It would be my honour Guille
If i am "allowed" to learn more about the fascinating world of Panerai.
I know that there are many opinions out there, and some are true, while many might be lies even.
I just hope that I will be able to distinguish them with the help of the pros here, but sometimes i notice there is some reluctance.
In any case, i love the brand very much , for it's history as well as the present, and do look forward to the future.
At the end of the day, if i can get the watches that i want from the present collection, that is best! Maybe one day in the future then my collection will be a classic that can represent a sizable part of Panerai's past.
Cheers
Stephen
Most detailed info on the Ref. 2533 I have ever encountered!
Ciao Paneristis! Hope you all are having or are about to have a great start to the 2nd weekend of this very beautiful New Year! I'v been meaning to share this post with you all since the last week of last year, but was caught up in a whole lot of stuff so...
Wow, I didn't know that Mr PACI was an Historian!
Well, I would be more prudent when it comes to the 2533... One piece, now 2 or 3... Don't know what to think about this. This is indeed a surprising book...I even noticed some pics of mine, inside. Best, Nicolas
Historian? Nah, it's only that some people have missed The Boat
In those difficult times of economies everyone tries to stay afloat. In that second version of the book we can find the endless crew of ghosts, the authors liberty to share photos of others together with some strange mismatch presentations. Even making re...
The deep deep world of Panerai is still out there
And i may never fully comprehend it all in this lifetime of mine. But i'm glad that i am allowed to share in part of this wonderful history, even if the total truth can never be known. In all cases, thank you for your comments, they are much appreciated b...
This is the (in)famous Garibaldi Ship, also called " Ship of Fools "
100 % pure fake watches on the deck ( or almost ) Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2010-01-09 13:01:43
It is not a revelation, Stephen..It is at least a 4 years old story.
And a well known one. Best, my friend. Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2010-01-10 06:43:02
Ahh my apologies then for being so late into the story!
Once again i will testify, there is so much more to Panerai! Deeper than the Mariana trench i will say! Stephen
Yves, weren't you the publisher of the first Dino Zei book?
Wondering if Mr Zei is one of these "knowledge" people you talk about. Hope all is great
Concerning Watches, no, he is not one of the 2 I mentioned.
Hope all is great with you and your family.
Well you are famous mon ami...
So won't be surprised if i see your works anywhere else! A bientot Stephen
Not that much, as
I never received any request of authorization to use my pics for this book.... And I've been told that I wasn' t the only one in this situation. As for the Panerai Vintage world, I can tell you that only 4 or 5 guys in the world know what it is, really. I...
Naturlamente mon ami
The genuine story behind what Panerai is, is something that is almost impossible to fathom. I bet that even if you were to ask that 4 or 5 people who knows heaps about it, there is still this slight portion that is unfulfilled, that even they can't answer...
Thanks Stephen
Thanks for sharing Stephen. The book was presented by Mr. Paci himself here in Milan right before Christmas during an auction where a GPF2/56 and a very rare 6152 Marina Militare with see through back were sold. The same book was already printed and publi...
I have the 1st book too by Dino zei
And yes i can testify that this 2nd edition is indeed chock full of rare shots that I have never seen before! Well, whatever the case, here's a toast to panerai forever! Salute! Stephen
Nothing new mate
and Just because something is written, doesn't make it true Here is a pic from may 2004, I refrained from posting it for obvious reasons. Asi...
Wow, you are the man Asi!
Very good to see that 2533 batons and dots dial with the seconds hand! If i may so humbly ask, which part do you refer to that is written , yet is not true? I would like to know more about the 2533, as much as i can, and would greatly appreciate it if you...
Great info.....
I have seen the pic of the 2533 before and it is great - but would they release it in the same way they did with the 249..?? That would be something..!! 47mm in SS for me please. Pics of the version with the seconds at 9 both show different hands so I ass...
Now that you mention it...
It seems so! Wow thanks for pointing this out! I agree, the one with the gold hands seem to have the missing dot at 25 min in there! Cheers Stephen
The problem with the history untold
The problem with the history untold is that it leaves many ready to make history. On this topic many have the last word, until the next one. Stephen, thanks for sharing, thanks for wanting to learn more and thanks for your patience.

You totally got it
I'm not in any way part of the "know" club but also curious to learn. Without the knowledge I can only speculate that the hesitance to share has more to do with the high degree of fragility that exist in the vintage world. This is the only reason to prote...
