Swatch has been around for over 30 years, and they have had cheap mechanicals for a long time as well and it doesn't seem to have cheapened the public's opinion of Swiss watches, they understand they...

Yeah, there are a couple that would each easily top 1/4 million at auction, probably significantly more. The guy that owns those is pretty "shy" and I really wonder if he wanted that picture out on...

Regrading the Pam 616 Carbotec, do you like it 15,700 Euros worth? I guess it isn't bad considering the AP ROO Carbon diver is close to $30K. I wonder if the prices were adjusted based on the new...

From my point of view I don't see that. They have produced about 15 in-house movements in just the last few years, use a variety of case materials (can think of 10 off hand) and bring out tons of...

My next purchase was going to be a 42mm 512 1940 Radiomir with the P. 999, this may shift the the new one depending on the movement/dial/price.

PAM 439 is nice, red gold and brown dial and the in-house P.999 handwind movement. They also make the same one in pink gold, steel and titanium. 4 of the new Radiomirs are the 1940 case which has...

Also gotta have a minimum of 4 different fonts, otherwise is ain't CLASSY enough. :sad:

I love being able to have some fun without anyone taking it personal. All in...

I heard there are going to be 2 new 42mm Radiomirs releasing tomorrow at SIHH with a new movement, P.1000. It is possible it will be cheaper than the P. 999 in the 338, then agin it may be more...

A little birdie sent me a text from Switzerland regarding Panerai 2015 SIHH

Gorgeous. I LOVE the older chronos with tachy and tele tracks!! Is that dimples or rivets on the dial, they look like dimples. If they are dimples, any idea why they are there?

Not from a few feet away, but then neither do the Rolex homages.

The Paneristi essentially brought the cottage industry of strap makers into existence. The strap options available for Panerais is staggering and there are some Paneristi who have more money in...

While I have no idea what he paid the value probably tops 7 figures.

Well played, sir, well played.

That is the highest public price from the Christie's auction which is the skyrocket I was alluding to, before that the 100-150 mark was considered reasonable. There are rumors a couple have sold...

Looks like a ceramic bezel ala the 389 but that strange sub-dial with the 3 has me stumped. Doesn't look like any of their chronographs, possibly a dual time?

That;s what I am talking about!! Props!

If I am not mistaken they are 6154 Small Egiziano Radiomirs made for the Egyptian Navy in the mid 1950's, they were actually white to begin with but the radium burn them to a beautiful cream color,...

Can't think of one with both BUT my 029 has central seconds and my 249 has a minute track, too lazy to take my own pictures but here are stolen ones:

What I guess you are calling the "standard" Panerai is called the Luminor. Interestingly, if one were to truly suggest a Panerai model as being the standard Panerai it would probably be the Radiomir...

Quite possibly the finest vintage Panerai collection in the world... it is almost painful to look at.

I assume you have seen this, in the coming soon section you get a teaser of the new Submersible

You may be the only WIS I have run into who is wholly neutral on Panerai, probably says something about you, and it is probably good.
