PAMs with Grey Anthracite Dials - extinct? (and other questions)
1) I am close to reacquiring a used 91 and doing some current searches online and it struck me that Grey Anthracite dial is no longer part of the stable - or am I wrong?
2) The material itself is a mystery for me. How is it made and is it a material easier/harder to make than for the standard sandwich dials?
3) ALSO I am curious - can any one tell me, in the world of fake panerais - have there any fake 91s ever made/seen?
4) Current models do not have 100% satin finish bracelets like the discontinued 91, 124 and 106 - OR am I wrong?
Thanks for looking and in advance to anyone who is able to answer. Cheers!

Thanks for the answers Ed...
I wonder why the anthracite dials had been discontinued. Any ideas why? BTW your images do not appear. But I must admit to you that I had once owned both the 86 and 91 myself as well. Alas, I sold both of them - I must have had a bad panerai day do have d...
Disappointed .....
I was looking forward to receiving delivery of the used mint condition 91 to fill my vacuum but alas.... the dealer had reinspected the used piece and informed me kindly that there were problems he had not seen. The anthracite round the subseconds had dis...
