Hi all With the smaller 42mm rads just introduced do you think Panerai have plans to make luminor 1950 case in 40mm or 42mm? Many thanks

A world without watches? A good meal without great wine? A man without woman? A 1950 case without its 47 mm size? This case is made to be big, IMO. With a 1950 40 mm case, I would have the impression to be on diet... Best, Nicolas This message has been ed... 

but there's a 44mm 1950 case already out there... Although the 47mm brings out all its splendour, the 44mm ain't bad either.. Cheers - Sergio

"The 47mm brings out all its splendour "... I love that statement. To go further in my thoughts, the " 1950 " case, which is the 6152/ 1 case, was born to be 47 mm big. I think that once it has been conceived and build form this size, the balance is perfe... 

I agree with you wholeheartedly. I'm not for compromises, myself. Matter of fact, I think that Panerai shouldn't even make 40mm cases. There are too many brands out there, that already do. But hey, that's the difference between a "papa&mama" shop that... 

From a Purists point of view a 40mm 1950 case would be unorthodox... Having said that, from a business standpoint, I don't see why they should not do that, if there're demands out there. While Panerai has benefitted hugely from this whole big watch era, I... 

I really like the 44mm 1950 size but wouldn't mind if a 40mm version existed. i'm actually quite curious to see it!

the Jaguar X-Type i.e. the Jaguar for those that cannot afford a REAL one. That move, turned out to be the beginning of the end for Ford's involvement with...tradition. There's a line to be drawn, IMO, somewhere. I am, and I wrote it already, acutely awar... 

issue a 47mm Historic regular Luminor case? Might as well give Panerai fans every different model configuration possible right? I really hope they don't do this though Panerai needs to protect the Historic Luminor case and leave it only in the 40mm and 44... 

I'm not necessarily saying that OP will make 40mm 1950 case. Was really just stating that IF there're strong demands out there, then I think it make sense for them to do it. While there's no doubt that OP should and will continue to develop products that ... 

If they do, it will jeapardize the regular 40mm Luminor Historic case and will be too much overlap IMO. And to introduce a new 42mm 1950 Luminor case, that's highly unlikely and doesn't make any sense. It won't be much larger than a 40mm and not much smal... 

i hope they'll make a re-run of the 1950 Case in the Original Diameter (47mm) .!!! i like'em BIG ;0)) Tony
