Panerai Radiomir PAM 262 aka California in Platinum.

Good or bad? 


The good, the superb chocolate California dial, and the platinum case, even though we can discuss that, since it is always strange to have a platinum case for such a watch.




The bad? Only 30 meters water resistant... The old italian divers would just laugh. 



Best,

Nicolas

The king PAM21 The only "faux pas" is the strap buckle I know it is not the same budget as the California but one can always dream ...  

I find it pointless,

But is it really so difficult to produce a case that is at least 10 bar water resistant? Ok, even 6 bar (Hi Nautilus! 😊) would be better than that 30m WR. This is a general question I very often ask myself. 100m WR should be a minimum standard. Cheers Tho... 

I have to agree.

I own a 262 that was recently serviced., the original retail price was $40,000 much more than the 249. Made in 2006 it’s getting to be a collectors item, I am a sucker for platium and the limited edition of 99 is pretty special. At this time, I cannot fin...
