Opinions on the 1334/5

Jan 16, 2023,16:28 PM
 

Hi Pam fans.. I recently tried the 1334/5 and I found the 1334 to be very attractive.. 


But I have some concerns about the :
- reliability of the p6000 movement and 
- durability of the new patina steel 

Would really appreciate some feedback and thoughts on this ref..

My only thoughts were how nice to would be at 42mm. I love the style but very sparse at 47mm. Interestingly with Panerai as people seem to be abandoning the brand for several reasons I am finding more and more to like in recent offerings.

It is 45mm

Ah I thought 47mm

They are optically large due to sparsity of the dial, I love the style though.

I’m feeling really drawn to so many Panerai right now too…

I saw that some 40mm Radiomir are coming this year.

Frankly

I think 40mm would wear too small given the wire lugs

Oh? I don’t think it’s too small…

Really? interesting...

I would love a classic time only in a smaller size, I know it's not historically accurate but that doesn't mean it wouldn't work, it think they could do very well.

Yes, I’ve enjoyed mine, I believe 40mm was the size of Radiomir as a relaunch of the model in 1999…

My pam062, 700 total pieces in white gold with the Zenith Elite caliber, 100m resistance, extra pic in reply above. There was a GMT in 1999, mine was introduced in 2000. All the 40mm were gold I believe. ...  

Maybe owners of 992 and 2020

could chime in on the case quality/durability. There is Radiomir Quaranta (40mm) coming this year with P900 caliber ...  

My opinion Yes and Yes 🙌

I saw the grey and liked it a lot. As for your concern about the movement, really can’t offer any expert knowledge but at the price, if you look around these days, many watches without fancy movements are in a similar range. Also, I believe Panerai is off... 

Fair point about the price. That is an objection many have given the movement, but I have to agree with you.

As far as the OP’s concern over stability of this steel, I didn’t realize something like this can patina. That would give me second thoughts even though I really like this piece.

Patina^2?

The case looks very attractive - something between polished and brushed.. I suppose it’s similar to brushed steel and so it should be fine..

I wonder if the steel has had a chemical treatment to achieve effect.

Two handsome watches though.

Sandblasting

 
 By: yming : January 16th, 2023-23:22
Polish - sandblast - polish again, is what I read

Ah cool 👌🏻

Thanks for clarifying 👍🏻

I think the P6000 is fine personally. Many members here have that movement on their reference and I don't recall any of them complaining...

Our complaint on PAM movement is more with the new P900 or P9000 series which has received some changes lately (or maybe almost "downgrades" one might say). I still love my Panerais and looking to add one or two more (with the P3000 in my case). Here I wo... 

I would trust your strap combo advice any day yacomino 😂

The grey in person was impressive but that blue does look cool in the photos 🙂

very true both are nice and one could have fun with both...just a bit more flexibility with the grey on straps but several options could be possible for the blue as well!

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : January 16th, 2023-20:00
Keep in mind 6 months ago I did not think rose gold case could be strap monster and not my VC rose gold is getting paired with all sort of straps ))

My eyes…

 
 By: yming : January 16th, 2023-18:38
Gravitate towards the grey.. and I always choose with the eyes.. ha Also the blue hands stand out more against the grey dial

They would be nice in 47mm

I think panerai won’t introduce a new 47mm Radiomir. Which is really a pity and against any historical heritage on my point of view. 45mm might be more wearable for some . For me the proportion are just not as balanced as on a 47mm. The vintage cases and ... 

+++1!

At the pday they showed a preview of the Radiomir they showed a really interesting Radiomir with lots of vintage DNA

You could see the glance in the eyes of the historical paneristis. And than the mentioned it’s 45mm … thank u JMP… NOT 🤪😂
