" Frutti Di Mare ".
I found this old article on my HD... Which was in Watch Time, in the early 2000's. Featuring a Pam 7 and a Pam 24, so a Mare and a Submersible. As per a strange coincidence, these are 2 watches I had the opportunity to recently take in picture: The Mare N...
You should revive your collection of PAMs Nicolas as I sense theres still
a lot of love for this Italian invention on your part
If I do so, I would sum it to 4 or 5 pieces.
One Submersible, one Lumnior, ore Radiomir, one Mare Nostrum, and one Small Egiziano. The, as they use to say: Basta. Now th question is to know if I'm strong enough to do so: I owned the best of the Luminor ( after the Vintage, of course ), the Logo Pre ...
Well u can fuel the flame with a simple Radiomir first ;) No ifs..
A 232 would be nice unless you want to go back to the pre or even vintage era. This message has been edited by KCKL on 2011-11-20 02:46:06
Nico, the only way with PANERAI is Neo-Vintage and Vintage or basics
The basics I mean watches with known and reliable movements -:- I find boring the re-repeats of repeats, too many new motors do not last a distance. Neo-Vintage -:- because they cannot be replicated. Their later success largely contributed to our today wr...
I feel like you, POY.
I do remember all the crazy moments we had, in the early 2000s, all the passionate discussions, sometimes the fight, but always Passion, dedication, intense love for that brand, bfor their watches, for their conception and vision of Horology. Panerai is n...
well, I have to disagree with you a bit Nico..
I think for a long time Panerai was like an 'inside secret' we all had. then they became 'known' and while not as ubiquitous as rolex, you see them more often today. Doesn't bother me but some I know feel turned off when they see everyone wearing one (or ...
They reproduced their most mysterious model in platinum and what
Were they thinking? What was meant to be a prototype tool watch can't be in platinum. Ss would be a better call I agree. I saw and original existing somewhere in Europe over some sites during their pam gtg. Must be the rarest one of all amogst Pam series ...
If I was an avid Panerai Collector, I would get the 2533 in SS, as well as the 249, and
The 232. Then, Basta. For the Radiomirs, of course. Best, Nicolas.
Only 16-18 pieces
Although a very interesting watch, the 2533 only enabled PANERAI to introduce and be awarded the watches/instruments from the Marina Militare. In many existing documents and correspondences it clearly shows that those watch Ref: 2533 did pass many under-w...
I remember that you already posted this information, POY.
It would be cool to see this document. When you're back from your trip, of course. Best, and have fun. Nicolas.
Ah the 5128-304....
is the only MN that can turn my head. I've always found the 303 bezel unsightly... As for the24A, the only submersible worth a second look. A mini Egiziano with just the right proportions...IHMO of course... Ciao - Sergio
You mean the bezel of the 301/A and 302?
Well the tachy bezel is cool, but this smooth bezel is a world apart. Best, Sergio! Nicolas.
The 5218-304 is something unexplicably so attractive!
But both 301/A 302 and 304 are terrific pieces
All, even the Pam 6, 7 and 8. But you know how much I love these Mare, POY.
All the Mares, and if the last one, the Pam 300, was 4 or 5 mm smaller, I would have jumped on it. Best, Nicolas.
Closer to the original. That may be the explanation.
You will love the post I working on, currently... Best, Nicolas.
Those tasty pieces....you're
The PreV and PreA Mares and the early Submersible.. Are the less appreciated pieces amongst all the other models... But I always see them highly... Very understated.. Got their own strong character... For me, I really love the 5218-302 the Slytech Mare, a...
You have sure taste, my friend.
When I think that I had all the Pre V Mares... 301/ A, 302/ A and 304 ( I even owned 3 301/ A! ) I decided to keep one with me, complete and in stunning condition, but life decided to not allow me this pleasure. No, my love for Panerai isn't growing. I do...
Your Panerai collection at that time...
Was impeccable... Including the complete PreV Mare collection.. Pretty much that's how I got the inspiration from.. I learned a lot from your old posts... So I know how much you loved them.. And I know at this current market price, it's almost impossible ...
Well, the quite new pieces are unaffordable...
Why would I pay 3 times more a Cali? You have to catch the train when it is time... The 372 may be one to get, the 2533 another one, if it comes in SS, and the famous Small Egiziano, if it is in the tube... Best, my friend. Nicolas.
Those are great choices...
Definitely the new pieces worth buying... Let's hope to see the 2533 in SS and the re-edition of the small egiziano I'm also crossing my fingers on those pieces Best, Sam
