Officine Panerai

I realise this may be a pointless question but does anyone have any idea on when Pam 321 or

Pam 28 are likely to be released for purchase. If so which boutiques or dealers worldwide are likely to get them

first?. Thanks.

For the intial pieces that first come out, we usually see these pieces get distributed first in Asia, and US usually gets them last.

Cheers,
Anthony

Thanks for the reply Anthony. On a separate question may i ask your opinion on Graham watches?

I've never really liked them but saw the Silverstone Woodcote II model in red gold recently and thought it looked

good - very functional with GMT, Chrono and date. However i get the impression they're not a very highly rated brand and use ETA movements etc.

Have you any feedback on this brand? Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks

So honestly, I'm not even sure how the Silverstone Woodcote II model looks like, so I'd have to google it to see pics.  Graham IMO isn't that popular of a brand.

Prepare to excersice your patients my friend!!

My guess is that the first pieces will land just before the year, and, as Anthony said, first to the Boutiques, then to the major ADs.

But this is only a guess.

Best,

Which i heard from the event today that production starts ONLY in October this year, so well we can expect the 1st pieces to be delivered ONLY after that!

I have made some inquieries about the 312, but I'm getting a bit confused.  Some AD's say they expect in October, but one AD in Spain says he will receive a piece during May.  I am going to Spain in June, but he wants 20 % of the price in deposit to reserve it.

My question is: Is 20% normal?

I could accept 10%, but I think 20 is a bit risky since I have no guarantee that he has the watch by the end of June.

What do you guys think?

He also say that the 312 will only be made in a quantity of 4000 pieces.  Is that right?  Or does he mean 4000 per year?
