrats
By: Mohannad (aka Riddler) : June 23rd, 2012-02:53
you sure act fast, lol enjoy in the best of health i might follow on your footsteps soon just need to contact chad first
Thanks!
By: rovermark : June 24th, 2012-01:37
As I mentioned in my reply to Patrick, I didn't have much of a choice. I knew I wanted one and it is almost always easier to acquire one before they are completely discontinued. What are you thinking of getting?
Fantastic pickup!
By: ocwatching : June 23rd, 2012-06:04
Looks great on you Mark! Hope to see you sooner rather than later!
Thanks Phil
By: rovermark : June 24th, 2012-01:44
I have to admit that the new 42mm Luminors also caught my eye, but In the end the 337 was the right choice for me. When they do a 42mm Luminor with a manual wind movement I may be in trouble.....
Awesome!
By: DRMW : June 23rd, 2012-10:13
Congrats on the Panerai! -MW
Thanks Ming.

I had a different impression of the weight of the PAM438
By: ED209 : June 25th, 2012-21:13
Hi Patrick, It's odd, I have a different thought about the PAM438 than what Anthony had posted. I thought the 438 was quite heavy, similar to a all steel Breitling Bentley. So to me it felt much heftier than I expected. I personally prefer the look of the...
Any of the 2012 novelties that you like?

Hi L(uke), It was a fun event and Panerai did a really nice job as always. Did you have any favorites from the 2012 novelties? Regards, ED-209

The 399 is the belle of the ball. However, it is limited to a 100 pieces and 50 of which, will be part of a set with its rose gold counterpart, the 398. In the US, only 10 sets will be available. The next must have for me is the 449 and then followed by t...
