My favourite's Panerai this year,
but the ideal model will be this one PAM 317 with:
- RPM on the back (as tourbillion model). The face will be nicer and with more lisibility.
- "Cote de Genève" handcraft (more designed ) and bleued steal screws
I hope it will come in 2009. Will see!!!
For 2008, I fall in love with Jaquet Droz ceramic model : "Grande seconde" with arabic and romain letters.
The opposite of Panerai with Small second, and face in the spirit of the Cali.
Best regards,

Live pictures of the new Panerai watches - SIHH 2008 !
Sorry guys for taking so long to post these pics. I just got back from dinner and after dinner drinks and it's midnight now :P I guess I pay the consequences and now have to stay up late now. I'll be posting them one at a time, so please give me some time...
New PAM292 Ceramic Blackseal Radiomir
Just only a slight change to the Ceramic Blackseal. Panerai removed the pig about 6 o'clock from the dial. Cheers, Anthony...
SO much better...
Truly beautiful now. The pig ruined it for me. Did anyone take delivery of the with-pig versions? Sure to become collector's items now.
Hi Jonathan,
First of all thanks Anthony for working so late but if i see this 292, for me is missing something, the pig is a part of the 292 for me, so i'm happy to orded the first one. Cheers, Michel
Which means those who already had it with the pig,,,,
are accidentally `limited edition`. LOL,, Thanks Anthony, Cheers,
new deployant clasp
In the inside of the deployant clasp, the "Panerai" lettering is not raised anymore, reason being that the raised lettering caused the strap to get stuck, so now the Panerai writing is now flat with the buckle. This message has been edited by AnthonyTsai ...
PAM310 - Luminor Chrono 40mm

PAM26 - 44mm Luminor Destro Marina PVD

Thanks for all your hard work Anthony....
is the 26 a sandwich or painted dial? Maybe it's the angle but I can't tell from the pics.... Drew
Wow, thanks- all other reports referred to it
as a sandwich dial. Appreciate the clarification. Drew
It's definitely a great piece and one.....
I'd love to add to my collection. I'm just a little confused why they chose to use the "26" again? It seems with it being Luminova instead of Tritium and Sandwich dial instead of painted they could have easily given a new model number.... Either way, me l...
thanks a lot Anthony! Question:
As Sir A.Bonati says, it's a second collector's edition (195 was the 1st), will it be engraved with our name like the 195? Regards, Edouard
PAM297 - Luminor GMT 44mm w/ new metal bracelet
The watch shown here with the newly redesigned metal bracelet is the Luminor GMT 44mm. Panerai redesigned the metal bracelet because the older design was too flashy IMO and drew your attention away from the dial and towards the bracelet. And so the new br...

Weight on the wrist of the 3 models?
PAM 275, PAM 311 and PAM 317? What is your feeling in real situation. Other question regarding the lisibility at a day light ( no problem during night I presume) Thanks, Patrickh

Great Report, Anthony
Excellent work! I'm dying to see the new Minerva based movement pic. Is there any? Curious about what is the uniqueness characteristic of the movement, as I really never heard of it before. Once again, thanks for staying late and getting this up for us.
Wow, best coverage for any brand or media out there!
I can't really tell the brown dial from the black on the 309 and 322. Is the brown really subtle? Thanks, Anthony! Great job!
Yeah brown is always subtle
Only brown dial that is brown brown that I remember is the titanium tobacco released a while back. Otherwise, the brown and tobacco dials are faint brown. AT
Thanks Anthony for all the info!
I just have 2 questions for you Anthony as you have personally seen most of the models: 1. Do you think the 309 and 322 are as unique as the 203? As you said the Minerva movements are old and the company was suppling Panerai. 2. What are your feelings and...
