Officine Panerai - New Entry Level Pam 630 & 632

New Entry Level Pam 630 & 632

Oct 25, 2015,01:27 AM

Walking into HK Prince's Building Panerai Boutique late Saturday afternoon and was immediately shown the two latest Panerai that didn't appeared during Watches & Wonders last month, both entry level Pam 630 with a white dial just like the now discontinued Pam 114 with a blue OP logo and the Pam 632, identical to 005 except with a brown dial and gold-edged hands like the 390. Looking at the price tag, they are similar in price to Zero and Five. I was told these two will be boutique exclusive and if I wanted, I could take both home, and that's exactly what I did. With similarities to zero and five, I wouldn't be surprise if they are their replacement but then I am not in the authority to say so. The biggest difference I observed, the case back is now snap back type, not screwed in, and to replace the strap, the lug pins are spring-loaded, no need to use a screwdriver. The box doesn't come with a rubber strap for the 632. Since they are so new in HK, I took both home, and thereby making a photo-shoot of each against what I have...

The modern and the historical

Pam 632 & 630, 005 & 000 replacement???

Turned my 114 into a matt black PVD finish

Pam 630

I read elsewhere that many P fans doesn't find these pair interesting, and what are your thoughts, hate or like or no comments???

Cheers to all, and have a great day, Ian

I only do not understand why they made these watches. They are cheaper but the quality is less a snap back is unacceptable for a diver watch, they always used screwed in backs and there is no reason to change that I thought they wanted to go all the way a...

I don't particularly like themt but I'm sure they will sell. Some will become..icons..years down the road, others will simply...fade away...

Don't know what to say. The Pam000 and the Pam005 fit the need why more

Entry level??? Not sure where the strategy is going but too much dilution will not help. I don't think they will win any fans - snap back and spring bars??? Bill

I agree with you, on the snap back and spring bars...travesty :-) [nt]

I got these thought from a fellow collector.

I don\'t really see the new models as replacements...if they are, they aren\'t in the spirit of 000, or 005. I think the lack of a screw on back is deal breaker for me. I actually think that the springbars are just fine...I have chewed up my screws and sc...
