skintrade 0 Posted July 26, 2010 I don't know why, (because I did not much care for the Panerai brand before becoming a RWG member) but I cannot get enough viewing of these elegant watches. I currently like the PAM253 PANERAI LUMINOR REGATTA FLYBACK, there is a version of this on Mary's forum, see link below.. I also noticed on the Watch International website that there are x2 versions of this watch. It would seem that the version with "Classic Yachts Challenge 2006" on the back case would be the more authentic ? Would I be thinking correctly here ? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks and see links below....

AllergyDoc 40 Posted July 26, 2010 Not sure about the caseback but the older version of this watch, which was very good, had a mineral crystal. This one has a sapphire crystal so I'm pretty sure it's the newer model. Very good replication. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted July 26, 2010 Hmm - yes, I think the 'Yachts Challenge 2006' back is correct for the 253 as I recall - it was a limited edition produced in 2006. Not sure which version is currently available however - worth asking Robert or Mary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
