Nicolas, known as 'amanico' on WatchProSite, revisits the iconic Panerai Luminor Marina PAM 1, a reference that evokes significant memories for many collectors. This article delves into the enduring appeal of early Panerai models and the nuanced discussions surrounding their design evolution. Nicolas's post serves as a catalyst for a deeper exploration into what defines a 'pure' Panerai for enthusiasts.
..Nico (as always). I place the 001, at the bottom of the "early ones" list. The missing 9 on the dial, took long to get used to, for me at least
dial but maybe that's a nice counterpart (or option) to perfect symmetry.
My jaw dropped when I saw this. It is gorgeous!!!!
Been reading up on the pre-vendome to early vendome pieces to understand the DNA of a pure Panerai. Did you see the new platinum luminor with a green dial? What are your thoughts about this Sergio? Here is a shot of PAM36/40 from someone we know. Nico’s pic
for it's tobacco dial and the 4 lines, I've never had any feeling whatsoever for the 40. Had the chance to buy it, a couple of times, but just wasn't interested. To me, the 40, it's just the titanium version of the 001 (sorry Nico). I've just had a look at the PAM1116...on line...and thanks but NO thanks. The sunbrushed green dial, it's rather interesting (if you like green), but the Automatic, the date and the 9 WITH the seconds counter, on a 44mm dial, just don't do it for me. If I want a busy
I will patiently wait for this phoenix to arise from the ashes again.
