An old love: Panerai Pre Vendome Submersible Slytech 5218-205/A.
I had one of these, too. 95 pieces were made, 58 sold before 1997, and 38 sold to Cartier when the brand was bought.

For sure! Super funny days, but I would have happily kept one or two pre vendome... [nt]

No Sir, it was a different time and place when I had no clue about finishing and quality, I was in my Dolce Vita phase [nt]

Vanished for me, I only consider Pre-V and Vintage as Real Panerais now, anything after 1997 homages, same like original Heuer and Tag [nt]

Well, I have a very short list of modern Pannies, such as the 372 and the 587, the 662, too, and the Cali. Add one or two, and basta. Before, I had up to 30! ;) [nt]

Those are nice looking pieces for sure but do they have the "DNA" LoooL [nt]

I do think so. At least those and a 127 or its modern equivalent, yes. For the rest, I am not sure, yes. [nt]

I should look at them again, since usually I like the same watches as you [nt]

The black "Sly"....
by the time I discovered its exsistence, the prices had reached...inane...levels. Lucky for me, I never liked it enough to "fork out the doe"...hahahaha
Very nice!
My dear friend Nico, would you have a picture of the movement by any chance?
A close friend of mine was offered one of these some days ago. The owner showed him a picture the movement which was raw or unfinished. I told him that was not usual with a high end Swiss brand, though I know sometimes lately Panarei has done that with some limited or boutique editions.
I hope not to awake te rage.
Best.

You are referring to the.....
movement of the PAM318 NYC which was not very "pretty to look at". It is true that someone in Panerai made a big judgment error with that model (the reasons for which are still unknown) but it's also true that, of the substantial number of models produced by Panerai through time, the PAM318 is the ONLY case in which this travesty has happened 
Yes, the good old Unitas is decorated, but not at the highest level, indeed. [nt]
