Officine Panerai

a) The first thing you will notice is the different shaped hands than the usual Luminor hands. These hands are the same shape as the PAM249 hands. I personally prefer the normal Luminor hands but these hands don't change my positive opinion of this piece....  

is that they are only making 3,000 of these watches, which is a lot but at the same time does not make it a regular production watch. Maybe I didn't read Kong's post on this watch correctly? I do like the waych though, a great base Luminor. Best regards, ... 

or 3000 total overall for all years. No where in the press release does it say limited edition or special edition, so that is why I'm assuming it's a regular production piece. I'll ask Panerai to get the firm answer. Either way, now that the 1st 47mm base...

ears! Mech.

Not so sure about the plexiglass though. As far as the LE/non-LE, I like the decision. I believe this model will have an enormous following, and I rather see everyone satisfied than thousands disappointed.

it's a nice gesture to the avid fans! J

I think this still may end up as an SE for a couple of reasons: 1) Plexi IMO is not for mass consumption, average consumer may be disappointed with the fact that plexi can be scratches/scuffed far easier than sapphire. However the SE collectors will appre... 

because here will be other 47mm bases in the future now that the 1st one is out of the bag Cheers, Anthony

for "our" PAM ;0) Best Damjan P.S. Still confused is this 3000 overall or yearly

hopefully we'll see more of the base 1950's style in the 44mm size in 2012.

Today has been a day you cant forget in a hurry.... where to begin... well, lets start with this one... its perfect. I want it. Im soooooooooooooo happy 3000 pcs..... this way EVERY panerai addict can have a chance...to enjoy what i believe is a born icon... 

This is a dream Panerai watch.

The engraved dial is really a nice touch. Love the evolved case shape. 10K seems a little on the high side. There are a bunch of in house powered models that are less. I still think this is going to be a sold out affair for a while.

from the Photo's . Love the: - Lower profile 1950 the Case - balanced Sandwich dial and engraved lettering - Gold Hands - the use of the In-house movement (assuming reliability of this new movement) - Sapphire Crystal back - Not a LE production A couple o... 

Looks great, but it'd be ridiculous to deny those who want to purchase the 372.

I would also prefer the hands to be the same as the fiddy, but these ones really give it a vintage feel. The dial looks great with the engraved "LUMINOR PANERAI" as well as the patina looking Luminova. I'm a fan of the Plexi, even though it is more prone ... 

It is a watch you dream about; an almost exact copy of a vinatage Panerai[s] at a fraction of the cost. However, as weird as it is to say it, I think Panerai did too good a job of creating a faithful reproduction. After the initial thoughts of how great t... 

I love everything about it... I love the way they make the case looks like a modified Radiomir case... I love the unique styled hands.... I love the large engraved "LUMINOR PANERAI" fonts... Gives it a nice vintage look to it... I love it even more knowin... 

well firstly, i'm Happy that IT IS A Regular Production. why? cause Everyone who wants One will have the Chance to have it without Singling out the Majority. cause we've seen it happened with L.E Pieces that resulted in some very UN-HAPPY People. anyways.... 

it is known that Plexy Scratches much easier than Crystal. but also Simple to remove. and any person could Fix it by using some PolyWatch.

for this model, it's difficult to understand how nice it is in case the pictures is from very front!! you can not see the depth!! the arch is important sign for this model

Now Pam fever over. It's a great piece, if one do not already have a Pam. Too many offering this year, gonna dilute the franchise. Best, Horo

This is as close as they've come to a 'roots' luminor, I'm in.
