stac 0 Posted April 24, 2020 So I'm beginning to think that white dial Panerai's reps just dont exist... I like to read here however I don't post. I've been addicted to subs for decades but recently these beauties have clobbered me over the head. I've searched all the trusted dealers with no luck ... I torture Andrew every few months with inquiries and no luck... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenTLe 1,529 Posted April 24, 2020 There are! Maybe they are not in stock right now, but there are and they have been. This is in the "special price" section: https://trustytime.shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=443&products_id=17955 This one is recent and should be available: https://www.intime05.co/panerai/6498-pam906-vsf-ss-best-edition-white-dial-on-blue-leather-strap-axxxiv-clone.html These may be or not be available: https://www.intime05.co/panerai/3256-pam1523-ladies-v6f-1-1-best-edition-on-brown-leather-strap-p9010.html and https://www.intime05.co/panerai/2259-pam499-q-zf-best-edition-on-white-leather-strap-zp9000.html In the past there have been also these 2 (188 and 251, I have the 1st one), from Noob and with a nice 7753 movement inside (no sunken date): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadApple 14,022 Posted April 24, 2020 Mary has one in her specials recently but it’s gone. Put an WTB listing up. Best option or keep en eye on M2M Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stac 0 Posted April 24, 2020 I'll keep bugging Andrew once a month! Emailed him last week...he said there were none available. I've bought from him for years without issue. I love the white dial so much I'd pull he trigger on a gen but I'm happily married so you know how that goes... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tribefan 6,770 Posted April 24, 2020 homage-forum.com Modders and dial makers there that will fix you up for way way less then gen. If you can get the base model, you can make any dial you want. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maplebank 296 Posted April 30, 2020 Must admit that it was this thread that got me to get mine back on again after a couple of years in the box with the rest of the seldom worn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stac 0 Posted May 2, 2020 That's a beauty for sure! I wonder why the factories aren't making them...they make a gazillion watches i never heard of Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rx4Time 1,492 Posted May 2, 2020 Noob eliminated a majority of their Panerai line, h factory is gone. VSF is focused on the new models. Unfortunately most of the good classic ones are out of production. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mighty Milo 0 Posted May 6, 2020 Panerai obviously are not the ( IN ) watches at the moment so most factories are dropping producing them or just doing the odd few newer models which is a shame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They never were IN watches to begin with. Rolex still gets the lion's share of the market. We can thank our lucky stars that Noob and VSF are still making PAMs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well described in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noEFO3S_J0A I've seen a couple of TV personalities wearing them recently, not sure if it's a marketing strategy or just their own watch (most probably own watch for the italian guy Marcello Masi of the program Linea Verde and maybe marketing for Alan Cumming, starring of the Instinct TV serial from USA) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simonix 8,662 Posted May 9, 2020 To the OP. Another option is to commission Natas (On RWI) to make you a white dial Pam? You could have pretty much whatever you wanted that way?! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
