MTF - here's the new PAM523 42mm Luminor w/ white dial
It's a nice mix for you and Mrs. MTF because it's 42mm - between 40mm and 44mm 
What's great about this new PAM523 is I believe it is Panerai's 1st glossy enamel-looking white dialed Luminor. Normally Panerai dials are matte finished but this PAM523 white dial is shiny. The black printed numerals are also glossy too like the dial, and the date disc background is a matching white too for a clean look.
Houses the P.9000 movement and retail price is $7,800.
Cheers,
Anthony
Surely NOT a Panerai?!?
Dear forumners, Shock! Horror! Probe! I can't believe what has happened. The current Mrs MTF and I have been adamant that there is no merit in Panerai watches....well, at least the ones made for public consumption are not. We may concede the few military-...
Well, if you have come this far......
there's no turning back now. :) :) Good luck! fernando
After the PAM ...
Follows the wonderful syndrome of strap frenzy. My friends that are Panerai owners states that its impossible to have less than five straps. Cheers, Nilo Disclaimer: I don't own any Panerai watch but I'm very tempted by the 40mm model.
I just heard they discontinued the PAM 049 and 114
but the Panerai Boutique is putting customers who enquire "on the waiting list to call you when stocks arrive". But in reality , since they stopped production, the lists will be used when the replacement model (? ref no?) is introduced. Prices will be rai...
Ahaha MTF, I am like you the Radiomir I like because of....
the lug/straps combination, actually I like it very much! In a 40mm size (human size) as you put it, I will definitely go an try to acquire one, the Luminor definitely not for me nowadays but ...who knows! Cheers Francois
Welcome to the madness
kudos to Mrs MTF! Resistance is quite futile .... And it's not much bigger than the contemporary ;) ...
Panerai can become addictive...
Panerai is all about how it looks on your wrist from your vantage point....I wasn't ever sold until I put one on my wrist. Then it was over. Good Luck. ...
LOL! Great Photo!
Great Photo! Fantastic Photo! Shows the essence of Panerai Collecting.
Good one! LOL !
We can all identify with that ;) Your expression better than most of us !
This photo is precious!!!!
ROFL! An absolutely true that once you strap Panerai you are done....well done ;) Best D
Great pieces worth considering...
I personally really like the PAM 390, which at this point must be bought second-hand. The 111 is also another popular choice.
Maybe....
If I am honest, I am not a massive fan of Panerai......however, having said that I do own one Panerai. There are days when nothing other than a Panerai works! So, I say this......you don't seem like intrinsic lovers of Panerai, but seem to be allured by s...
You also have the 003, 10, 113, 07 and..... :)
but a white dialled Panerai, is still considered a pariah, outcast, a creation of a lesser God. This is Granddad :-) ...
You may want to wait a bit and wait for the new
White dialed Luminor with in-house movement from SIHH 2013. I believe it\'s a 40mm but I have to check my notes. I have pics of it and will write a post about it soon. Warning MTF, there is no turning back once you get your first Panerai! Cheers, Anthony

Details are important to ladies and the PAM 523 fails
Anthony, Thanks for the photos that were shown to the current Mrs MTF. Unfortunately (or fortunately), the PAM 523 fails the font test. If you look at the numerals (especially 6 and 4) and compare the three dials: 049, 114 and 523, you can see that the ne...
I don't think there is
I personally prefer the loopy open 6 because that is the standard 6 found on Panerai sandwich dials. This time it\'s on a printed dial. Best, Anthony
Aha.....it seems that the "standard" Panerai font
with the incomplete loop on the '6' like on the sandwich dials is exactly what has been unattractive to her until she saw the 049 and 114 "nice font"...hehehe. Regards, MTF
