Officine Panerai

Glad this one is back..

 

4-5 months wait for presumably an overhaul. First reason was some technicians were training abroad hence fewer folks on the repair bench. After a follow up, it was gaskets waiting for importation. Gaskets.

Well, I didn’t blow mine and quite understand and even appreciate inefficiencies here and there. All is good. I give myself a pleasant shock these days alternating between this 47mm and the 38mm Omega RM. Wow big! Wow small! Hahaha! I love it. This hobby of ours I tell ya.. gives me a smile in my face.

Still waiting for a 232 to serendipitously pop up in the local market. Still kicking myself for letting an opportunity pass. After that probably something from the 1940 rad line like a 587 and I should be temporarily ok.

Best, Echi

Took a chance online with Panatime as I was desperate to scratch my canvass strap itch.. without breaking the bank. Its fused with a thin leather like lining. Seems ok although I would’ve preferred all canvass if that were possible. Best, Echi

Great pictures, and a great watch, thanks ! i specialy like this hand style on this and 662 or 587 but are these only used on the 47mm models/S.E ?

 
By: Ron_W : November 24th, 2017-02:51
47mm specialy with the raised crystal is unfortunately just to big for my size so hoping for a 44mm preferably with crystal flat with the bezel. Any thought s ? And i like your strap too. Is that canvas or denim ? on a leather back ?

For these models they use the 1950 case...

...and no, there is no 1950 case with flat crystal. There are normal 44mm with Luminor case and flat crystal. You might want to have a look at Panerai official website and peruse all the case types available. Ciao

Best to try out 47 in a boutique..

You may just be surprised. Strap is canvass with leather back. Not bad for the price. Best, Echi

one of the true mysteries of modern life. Where do the watches go to be repaired, why they keep them forever, why you''re never sure that everything is back to normal when you get it...back? Regardless of the brand, I've experienced the horror of having t... 

Thanks, Sergio..
