Hello guys, I don't know why Anthony is against idea of putting Cali face on 1950...
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.
I wrote to Panerai
I wrote to Panerai concierge service to know the reference numbers.
and the price is ......
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 ...
I, on the other hand, find the 629 intriguing...
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.
I have to agree...
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

That's just my personal preference
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
Because the Cali dial was used in a Radiomir Case ( 3646 ).
It is looking like an heresy, a bit... For the old school guys... Best, Nicolas
I absolutely agree...
... 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 ...
Funny how you don't notice something, like the "disturbing white seconds hand", until someone mentions it... but when they do,
It's all that you see! It is rather white... and disturbing Cheers Henrik, Kamy
619 would have been
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...
Btw, these PAM617 & PAM629 are official Watches & Wonders 2015 Panerai models
I've posted the full press release in our News Central forum here: Cheers, Anthony ...
I saw these in the metal this morning
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.
Your knowledge of Panerai's past.....
...needs "brushing up". Have a look at this..vintage..6152/1 ...
I stand corrected! :-)
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
I believe that a Panerista....
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
That's a nice way to put things into perspective :-)
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
Thanks for sharing Patrick
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
