I would say the jury is still out on these models...
They are considered barely ok by the main streamers. Over all, though, I don't think they made an inpact. The dial is pretty odd and I believe it takes a bit to get used to it. The numberless dial, it's too odd to be readily accepted by "hard core" Panerai chappies. As for me, while I write these things, I've been among the first ones to acquire a 373 and like it...enormously.
Ciaoooooooooo
So what do Panerai Purists think of the 449
Here's another Panerai that caught my attention and I have a chance to buy one from a friend. I loved it in pics from the day it was introduced. BUT it is 47mm, etc, and I have yet to own a Panerai... Curious what the Purist collector feels about this mod...
If I could get one I would
I love the simplicity of the dial and it doesn't have the PIG on it. 47mm for a Rad is pretty big but as most purist risit's would say its the right size! I got a small wrist but I would still buy it :)
Honestly, I like its simplicity a lot! Anyone who
loves a base, would love this piece. How many people can pull off a 47mm, well, that could be the show stopper. Congrats and share more pix soon. Mech.
That is an excellent one. As for its size, the Radiomir case is much easier to wear
Than the Luminor case. You should try one. Best, Nicolas
Not may
Rads above that if we not speak about vintage regarding style & history ...personaly 249 is my fav Had a chance to put 47mm Rad on wrist and as Nicolas said "smallest" 47mm on wrist ever Not taking = regretting Cheers D
When I first saw it, I was transfixed...
when I got it (different model but same dial), it took a long while, before I "understood" all the nouances of this dial and really...REALLY liked it. When I wear mine, I still spend some time..oogling :-) Nice choice IMO
449 is
a killer. Favorite Panerai with Radiomir 322 in my mind. 449 = Simple, pure dial and blue hands are really nice on this model. To be seen in real to understand. You will enjoy Mostel ;-)) Regards, Patrickh
449 is a beauty, though unfortunately for me I prefer 45mm...
There are not many 45mm rads that make the elite lists... Perhaps only the 190? The 449 and 339 are probably my favorite Rads
Let us know Mostel. The PAM449 is a great Panerai
with a super clean dial. It would be a spectacular 1st Panerai IMO! Cheers, Anthony
PAM 449
HI I liked the California dial and was looking at the PAM 448 & PAM 449. I chose the PAM 448 - more subtle, preferred the simplicity of the dial and not the BOLD, in your face RADIOMIR - PANERAI..... I bought the PAM 448...see attached pic Just my vie...
Excuse me but the 3D "title" is PAM449...
what does a 448 (with picture to boot) got to do with it? Ciaoooooooo
PAM 449 / PAM 448
The "title" might be PAM 449 however, opinion/s were called for on the piece. The 449 and 448 were released as a a set of LE of 750 pieces each with the California dials to the boutique stores. So, it would be prudent to compare the two models in the set....
I Like it!
I have the 425 SLC which has a very similar dial and is also 47mm but as it is a radiomir it doesn't look too big. Good luck!
