Officine Panerai - May i ask why?

May i ask why?

I personally believe the 662 is good exactly as is it. I don’t think with the bigger hands of the 127 or 232 would better fit to it. Just a few of the vintage watches had these bigger dials. And i am pretty sure, that the sharper hands from the 587 would add something to it. I had the 662 and 673 in comparison at the boutique when i bought it. The hands of the 587 look to me better on pics than in real. So i am actually happy. But i get your point and i have ask myself the same question on the beginnt: why not the thinner case of the 622 or 514... why not sandwich... maybe they have really thought about these option, tested it and decided to do it like that. Or Maybe an intern put it together without thinking and analyzing the details . I am afraid we will never find it out. So i just enjoy it as it is wish all a nice day and thanks for these exchanges.

662 dial adds a gr8 character to the watch...of course the case too but dial is what wins... Thanks for sharing. Best, mahesh.,

Thx mahesh. The watches make it easy. I just use a normal iPhone and these are mostly just snapshots.

Every time I see this model.....

I wonder why they didn't use the hands of the Fiddy or the 232 or the 587. Could that be because perfection is considered...unattainable? Go figure.

May i ask why?

I've never liked the hour hand of the 372, 422, 605, 662 etc

By: sergio : November 8th, 2018-03:01

I find it kind of stunted and ungainly. I guess that, as usual, it boils down to personal taste.

Interesting perspective Sergio

I might agree with you actually, but aren't these hands on vintage Panerais too? Not that it matters -- as you say, it comes down to personal taste. I have a 587 and do find the hands beautiful. To be honest, sometimes I think the hands are too beautiful ...

Correction!

By: JohnFM : November 10th, 2018-12:24

I have a 673, not a 587 -- though I wish it were the other way around ;-)

Matter of fact....

I don't believe there's a standard size hands in Vintage models. I guess that since they were producing tools, the aestetical part took a back seat. I have, seen all sorts of hands on Vintage models but, in general, the hour hands were a bit more..tapered...
