Indepth Analysis of the Panerai Prototype code named "SLOB"
There are very special moments in one's watch collecting life and they are far and few between, hence that is what makes them memorable. The chance to own those very few pieces that are in effect the very basis of a brand is indeed a great honor. It would...
Well...... I just love the report and the pics!!
It is really rare that this kind of information gets disseminated. I really appreciate your efforts!! And.. Congratulations on a very rare and special watch! Cheers, Bill
WOW!!! A Truely unique proto indeed
Thanks Salman. I'm still in shock at the fact this case is made of bronze! You can obviously see it too. Bronze is a bad choice of materials also for the fact that it's a bear to machine. It's got too many downsides but it's also very beautiful in hue, es...
This watch will have it's own page among unique Panerai
and a place amongst historical deviations and ideas for the future. Sometime, in the future, you'll see, this piece will be referred to when a new line emerges. I'm envious!!!

very cool watch. thanks for sharing the beautiful watch with us.........
interestingly, the bronze case and dial gives the watch a vintage patina under the pvd which is very desirable, congrats to be able to acquire such an fascinating piece and wear in good health.
Great reading, Salman!
Hearty congrats, my friend, on obtaining such a rare and interesting piece! I loved how your macros showed the bronze peeking out from under the PVD to great effect. Also, the domed plexy is so attractive. The added dimensionality and illusion of heft pro...
LoooL :-)
Thank you so much my dear lady Daos I'm glad you approve of my amateurish photos, only if they can be as good as yours. LoooL I really enjoyed your acronyms LooL I like the: " S exy L uminors O f B ronze" suits it perfectly Regards, S
Fantastic review!
The piece is definitely memorable. I've never heard of such a beast. Thanks for the great report Salman!
