I thought the proto versions were the only one's with the error. Thought the production models would have had it corrected. Uber cool that you got an extra "e"!

My Panerai 399 pictorial. Including rare "steeel" shots
By: teofft : November 2nd, 2013-08:19
I was inspired to take and post these pictures after reading about the Montres Passion magazine annual watch awards where the Panerai 1940s' case won 3rd place. This particular watch is special to me since it's part of a 2 watch set (PAM784), and I share ...
Great photos and write up...

I am also the recipient of the 399 with the "EEE". I was informed that only the very first batch came with the error +/- 20 pieces. Panerai was very accommodating in replacing the casebacks. it was to my understanding that we were supposed to ship the wat...
Part of the club :)

So does anyone think that "error" was intentional?

I'm just curious as to what everyone thinks about that. Hard to imagine Panerai could let this kind of misprint slip through. Nonetheless, we have seen certain "oddities" of this nature from time to time. While it seems backwards that anyone should prefer...
Maybe on the prototype...

I've heard of prototype watches having deliberate variations to throw off counterfeiters, so I could see how it may have been intentional on promo pieces. But on a flagship model that's a special edition? I wonder if there is anyone from panerai lurking w...

It is impossible... 1. to find one without the set of 2 watches 2. to afford one if I'm able to find one :)) Best, Sam
PAM 399
By: Peter Lui : November 8th, 2013-22:30
Like you, I received my 399 along with the special box set (size of a coffee table if I may add) back in X'ams of 2012. To this day, I continue to wonder how on earth such mistake could take place. Given the PAM 399 was a SE with only 100 pieces, not to m...
