The Rolex era-inspired watch Perezscope showed us! Looks really good.

Best, mahesh.,

... I like the 791 creamy white dial very much. Guess it will enter in my collection! A nice change in a Panerai collection this dial and hands set! Cheers! Abel

Incidentally, a few minutes ago I received a wasap from the Miami Bal Harbour boutique telling me they got one black dial example today. He even showed me the photo in their hands. Quite tempting for sure! Will try to get the ivory dial one which I like b... 

The PAM791 might actually be based on a non-Panerai clock dial. Perezscope on IG has some details about this model having a "fabricated" history.

I don't know if they got the "inspiration" from a particular dial (the clock theory isn't too far fetched) or various elements of the dial have been...patched...together from different sources. One thing is for sure, since 1936 no Panerai has ever had a d...

Been searching for 8 days with power reserve indicator for quite a while. Enjoying its sandwich dial and light weight! ...  

I don't mind absence of date if it had made the case thinner

I am one of those who really like the DUE series. GEO

So pleased to finally see a dial that's NOT a hommage to a historical piece.

if only they had come up with the idea earlier, we would have been spared a great number of atrocities

However, w/ commercial interests behind, I can imagine biased decisions made in exchange for short term gain. With JL at helm for the Richemont group, hopefully we can start to see some decisions planned w/ longer vision.
