The 360 IS a PVD Logo..
the fact that Panerai (Richemont) can do whatever they feel like, it's a given. So far, the remake of recent models (26K, 28L) haven't been huge successes. As for me, personally, I'd be dancing on tables if they were to re-issue a logo since my original would levitate in price, like a flying carpet.
Don't forget, the more you issue....copies and tributes...the more the "real" collectors, chase after originals. It would be a pity, though, to...dilute...an iconic piece like the 5218-201A, IMO
Ciao - Sergio
SIHH 2013...I think will be special, and we can all dream no?
My perfect dream (apart from the small Egyziano...which is THE ultimate of course) how about a 372 in 44mm with 5128 dial? or if that is tooooo much to ask, how about a 372 44mm with a tobacco dial a la 390? as I said we can but dreammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........
For the first one, you meant " 5218 - 201/A " dial?
In this case, not sure... After all isn't the Logo Pre V unique? As for your offer Nr 2, yes, this would be a good one. BUT I stick to my fantaisy: A Small Egiziano, I mean a 6154, would make my day... Best, Nicolas
I believe that, remaking a 5218 Logo dial....
would be tantamount to shooting themselves in the foot. I mean, mucking around with the "iconic" would be suicidal, IMO. The Small Egiziano would be another story. From few pieces, way back when, to a limited edition (maybe with a manifattura movement or ...
Well, the made the 360?
Which, to me, is essentially a pre-v logo dial in a pvd case. Therefore, I can't see why they wouldn't use the same dial in a 44mm 372 case? I don't think anything is off limits for Panerai. I think this is largely a good thing.

Disagree. The 360 dial doesn't have these desirable fat numbers, and their shape
Is different, too. As well as the faux patina, which cannot compete with the patined tritium... The 360 is a pure product of the Vendome era. The 201/ A is a pure product from the Pre V Era, under Mr Bettarini's talent and genius. Best, Nicolas
Well, put it that way...you're right, of course...
what I meant was that, the "other" guys, took a Logo as a template. Clearly Panerai wouldn't allowe an "hommage" to happen and they probably suggested a DLC version. On the obvious differences and nouances of the two pieces, guy like you, could write a wh...
Agreed there are differences....
between the 360 dial and the pre-v logo dial, which is why I said they were "essentially" the same. However, to me, I still think the 360 dial is a re-release of the famous pre-v logo dial. It's as near as Panerai's can probably get with their current man...
Well, there are as many similarities beween the 360 and the Pre V dials than between
A Rolex 6538 and the latest Sub No Date... IMO, of course. But we agree on the desirability of the Pre V Logo. ;) Best, Nicolas
Like that 372 with 390 inspiration
Full support of the 372 in the 390 guise. Love the 390. The 390 is on my short list of favorite Panerais. So classic, and in a manageable size. Admittedly, while I like the 47mms the most, the 390 is a watch that I can truly wear most of the time. Love th...
It'll happen in time. Panerai eventually uses all the different combinations
so it's just a matter of time IMO! Cheers, Anthony
This Anthony is the Panerai Falacy..(or beauty)
there is only so many permutations that Panerai can create...
Yup and now with the Rolex style bezel on the new PAM389 Amagnetic
Panerai has even more combinations to use! Cheers, Anthony
agree, but
I would say keep it at 47mm... I really think it is the perfect size for the Panerai Luminors
I'm actually
dreaming of a destro version of 372 w/ brown dial & gold hands. Yes, keep it at 47mm pls.
About when does dream become reality?
When do we start hearing about new models?? I'm a newbie to the SIHH wait game!!
for me would be great...
1 - Cali Dial Radiomir 45mm + plexy 2 - another Radiomir ala 232 in 45mm + plexy 3 - a 203 for me. LOL ciao!
How about....
Westminster Carillon Tourbillon Jaquemarts Minute Repeater (two divers siting on Maiale ..repairing it as striker is engaged) in 47mm Luminor case with no crown guard ? :) Kidding I like your proposal number 2 Cheers D
