Officine Panerai

Ciao fellows!

Hope you all have a great start to the weekend!

Just want to give a head's up, my PAM 349 ( which was 1st introduced in a riddle post a few weeks ago) will be arriving on Monday, tokyo time!

I will be posting photos of it initially on that night, while a more complete review should follow the week after when i 1st get to wear it out.

Look forward to them!

Cheers

Stephen

Once more, here is a last CG shot of the piece before the live, in the metal shot comes!

 

congrats to you!...one of 66 in the world?

It's limited to 12 pieces in the world....

Ciao!

Stephen

I'm sure Monday can't come soon enough!  Looking forward to your pics.

The anticipation is akin to when i was receiving my RL PLM, but in a sense even more greater as Panerai is a brand full of passion and i love it!

Cheers

Stephen

The extremes of Panerai.....

I am a bit divided on this one. I am sure it will look very nice in-person.

It won't have the blued hands and the seconds hand makes the dial look a bit unbalanced.

But, the inner bezel ring looks like it will have a rose gold finish and the movement is really beautiful.

And yes, at only 12 pieces, it will truly be a grail Panerai. One of the rarest in the world.

Look forward to your pics.

Congrats,
Ryan

I already own the 309 as well, so this is basically just a dial change.

As has been stated below, the numbers will have the same patina as the 249, thus it will fit very well with the rose gold hands, ring and indeed the minerva movement is just about the nicest finished movement ever fitted into a Panerai. ( IMHO even more than the Angelus and Rolex because those were NOS, and although historically correct, i always personally hate "dirty" movements, from the years and such, plus i think because iv got allergic skin, im kinda traumatized)

Cheers!

Stephen

That I like that the case is in titanium.

Is the crystal sapphire?

Will the dial have the same aged patina as the 249?

I guess we'll find out soon!

I have to say that Panerai, along with Jaeger LeCoultre, has impressed me more than any other major brand in the last few years. A few years ago, I was suffering from Panerai fatigue. Not any more. Now, there are several pieces I lust after...

While waiting for Stephen's photos, I can provide a couple of answers:

- The crystal is indeed sapphire, same as the 309 and 322.

- The dial has the same patina as the 249, which is not apparent in the product scan we've seen so far.

I was informed about the patina too just yesterday.

Not too happy about that, ( because then it won't glow as bright as a normal green pam) but well i guess i shouldnt be complaining and be feeling blessed instead, of which I am!

Cheers

Stephen

Perhaps it won't be quite as bright as on the sandwich dial, but I think it's more than sufficient

Thats a beauty! Wow so congrats on getting yours! You are probably the 1st owner in the world!

Glad to know someone else who owns this piece too!

Why don't you share photos of your piece with us in the meantime?

Cheers!

Stephen

I did not know this existed, CONGRATS on a great pick-up & looking forward to some photos of the watch with new shoes!

Indeed a surprise for everyone, including me!

Well, the shoes won't be something out of the ordinary, but definitely a fitting one for this!

Cheers

Stephen

Congrats in advance! 

Tomorrow, tomorrow!

Stephen

Cant wait to see your beauty!
Cheers

Seems like my post specifically to your post doesnt get posted up! I write so much and it's all gone!

Now, i was saying that i so damn wanna camp outside the boutique premises, but they wouldn't allow me too! ROFL!

I will be drinking into the wee morning, not with amarone though unfortunately, BUT with loads of beer!

Ciao e salute mio amico!
