Rolex 2533: Finally, the documents are being shown.

 
 By: amanico : December 26th, 2011-01:32
I have known the existence of those documents since 2004. I also know they re surfaced in 2010, Maria Panerai's hidden treasures. Those documents have proved, even to the most knoweldgeable Panerai Enthusiasts, that it was the watch model that was tendere...  

Excellent work...Sherlock...:-) [nt]

Well, I find the timing funny...

2010... One year before the official release of the Re Edition of the 2533. 2011... What will we have? Some Vintage 2533 on the market? Hmmmm.... Best, Nicolas.

Alas logical.

I disbelieved the existence of this ‘Panerai’ Watch

 
 By: PoyFR : December 26th, 2011-04:16
For about a decade, I disbelieved the relation between Rolex and Panerai for the model 2533. I had asked several times all my acquaintances at Panerai in Firenze (Executives and employees), each time the response was the same; We do not know this model, t...  

I will save this thread, if you don't mind, POY.

it is very interesting to read. Thank you Nicolas & of course POY as well for sharing some of the insight happening. Cheers,

What is nice and very interesting is to be able to illustrate these old conversations

Of ours, throught these scans. The Date is important, too, as the 2533 was falsely dated to 1935 or 1937, from what I read here and there. Now, we have some proves. Best, Nicolas.

Interestingly I just finished reading Jake's report on the documents

 
 By: KC74 : December 26th, 2011-08:52
and the nice watches before I click on this thread. Lots of mystery here and I am sure you guys will find further proof to piece the puzzle together.

Thanks for sharing, Nicolas:-?

for the wonderful info. It certainly adds an important dimension to the history of the brand and I can't wait for the stainless steel version to come out. My only fear is compared to the original 2533/PAM373 , how much would the SS version loose out in ae... 

Black dial + Solid Case Back, a winning combo.

 
 By: amanico : December 29th, 2011-03:35
If I'm pretty sure that they will release the SS 1533 ( Pam 374? ) with a black dial, I doubt they will go for the solid case back. I may be positively surprised, but I doubt it... For one reason... " Did you see, we put an " in house " movement! " But we...
