I prefer a "new course" to the systematic DEFACING of the original dials. I've often wondered what would have been the...original Italian production..like, if Panerai hadn't been sold to the Vendome Group. Would they have chosen to remain in a niche? Woul

when things were still on the...up and up...the Swiss were producing 001-002-004-006-007-008-009 (that would be 1998-2001,some T-dialled, some L-dialled) and the most massively produced models in Panerai' history (I think) 024-025 and the 40mm, automatic

... and that's where the similarity ends ;-) at least almost, since they all are comfortable to wear, the differences however are significant: Only one with a double folding clasp (Blancpain) Only one with a very very shiny all polished bracelet (Breguet)

at the begining of the movie before wearing a more dressy golden watch during the second part. It is a Luminor Marina in steel with classical bracelet: Is it the PAM 050, PAM 171 or PAM 161? Who have the right answer? Cheers, Patrickh

Panerai's major debut at this SIHH 2009 was not the watches IMO, but the introduction of its new P.9000 movements. There are NO new complications such as minute repeater, double tourbillon, etc. Brief summary of the P.9000 characteristics: 3 day power res
