1. 5218-202/A from the 1994 batch with matching dial and the same fat numerals as the 5218-203/A.
2. 5218-304/A love the plain bezel.

A hard to beat Duo!

I can perfectly understand you, Mchael.

Best,

A ref 5218-201/A prototype,,,,,,

And Nico, if you consider the Blackseal why not consider the blue indices daylight?

Cheers

Asi

First the Black Seal Slytech, then the Daylight Slytech...



You got the one on the pic, Asi?

Hope you have great time where you are, with all the other guys!

Best,

Nicolas.

I once saw the picture, but never really told about the story behind it. Can you tell me a little bit about it?

Best regards,

Sam

but real fuzzy about the rest....

Story is Stallone received less than 10 pieces of the Daylight (most likely 7) and didn't like the blue on white and therefore returned these to Panerai to be redone with black as subsequently were all Daylights. That's when the story becomes Fuzzy, from 7 it "grew" to 11 thanks to the powers of quality and there is claim that this amount did hit the market. Others claim that the blue leftover dials were used by an entrepreneur family to assemble some watches outside of Panerai thus making them fake.

I think consensus deems these as bad apples.

Asi

It's always intriguing to hear stories about "controversial" watches like this one...

The look of the watch is not my cup of tea.. But it is definitely a very unique specimen that has a mysterious charm to it...

Best,


Sam

I never understood anything about these Blue Daylight Slytech...

7 to 11, 11 to 7...

Who really knows?

YO?



One thing is sure, this is not the kind of stuff I woiuld go for.

Best,

Sylvester Stallone ordered 20 pieces of the 207/A, he wanted them rapidly (for if I remember correctly his birthday party), Panerai in Firenze arranged to rapidly deliver the first 10 pieces together with other pieces (201A & 205A).  On arrival/delivery Stallone was disappointed by the 207/A dial, he did not like it, especially when he could compare them to the other pieces. The 10 x 207/A (blue dial) pieces returned back to Panerai in Firenze.

A new dial was drawn in accordance to the actor’s requirements.  From way back, I remember to be told at Panerai in Firenze that they re-utilised 3 of the returned blue 207/A 10 pieces to complete the 20 new dialled 207/A pieces ordered by S. Stallone.  Needless to say that the final and complete order (207/A 20 pieces) was delivered post the party date 'ouch'!

*You will here below find a copy of the original final invoice to Sylvester Stallone for the 207/A (black numerals dials), together with related watch-numbers

So hurry up before knowledge travel around the globe, you now know which to look for.

 

I have learn to entirely ignore all rumours, even if certified that they could be more than 7 x 207/A bleu dial, 7 x 207A blue dial pieces is what I was told way back and before the end of Panerai Sistemi spa, and this is what I too believe. 

About the rest or others, I understand how it can be, it is because initially the production of the 207/A was specified and approved for production to ‘Valgine’ (Frères Guenat) with a blue dial and blue hands, due to actor's rejection a new dial was produced for all 207/A units,  but the blue dials had been produced already, this explains the many left over discarded blue dials and matching blue hands, may be up to 95 sets.  

At the time I did not count how many, but I saw a box full of it (1998)

I ask you: DO NOT COPY, DO NO DUPLICATE, DO NOT HOST THIS IMAGE HERE BELOW

As it came with my ex Daylight Slytech...

Whose number is corresponding to those mentionned on the invoice.





For sure, an impeccable provenance!



Best,

Nicolas

a boat for the fools.  Then, the crew could hold on one boat, now it seems they are filling up an entire fleet, e Viva L'Italia!
