Officine Panerai

I've always thought the submersible is a bit under appreciated but in my mind, it represents the DNA of Panerai the best. Having seen various after-market PVD/DLC'ed out PAM24/25, I didn't think it looks half bad. It's only a matter of time before OP came... 

in it I didn't really pay attention to before, especially when I wasn't really a bronzo fan that much. The remake allows me to spend little more them reading the related posts, and to be honest, it's really an understated piece. At least to me, it drew my... 

I do agree w/ your assessment on the 'lack' of progress. However, as I've often mentioned, I think this is partly 'our' fault. The collectors, or the market, would put a premium whenever we have some models w/ strict lineage to the history. (Ok, this is M... 

I think you're absolutely correct. What we're seeing is perhaps an over-responsiveness to the core collectors, with perhaps over-repetitive pieces for those whom obsess over what is "historically correct", with an attempt to find favor among the broader, ... 

It looks really wicked with the faux patina luminova IMO. And I think it'll look better with the Panerai rubber strap. Too bad Panerai didn't make a black nylon strap w/ matching faux patina luminova stitching! As far as the new Bronzo PAM507 w/ power res...  

Since I got a 6.5 inch wrist I can just pull off a 44mm, Ive been wanting a Rad for a while, saw this and I like it a lot!

I have it on my 233, and it is super convienent...wondering why they didn't put it on the 512...

because I actually enjoy using a screwdriver to unscrew the screws and screwing them back when doing a strap change. I've done it so many times that I'm accustomed to it already. Cheers, Anthony

since I ususally try to keep once piece at the i love it in 47mm and ceramic!!!!!!!!!!! i am started to think 44mm is fairly small since the second week i got it

I'd choose the former, so my answer would be no it would not be stupid :) Cheers, Anthony

and as usual, my mantra stays the same, from a customer's point of view, they can do whatever they feel they have to do to: 1) have a healthy balance sheet 2) further the Panerai brand and keep it going. From a Panerai liker's (I never could bring myself ... 

I really love Panerai marketing and the brand, but their RND is otherwise strange. Look at 386, 375, 438 and even 339. You do not roll out new models and can't produce it later. In any other companies, if new products can't be roll out after media communi... 

" It used to be 60yrs, between the real vintage & remake (or should I say hommage?) (3646 vs. PAM21, 6152/1 vs. PAM127) then it shrunk to ~10yrs? (5201/201A vs. PAM0000, PAM21 vs PAM232) then it went further below 10yrs (26A,B vs. 26K, 28A/B/C vs 28L,...
