I wish I had vintage models...

Sep 21, 2022,15:07 PM
 

never got around to buy one. Just a couple of Pre-V and Pre-A models. When I got "swept off my feet" by Panerai, the vintage models' market was a...slippery slope. Too many people trying to ride the wave and and the chances of running into a "Franken model" way to high. So I just left the whole thing alone. I will post, for your eyes only, a REAL vintage, belonging to a good friend of mine (a knoledgeable chap, in matters of Panerai) I had the good fortune to "try on", during a lunch pre-Covid. It's an original MM 6152 model

Submersibles. The Green 1238 (55K Euro) and the Blue 1239 (29K Euro). They can be found on their website. I have to admit, I Googled G-shock, to check a couple of details I thought they might have in common. I have no comments Images obtained from the Web...

Would never have imagined something like these.

What? Where's the date window?

I like the Black/Green one, on the right guy I think it would look amazing🦾

I can’t stand the pushers on the opposite side of the crown however… those have always drove me nuts.

Ahhh bigger, bulkier watches

Just what the market wants!

Sergio, are you okay? You might need a couple days to recover after this Panerai release! LOL!

Personally, I find this release interesting, but don't know what to make of it. Does the Special Forces Experience come with a night-time HALO jump? -John

It's been so long since....

...the Panerai policy and I have parted ways, there is nothing that would "throw" me. As the Floyds sing...I've become comfortably numb

Understood. That is why I found it interesting that you posted this release. I was thinking your fingertips were burning as you typed your post.

I have felt that many brands have left their faithful at the station as the train departed. One good thing about Panerai, is that they produced a solid back catalog of items that are available in the secondary market. Plenty to choose from and many to for...

Thank you, Sir!

I had to look deep in the....

 
 By: sergio : September 21st, 2022-15:29
recesses of my PC to get this picture. This is when Panerai and I....departed from one another. I call this the Panerai-frying pan, since is so remiscent of the legendary Rickenbecker guitar Lolllllllllll ...  

Nope....

some things must be preserved. Lest we...forget Lollllllllllll

I am with you, here.

Are those real?? And if so, what target are we talking about?

Thank goodness there’s no inflation…

…in the U.S. or worldwide recession. Great timing. Not…

Well, Nico asked for a no date submersible

The powers that be listened but I can't help, something tells me we are looking at a case of lost in translation

Which is very possible to do!

 
 By: amanico : September 21st, 2022-15:17

Looks cool

 
 By: Cookies : September 21st, 2022-02:49
A nicer version of the old Zenith Defy Xtreme series. But my only gripe is, with the specs of pieces, is it worth $48k? One can think of a similar piece from Blancpain - the flyback bathyscaphe, and it is 1/3 of the price and comes with a ceramic case. Nu... 

As ugly as hell

 
 By: Blue and White : September 21st, 2022-04:01
At least the price is amusing though 😅

How odd… to see these ever placed in the Firenze

Another Panerai Fashion House 2022 Release

Very fashionable for MIL types, though I prefer space exploration and human advancement over destruction.
