OP6500 and OP6502 PVD Case Difference
A few months ago I made a post, asking about the difference between PVD OP6500 and OP6502 case So I had a chance to compare both side by side I had a PAM9A and a PreA9 OP6500 case for comparison Probably some of you might already have know the difference ...
Grazie for this added info Sam
Glad to see you enjoying them all so much! Ciao Stephen
Thanks again Sam, See u this weekend at the F1....
i think 6502 is much nicer than 6500,,lol. Regards John
Very interesting post, Sam.
I always preferred, since my young days in the Panerai world, the grey finish if the Pre V PVD pieces. And this Pre V dial... Hmmmm. Great post, my friend. Yes, that is sueful to be able to compare these 2 cases and dials. All the best, Nicolas.
Thank you ! So....
Does this PreA9 OP6500 appeal you ? You've owned one before, no? I really am liking it a lot... I think it's the next best thing after the 202/A Best, Sam
Well, I owned 2, in my previous glorious Panerai Time.
203/ A and Pre A 9... And 202/ A... And several other Pre Vendome pieces. I loved them all, but I specially regret my non matching 202/A for the sotry behind this one, and for its incomparable beauty. Best, my friend. Nicolas.
Was it the OP6500 or 6502 case?
The 202/A is a very special, at least to me, it has the beauty, the rarity and most importantly history Especially the NonMatching version is the one to die for Best, Sam
Can't remember. I sold the watch some 5 years ago.
A watch I didn't wear a lot, because I was more in love with the 202/ A, then with the 203/ A. So, it didn't get too much wrist time. Best, Nicolas.
It is a beautiful Panerai...
Base - tritium dial with PVD finish... But of corse itshard to compare with the PreV PVDs Best, Sam
Thanks for the comparison report Sam
I really love the more black color of the Pre-A PVD cases. Gives the Panerai a more wicked and rugged look IMO. The PVD color on my PAM195 is more greyish instead of black so it's not as tough looking. Cheers, Anthony
The PreA PVD Case....
In this comparison, which is the OP6500 case is actually more grayish.... While the 9A which is a 6502 case (Some larger batch of the PreA9 actually have a 6502 case as well) has a more black color... So I think you prefer the one on the 9A ? I think when...
Very useful if you are going into buying preAs
But I shall resist the disease you are spreading!!! - Jokes aside, I admire you persistent efforts in searching these out. Best, Horo
Thanks Horo....
Thought this might be useful, as we don't see one very frequently and having chance to put these 2 side by side, I thought would be good to share with everyone Thanks again for your kind word mate! Hope to see you again soon! Best, Sam
Great post and report
Great post and report. 9 is my dream watch. Thanks for the post. Cheers, Frederick
