Panerai Pam 617. ...  

...  

I wrote to Panerai concierge service to know the reference numbers.

11.300 € according to some sources, has to be confirmed ... and all that for a simple 2 or 3 hand watch .... nice look but I think the best times for black watches are over allready, the development dept. at OP should maybe wake up and try to convince us ... 

but it certainly looks like an...hommage...I think, I kind of like it but will reserve my judgement until after I'll see it live.

in my eyes. Cheers, Anthony

with you that on a Luminor, the Cali dial looks way...way...ODD. The watch looks positively "squat" and ungainly but....the word intriguing superseeds "ugly" in my mind, still

Hello guys, I don't know why Anthony is against idea of putting Cali face (1936) on 1950. I just made my choice and sent order form to my Panerai dealer. I hope I have a chance to get a very good discount. If someone is after 629 feel free to contact me.

That's why there are many types of fruit. Some people like apples and some don't. Some like durian and some don't. There's fruit for everyone's tastes and that includes watches too Cheers, Anthony

It is looking like an heresy, a bit... For the old school guys... Best, Nicolas

... this appears to be the only way the Cali dial should be cased: On the 617: I quite like this one, the disturbing detail is the white seconds hand, imho. Cheers Henrik ...  

It's all that you see! It is rather white... and disturbing Cheers Henrik, Kamy

on my list a few years ago when the 375 was released... but since then the brand has really grown (in a different direction)... the 629 just looks odd and I have had many Cali dials... there is a market for these pieces as Panerai keeps releasing versions... 

you can offer yourself this ..... or a Patek ...  

I've posted the full press release in our News Central forum here: Cheers, Anthony ...  

But it disturbs me as I think the movement is a little too small for the watch. The seconds dial next to the "9" is a departure from the clean look of Panerai\'s past. Just my humble opinion.

...needs "brushing up". Have a look at this..vintage..6152/1 ...  

Unfortunately only the "ladies" Panerai fits my wrist comfortable. So while I have owned some, I\'m now just standing and admiring from a distance

will always be a Panerista (deep down, inside) Much like a biker that drives a car but, everytime he goes around a "funky" bend, does it in his....bike...banked out to the max and the earlobe scraping the tarmac

You've reminded me that maybe I should get out my "girly" 512 from the bank and start wearing it... Time to get back on the bike, however small it may be

The 617 is not bad at all, is just that my days with Panerai has passed. But the 629 just doesn\'t look right to me. But again, very keen to see it in metal, hopefully sometime next week Best, Sam
