Panerai PAM 587 OR / AND PAM 673?
2 Marina Miliatare which are so close, but also a bit different. Recto: The presence of a crownguard is so Panerai. A lot of people loves Panerai because of which is more than a detail, a part of the brand's DNA. It gives a lot of strength to the whole wa...
What a question. Both, of course :-)
I agree with you on the movement, I also prefer the "original" P3000. Ciao
Ironically,
I never did fancy the crown guard on Panerais despite it being their trademark, it only adds bulk to an already large case. I guess that's why I only ever really liked a couple watches from their entire offering .
I just have a small problem...
Funding the Duometre à Chronographe for the end of this year.... And maybe a syuperb vintage Milgauss I saw yesterday, for 2017.
I understand you. I targeted a Zenith El Primero 38mm...
I want a vintage Submariner 5513, a GMT 16750... Without forgetting my Perpetual calendar from JLC which I've reduced the budget in buying a Milgauss one month ago. The sum of money allowed for watches is barely the same but the sum of desire are increasi...
You should've added the 372 in the pic to make it more..
confusing I go 372 and 587 to celebrate the diff. If you go MM on both its like you just slapped on a crown guard to make it different. With the 372, not as. If I had the money, all 3 then :-P Best, Echi
Both have one big advantage over the Panerai signed models...
... the longer hands. Since I had a 587 I am biased and I probably would prefer that one again...but both are very nice. The one thing I do not like about these two, and the 372, 448, 449 is the texture of the dials. They do not hold up to the rest of the...
I've never looked at the dials....
that closely. The Marina Militare, is the clincher for me (I DID serve in the Italian Navy, during my..then compulsory..national service) I will receive the 673 next thrusday and have a closer look at both the dials, though.
Already own the 587 and must confess this new Mamma Mia is a big temptation...
... The brown dial of the new 662 Radiomir is haunting me though... Why is our hobby so plentyful of temptations? I need to view these two new models in the metal to decide! Cheers! Abel.
Yes, I need to view them. I want to see both color and painted indexes. But ...
... overall it looks very attractive to me! Will keep you posted! Abrazos, Abel.
Same case as 372?
This ticks a lot of boxes for me. Is the case exactly the same as that of the 372, or like the Fiddy?
Any further thoughts on these two beautiful Panerais?
I've had my eye on a 587 for a while, especially with the recent, beautiful photographs of this watch here -- but the 673 has its charms too. For those who were on the fence regarding one or the other, what did you finally decide, and do you prefer one or...
Maybe we can say that the 587 is more elegant, and the 673 more macho. Two monsters, two lovely ones. You can't go wrong with either.
But if I had to choose only one, I would probably go for the 587. Unless I go for the 662, then in this case, I'd pick the 673 to diversify the cases. Best, Nicolas
Is 'Marina Militare' more appropriate for a 1940 case than a 1950 case?
I'm new to Panerai so am just learning the history, but given that the 587 is a Radiomir 1940 case, isn't this ideal for the Marina Militare designation since the Italian Navy made its name in WWII? Maybe this is irrelevant or I'm missing something but th...
The answer to your question is: no!
If you really..really, wanted to nitpick, you could draw the line between pre-bellic/bellic production (2533-3646 models) and post bellic one (6154-6152/6152-1 cases). There is no post-bellic models that "deserves" the Marina Militare wording more than an...
Not sure I understand Sergio
Is there a case type for which the Marina Militare wording does make the most sense (e.g., pre-bellic wire lugs, 1940s, 1950s) or is the wording equally applicable to any case type?
The wording is equally applicable. There's no Marina Militare...
stereotype model, in the Panerai production. Nowadays the wording only..celebrates..the long standing relationship between the two parties. PAM36 and PAM82 and PAM339 are a practical proof of this
Thanks Nicolas
Both the 587 and 673 are beautiful watches. A difficult choice, made easier by the fact that it's pretty hard to find a new 587 at this time! It was also about $1,000 less expensive, if I recall.
The 587 will look and feel smaller due to the missing crown guard. i personally would most likely go with the 587.
mmh, or 673… hmm, or better both finally
Not anytime soon, I hope....
these models are for grassroots/die-hard Paneristi, not for "turists" that buy watches just because they like them or because the colour of the strap, matches the colour of their...socks...at the moment of the purchase. That's why they make them in...Limi...
You can select Due then.
45mm and very thin. But then don't ask for more history on these models. Matches to me only to a radiomir though . Crown guard on a thin luminor looks silly on my point of view
If you think about it, it makes sense....
since the 6154 case...morphed...into the 6152 and 6152-1
