After a long absence...
from having a Panerai in my collection (the last was a PAM 237 sold a few years ago), I found this mint piece from a fellow Purist in Hong Kong this week. I did miss having one and am glad to have found this from the 2006 special editions.
A quick shot of my new PAM 246 split second chronograph in an edition of 300 pieces.

That is a very good one, my friend. Very interesting Chrono.
The movement was shared by GP, Panerai, Graham I think... Cool catch! Best, Nicolas
Yes indeed...
The foudroyante feature is rather cool and not so common, and the movement I believe is Jaquet, which Panerai renames OP XXI caliber in their line.
I have to ask...
If you want a Panerai in your collection, why not buy a PANERAI (001/002/000/005/390/176/177/372 to name a few) instead of a watch that looks like a GP, PP, VC but is NOT? :-)
I do like the look...
and it looks like a Panerai Radiomir to me. I don't see any resemblence to PP, VC. Is it the "sourced" movement like so many other models?
With a dial..that..busy, it looks like anything but..
a Panerai :-) Radiomir is your "poison"? A 210, 232, 249...all simple, quintessential Panerais. But hey, I just HAD to..ask. Your answer is "plenty good enough for me" Ciao
All very lovely pieces...
Yes, the quintessential look comes out in the models you note. I like those too. I guess the question is whether Panerai should be making any complications or not? They have made many chronos with a similar vibe over the years. Here, the 246 adds the extr...
Great piece Dave!!
Btw, I wrote a review on my ex-PAM246 several years ago if anyone is interested in reading it: Some many not like the "busy" look of this PAM246 but I find it refreshing. Congrats on the great pick-up! Cheers, Anthony
Anthony, I actually read your...
Anthony, I actually read your review in depth before buying the watch. It was very helpful! On 26 Aug, 2014, at 12:05, www watchprosite < [Email address suppressed for privacy] > wrote:
