Panerai Pre Vendome Marina Militare 5218-202/A Non Matching dial.
My favourite Pre Vendome, ever... The Grey PVD, plus the extraordinary non matching dial and the 4 lines... Magic. Best, Nicolas ...
In 2005 i bought a Logo but sold it a few years later.
I liked it but never wore it so it had to go. I tried one with a Cali dial a few weeks ago. I think I prefer the simple ones those with a vintage vibe. But I think I appreciate them more in pictures than on my wrist.
Yes, I could say the same for that one as well. And for a lot of watches in fact. And sometimes vice versa. ...
In pictures they a so - so, but on the wrist it’s a whole new view.... that can be a good surprise sometimes 😊
these preV PAMs are pure magic indeed , sorry for
my ignorance but when u say non matching dial what does it means? ty
Thanks George, I was thinking this, but why they dont say pre Richemont? OK, now it is like this.
I remember this time in the late ninethies and when they buy Panerei, this was absolutly crazy. Panerei sold 80 watches p.a. !!! Nobody wanted a Panerei, they where always ugly. Than, with Richemont and a never before seen marketing campaign, all people l...
Included in that marketing campaign was the demand by Richemont that if a dealer wanted to sell Cartier they had to take on Panerai.
And they had to "sell" Panerais to continue to carry Cartier.
The Pre Vendome (Pre-V)....
era consists in the 4 years (1993-1997) during which a 100% Italian Panerai, manufactured commercial watches for sale to the public. Before 1993 all the Panerais were manufactured ONLY for the Italian Navy (under strict "top secret" conditions) and not av...
Did anyone else do PVD as well as Panerai?
I don't think so. This is a perfect example. There's something far more interesting about this lighter grey or pencil lead grey PVD that adorned these PAMs than any of the other finishes I've seen. For one it allows the case to shine, you can easily see t...
Yes, but I think that changed a little from the early days of the Pre V above.
I had a 26 and have a 360 and while not the same colour tone as above (they are both a darker pencil lead grey) each seems to have been more resistant to wear and tear than the earlier models. Admittedly neither would be a daily wearer for me and so my mi...
You are sharing real killer watches nico!
This is Grey pvd? Looks real good. They should try it again!
Black turning to Grey? Or original color Grey?
I am not an expert but did the PVD change color; or is it uniformly worn down? I thought the original PVD color is original pencil grey while the 26 (or at least the 26k) May have darker PVD closer to black?
That's a very attractive photo, Nicolas.
I, too, would like to know what you mean by "non-matching" dial.
Extraordinary mix of colors!
So similar to what's offered today, yet so different ;-)
Ah pre-Vs..
And with this type of patina. So beautiful that it really hurts! Would love to see old Panerais. So hard to see things like this in my part of the world. Thanks for sharing! Best, Echi
