the most sought-after vendome 44mm Luminor???
hi all pam experts...=) i'm new to the pam world and was wondering which is the most sought-after vendome luminor out there? and mostly importantly why (obviously rarity will be one the factors but that is not what i am asking)?...^_+ thanks in advance......
Pam 203, as
It is, with the Rad Pam 21, an interesting hommage to the Past using Vintage movements in both cases... But I prefer the 21... Best. nicolas
let me be more precise...^^
hi nicolas... man, that was fast...=) ok, i meant the 44mm luminors (not including pre-v)..e.g. pam111, pam 112 etc etc... thanks again...=)
Since PreV are excluded..I´d say
PreA9, PreA4,PreA2,PreA1....................................followed by PAM9A,4A,PAM36,PAM40,2A,1A etc, etc..............Best guillermo
If you exclude the PreV's, PAM A's and B's w/ tritrium, then there really isn't any IMO
That's why I hope Panerai makes a killer 44mm Luminor someday which will have the same high collectibility status such as of a PAM21 or PAM203. Will this model ever exist? Shrug and I hope it does! Cheers, Anthony
Well, the question is what do we look for in a 'killer' watch
Dial? We know that T dial are not to be made again PVD/Ceramik? It's happening now as on 26/292 Movement? Compliacation/Function?
Hmm that's a good question. What is a "killer" 44mm Luminor for you all?
So if Panerai were to make this new model, it would be Luminova dial and several other criteria to distinguish itself from the other 44mm's. For me, a "killer" 44mm Luminor would be: a) In a regular 44mm Luminor case, not the 44mm 1950 Luminor case. b) Do...
Well, the way I see the difficulty
Is that by virtue of 'killer' watch, we're probably talking about old school killer watch because, Panerai, if anything, has been coming up w/ interesting complications/case material/dial configuration, along w/ all these time only pieces that pays hommag...
My favorite 44mm Luminor remains the 172 . . .
I respectfully disagree with those who argue that Panerai has not yet made a stellar Vendome 44mm . . . The 172 is, IMHO, the perfect balance of Panerai simplicity with a modern twist: Craig...
production ended when?
do you perhaps have a picture of the caseback? were all the 172s made with painted dials instead of the sandwich?
The 172 was released in 2003,
It was a LE of 300 pieces, produced during 3 years ( 100 pikeces per year ). AFAIK, all the 172 were coming with the same dial, and painted indexes. Best. Nicolas
I will always hate me,
I had a 192 in my hand last year and did not go for it! Can you be more stupid?
