greg_r 81 Posted January 28, 2011 I love that thing - fond of the 305 on which it's based, but the bronze case and green dial just set it off for me. And yes, the concept of the case gradually acquiring a vintage patina suggests that Panerai are not without a sense of irony Now, if I could just win the damned lottery, I'd buy one of those...

ebzen02 341 Posted January 28, 2011 Not a fan of the green dial..Guess it'll match the green patina the bronze will take in time.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldrick 1 Posted January 28, 2011 I like how they've gone down the 'vintage' strap look, and obviously tied it in with the patination aspect, could it be that they've taken note of recent developments in the VDB 'vintagising' world Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebzen02 341 Posted January 28, 2011 All I know is that these new vintage straps they are using look like a POS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted January 28, 2011 I'll admit that the concept of brand new cracked leather straps is one that I find amusing (even though I own one!). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silverspeed 10 Posted January 28, 2011 Hmmmm very nice...the bronze case looks amazing, not to sure about the green dial though Just looked for the MRSP...they're not selling them cheap at $10,100 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,463 Posted January 28, 2011 That is really smart - love the bronze/green combo. Looks like it belongs on a multi-million dollar yacht . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KinCaidk 0 Posted January 28, 2011 I love it! If I get rich before they sell out, I'm getting one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E-Dub 0 Posted January 28, 2011 Saw this online this morning and then searched for "bronze" here and saw this thread just started yesterday. This piece is unbelievable!!! LOVE IT. Any chance they'll rep this? Just a different material, they should already have the tooling, right? Would this turn your wrist green? That's a potential hazard downside... Maybe the reason the caseback is SS? Also saw in iW that there will be a "NYC" limited edition with Lady Liberty engraved on the back (also a Bev.Hills version, gag). That would make me buy another PAM as well. Any news from our dealers on plans for these? EW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted January 28, 2011 I'd love them to rep this (I want one SOOOOOO bad), but I'm not holding my breath - especially given the fairly crummy job they did on the 305 (which is basically the same watch in SS). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aren 27 Posted January 28, 2011 Another great post I missed yesterday. I am partially awake today and need to start back tracking. This watch is gorgeous. I love the green and bronze combination. I think with aged patina on the watch, the vintage strap will look stunning. Also, did I read that right - 7.9 mm thick? That is a really thin watch. Beautiful watch and great photos. These large photos are just amazing...love to see the detail. Thanks Baldrick ! I doubt this one will be a rep any time soon...but it is a real beauty.

NFleischer 4,355 Posted January 29, 2011 I like the colors alot. Most people would assume that's Rose Gold I bet. Cheaper than a solid RG watch at any rate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldrick 1 Posted January 29, 2011 13¾ lignes, 7.9 mm thick, That's the movement thickness Aren, not the case thickness, movements are usually gauged by a unit of measurement known as "ligne" ( Pr. lean ) Strangely enough, I posted the thread, but I don't like it, JMO B) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 994 Posted January 29, 2011 I do, 'tis lurvly Not usually into bezel Pams at all but that is one hell of a watch. WTF does it weigh? Bronze ain't exactly light. Col. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aren 27 Posted January 29, 2011 Thanks for the reply Baldrick. So, when thickness is stated, it is only the movement. Good to know. The weight is a good questions Col. I bet it's heavy. I found a review of this watch here: http://www.watchtime.com/2011/01/sihh-pane...E2%80%93-47-mm/ Apparently, it won't even be available in the gen. market until August 2011. Limited edition of only 1000. How ever do you find this stuff Baldrick? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
