difference between 448 and 249?
HI all,
Panerai has done it again, another cali dial, but this time, I can't tell the difference other than the little inscriptions in the watch of "california" and "vitnage" at the bottom.
Anyone has a clue?
Please share!
By the way, also would like to know which boutique should I reserve with, as I find both Hong Kong and Taiwan to have a very long list already!
Thanks,
Eric

Look at the movements used :)
PAM249 houses the basic Unitas movement while the PAM448 houses the in-house P.3000 movement. So I'd consider the PAM448 an upgrade over the PAM249, but that is just my own personal opinion. Cheers, Anthony This message has been edited by AnthonyTsai on 2...
A newer, upgrade version for sure, original still nice too though
I agree, looks like other than the inscriptions, the big change is the movement, and it is sweet to see a Cali with that new movement in it. The same awesome looks and feel, but with the upgraded movement, pretty cool. As a bonus, it is pretty easy to pre...
There's a slight difference
