Officine Panerai

I wanted to isolate POY's answer at Samrotandi's original post, to make it clear, and as it is a very interesting information. Here is the original post: panerai.watchprosite.com Here is POY's answer: More info about 5218-206/A (not produced under Panerai...  

Don't think that anything like that could happen today the way brands are managed. Do brands ever subcontract out small series that they don't want to handle inhouse? Best regards, George

It is interesting to know hidden stories behind the preV watches. Now it is also interesting to know that the 206/a was designed for military purpose. While the others are solely for civilan watch. Thanks best, Sam

without posting a comment...I have been blown away by Poys knowledge in the past and I am glad that we NOT only have such expertise on this forum but also the kind that is being shared..Many txs...Best regards guillermo

I will save this post a bit later, but along with the Blackseal Slytech, these are ref posts fo perpetual knoweldge. I don't know how many people in the Panerai world have such a knowledge. Best, my friend. Nicolas;

I am struggling to think what could require changing. Any clues, Nico?

...just makes me more interested! (Not that I think the bezel on this is anything special...the usual Submersible bezel makes much more sense for a Panerai) POY, can you chime in?

thanks Nicolas for clarifying that. but such a PAIN to keep this Watch up and Running .!!! frequent Maintenance, Service, Change Parts ???!!! WOW. who needs that.?? no wonder why it never went to production.!! Cheers Tony

Did you mean 100 hours of turning the bezel? Or 100 hours of the watch running? Cheers, Anthony
