in it I didn't really pay attention to before, especially when I wasn't really a bronzo fan that much.
The remake allows me to spend little more them reading the related posts, and to be honest, it's really an understated piece. At least to me, it drew my attention and I'm learning more of it, that is something good out of this episode.
I'm pretty sure I won't buy the 507, but I'm not sure about the original piece though. But your reference to the the original vs remake part really make me feel how a brand has evolved and progressed, or the lack of it has so much emotional impact to the watch community is just amazing. Perhaps it part of the the WiSdom?
Thanks
Mech.

Few thoughts...

I've always thought the submersible is a bit under appreciated but in my mind, it represents the DNA of Panerai the best. Having seen various after-market PVD/DLC'ed out PAM24/25, I didn't think it looks half bad. It's only a matter of time before OP came...

To a certain degree

I do agree w/ your assessment on the 'lack' of progress. However, as I've often mentioned, I think this is partly 'our' fault. The collectors, or the market, would put a premium whenever we have some models w/ strict lineage to the history. (Ok, this is M...
Agreed

I think you're absolutely correct. What we're seeing is perhaps an over-responsiveness to the core collectors, with perhaps over-repetitive pieces for those whom obsess over what is "historically correct", with an attempt to find favor among the broader, ...
I'm liking the PAM508 Submersible black ceramic a lot
By: AnthonyTsai : January 21st, 2013-21:46
It looks really wicked with the faux patina luminova IMO. And I think it'll look better with the Panerai rubber strap. Too bad Panerai didn't make a black nylon strap w/ matching faux patina luminova stitching! As far as the new Bronzo PAM507 w/ power res...
The 512 got my attention

Since I got a 6.5 inch wrist I can just pull off a 44mm, Ive been wanting a Rad for a while, saw this and I like it a lot!
I've read quite a lot, last couple of days....

and as usual, my mantra stays the same, from a customer's point of view, they can do whatever they feel they have to do to: 1) have a healthy balance sheet 2) further the Panerai brand and keep it going. From a Panerai liker's (I never could bring myself ...
Good post Alec, but on a slightly different note,
By: John HS : January 24th, 2013-16:13
I really love Panerai marketing and the brand, but their RND is otherwise strange. Look at 386, 375, 438 and even 339. You do not roll out new models and can't produce it later. In any other companies, if new products can't be roll out after media communi...

" It used to be 60yrs, between the real vintage & remake (or should I say hommage?) (3646 vs. PAM21, 6152/1 vs. PAM127) then it shrunk to ~10yrs? (5201/201A vs. PAM0000, PAM21 vs PAM232) then it went further below 10yrs (26A,B vs. 26K, 28A/B/C vs 28L,...
