Millesimation is not to be confused with Limited Edition.
Millesimation is a production of XXXX pieces per Year.
LE is only one production an unique production of XXX pîeces.
As for the 242, Panerai used the millesimation, ie, 300 pieces for 2007.
In 2008 ,they're free to do what they want and how they want.
300/500/ 1000 or more...
LE is another thing.
LE are unique edition of XXX pieces.
For example, pam 127 is 1950 pieces, Pam 217 is 1000 pieces, and Pam 163 is 230 pieces.
In a normal world , this has to stay like that, as Panerai guarantees that is an " UNIQUE" Edtion.
But there are some OOR phenomenons...
As for my 3 examples, 12 OOR Pam 127, 6 Pam 163 ,and 12( not sure about the number ) Pam 217...
That means that these 3 pîeces are not anymore an UNIQUE edtion.
Best.

Difference between Limited Edition and Regular Production?
I'm a little puzzled with the so called limited edition and the regular production watches from Panerai. I've been eyeing a pam242, apparently thats limited to 300 pieces production but its not a limited edition piece. My current 287 indicates that there ...
Limited Edition vs. Production
With Panerai, a regular production watch is limited to a certain number per production year; this is identified by the letter engraved on the caseback, with I being 2006, J for 2007, etc... Panerai would decide each year whether the watch will continue to...
jumping in
although not a mod Sean, your explanation was very thorough, just want to clarify 2 small points ~ The run for the production year includes a model type and not a specific watch, so if your PAM 2A shows a total number of 1000 made, that would include all ...
Still some questions...
So can i conclude that the Pam242 that i'm interested in buying though states that 300 will be produced, it can mean that more will be produced in time to come? the Pam242 is no Special Edition watch, but its been sold and publicised as a limited edition ...
Ahhhh....finally...
Thanks for clearing that up for me guys...that makes things very much clearer to me now. At the end of the day i guess the amount of pieces produced shouldn't be that huge of a factor if i like the piece enough. Perhaps like many i'm trying to find excuse...
To add further clarification...
The PAM 242, although not a SE model, was only produced for the "I" model year. There are no PAM 242 J's. Therefore it could be concluded that only 300 PAM 242's will ever be made, that being the 242 "I' series. This seems almost certain as the 242 houses...
Question...
Apart from 190 and 242, are there any Panerai Model that use the JLC movement?
Yes..other watches that use a JLC movement....
PAM's 184 & 185 Also..the siblings of the PAM 190.....PAM's 197, 198 and 208 I think this is all of them...?
