Panerai 247...The One No One Knows About..

Recommended Posts

seoulbrova

i saw this on another forum a while ago and was really close to buying...but the highly limited # would seem to be a bigger tell than the clear back on the 111.

 

looks fantastic though, as does that strap. can that strap be ordered separately?

Baldy. Baldy. Baldy.

 

This is why I bought this again.

 

1. I don't own a 111

2. It has hands down one of the best xtals in a rep (single sided AR). Clear, not one iota of tint of anything anywhere!! BTW, for those that know the BigMatt xtal, this xtal rivals that.

3. It has a closed CB, which "I" prefer

4. It does not have a roller ball CG Lever like every other new 111

5. It has a high beat movement

6. I can use the case if I wanted to build a Pre-V watch.. Personal Issue and preference

7. The strap is the best rep strap ever produce. People pay top dollar for the quality of this strap.

8. It is 2012 and not 2004..

 

If you have a 111 and are happy with it, then I am happy for you and you really don't need this! Baldy, that includes you!

 

What is the roller ball CG lever and how is it different from the 111?

Well...once again Baldrick stole my thunder!!

While this is indeed a well made rep of a very scarce gen Pam, there is absolutely nothing about it that's worthy of a whole sentence of superlatives...It's a nice Pam rep, that looks like maybe a dozen OTHER nice pam reps!!

When I read the subject line, I was expecting to see something like I had never seen before....FAIL!!!

Trevor's email [email protected]

 

His catalogue http://trevorwatch.v.yupoo.com/

 

Hope this helps.

Just thought I'd post a couple of things on this because I am getting sorely tempted by this... :facepalm::lol:

 

I've always wanted a closed CB sandwich dial and this seems to be the only one I've seen that exists as a gen!

 

 

Trevor's pics are here: http://v.yupoo.com/p...albums/4146439/

 

And Trusty's pics and a video are here:

It's a good job it's CNY or I'd be emailing a Trusted Dealer about now I think... :facepalm:

Great deal from Trevor - the set of parts alone are probably worth more than the watch?

 

Always makes me wonder how this can be a $75 less than a 111M?

 

Great pick up Zen..................

Why would you want a closed back.

The movement is so beautiful.

It's one of the best parts about the 111.

It's also a giveaway to someone looking at it ;) so a closed caseback circumvents this problem! :D

I agree with the whole closed caseback making this watch seem less believable. I mean a run of 20! That is RARE. Any idea what a gen would go for if someone dare put it up for sale?

Ahhh.....alles klar....'krystal klar'...in fact it's even clearer than BigMat's xtal, and we all know how clear that was, it was clearer than a clear thing, clearly handwashed to the point of metaphysical and supranatural clearness....so clear that one could actually see right thru' it, especially on a clear day.. :rolleyes: .. .what could I possibly be thinking, a cathartic moment is upon me, like Paul on the road to Damascus..... it's staring me straight in the face, especially as the strap is the best strap EVER produced, no other strap in the annals of historical horology (hysterical methinks) has matched the messianic majesty of this strap and from this day forward, the cry shall echo in the hills, valleys, canyons and mountains, that there shall be no other strap but the one and only true strap, the EBZEN strap, amen, prostrate thyself before the majesty of the Holy 247..the Holy Xtal and the Holy Strap.... Praise the Strap and give thanks to the Strap...for the Strap is the way ....(cue Handel)....Hallelujah...Hallelujah...Hall...ay...loo....yah B)

Excuse me for being an idiot, but in WHAT way does this ROCK, what makes this different from the VAST plethora of all other base 111 models, give it to me full on, don't hold back and emphasise clearly, the 'distinguishing' DIFFERENCES that should dictate why I should buy this and why you hold it in such reverence B)

Obviously because you can fool young Italian girls into thinking you're one of the only 20 Ferretti boutique employees who got the watch, and they will instantly have sex with you.

 

Well damn, payment sent!! ;)
