DomWash 0 Posted January 13, 2013 Happy weekend everyone. I am saving up to buy a gen Pam or Breitling (ie, trying not to spend my entire monthly salary on reps each month!), and in order to motivate me, I occasionally visit my favourite local jeweler with a small selection of gen PAMs to ogle. I visited him today, and he told me that there is a Panerai exhibition on at the moment(!) in my city, with some new 2012/2013 models on display, and I should go take a look... Well, SAY NO MORE. Off I sped, and luckily I always keep my trusty Lumix in the car. Ladies and gentlemen, here is how a lucky guy spent his morning I arrived at the mall where the exhibit was. Yip. I'm in the right place alright... Outside the mall they had this big poster: On entering the exhibit I am greeted with this corridor (detailed text pics later): On to the exhibits! They are housed in glass containers, in dark rooms, so photography was a bit tricky: I couldn't photograph all the watches on display... Here are the ones I could get kinda half decent shots of: PAM384 - Radiomir 8 Days Ceramica 45mm PAM323 Radiomir 10 days GMT 47mm They even let me try some of them on (PAM 323): PAM337 - Radiomir 42mm PAM320 - Luminor 1950 3 Days GMT Auto 44mm PAM356 - Luminor Chrono Daylight 44mm Top: PAM356 - Luminor Chrono Daylight 44mm. Left to Right: PAM351 Luminor Marina 1950 3 Days Automatic Titanio 44mm ; PAM392 - Luminor Marina 1950 3 Days Automatic 42mm ; PAM320 - Luminor 1950 3 Days GMT Auto 44mm PAM441 - Luminor 1950 3 Days GMT Automatic Ceramica 44mm PAM425 - Radiomir S.L.C. 3 Days 47mm PAM292 - Radiomir Black Seal Ceramica 45mm PAM384 - Radiomir 8 Days Ceramica 45mm PAM424 - Radiomir California 3 Days 47mm Newer in house movements: Wall of History: http://i1341.photobu...zpse154bed6.jpg I hope you enjoyed as much as I did. Some of those pieces are pretty rare - most people never ever get to see one. I'll leave you with this question, which you can respond to in the comments below - if you could have walked out of there with any one of these PAMs, which would it be?

CurioLeo 296 Posted March 28, 2014 Practically the 425,424,372 in that order. Pity there isn't a decent rep of the 425 or the 424 at the moment. Having said that, there is a decent SLC dial rep and a clone P3000 movement from timeshops so putting two and two together,....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

strozzi 1 Posted January 20, 2015 Thanks for this, it was a fun trip and your narrative and photos made me feel like I was there! Also an insight into how good their marketing is. I'd probably grab the 292 before leaving. Love its simplicity and black/white scheme. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
