Die hard fans, which one?
Let’s assume your wrist can accommodate both a 44 and 47mm. Both revered, Would you choose a 127 “Fiddy” or a 911 “Last One For Paneristi” — and why? ETA with short power reserve vs. significantly longer in house movement a factor? ...
“Fiddy”
1. Almost an exact replica of the Rolex 6152/1 used by Guenat SA in the early 1990’s 2. Beautiful domed sapphire crystal with that stunning visual distortions of the dial 3. 1950’s case 4. Sandwich dial 5. Gold hands 6. Dial color
1950
It’s a true classic icon that represents the best of Panerai design and yes it is an ETA movement, but actually Panerai modified it to resemble the original Rolex movement. Not that shabby at all and easy to service!

I have had zero issues with the Unitas based movements in any of my Panerais and quite a few with the in-house ones. So another point for the 127 in my view. Best Andreas
I would also choose the 995 instead it the 911
Much more special and unique in its design. The 911 is just the normal luminor with a green dial.
127, the iconic one
All the rest an "in house" are creatures of a watch company with big marketing division and tiny QA team...
There are no die-hard fans....
anymore. The ones that were around have been..chased away..by a decade of "stuff" they wouldn't even look at, let alone like or buy. If there still were some, they wouldn't buy a 911 at gunpoint Die-hard=steeped in tradition=history first etc etc etc. Eve...

5 to 6 times. So PLEASE 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 don’t hesitate any longer and get this Fiddy as long as it is possible. 127! 127! 127! There are just a few pieces in good condition available from time to time. And I am afraid that otherwise you will regret it one day. All ...
