Officine Panerai

Was missing a Luminor style case in my collection after I sold off the Sub so I was super chuffed when my PAM28 came in last week to complete the trio case collection again.

It kind of also brings me to ask folks here what there preferences is for certain Panerai attributes...since the 3 I have here represent a lot of dial and case variations.

So regardless of movement complication...what case style do most of us prefer here?

1. Luminor
2. 1950
3. Radiomir

What kind of dial construction?
1. Painted Numbers/Sticks
2. Sandwich dial

What kind of color?
1. Black
2. Brown
3. Blue
4. Gray/Gunmetal

What kind of dial finish?
1. Matte
2. Metallic
3. Hobnail

That's before getting into movement or complication!

It was interesting for me thinking through these things.

Anyway, enjoy the shots and the case family shots

i am more  of a radiomir person   190 style is good but i also like the ceramic or blacks too although there are new lums which have caught my attention

with his titanium 47mm case and 2d choice a 1950 luminor case in black ceramic as 335 (but do not like the linear PR)

For me it would be 1950, sandwich, black, metallic, in other words not very daring on my side

I'd say definitely a Radiomir, Sandwich dial is a must, in black colour to represent the stealth conditions that a Panerai is meant to be used, and finally the case should be polished, just cause i love it so ( even though i know this is a contradiction to the previous criteria!)

You have great watches there!

- Radiomir
- sandwich dial in black
- gold hands
- little seconds at nine o clock
- brushed case in a cool material, like eeehhh, yeah! titanium!
- preferably a little smaller case, like... say... yeah! 42 mm!
- manual inhouse movement

oh my!!!
But...
that sounds just like the watch I just ordered...



Best,

Rob.

and are great examples of Panerai model diversification IMO.

I'd suggest a 47mm Luminor or Radiomir as your next Panerai.

But to answer your question, my pick would be a Luminor w/ black matte sandwich dial.  And to be even more specific, 44mm and brushed case w/ display back

Cheers,

I prefer radiomir-case, sandwich dial , black, metal (steel or titanium) - and simple time only (with a small-seconds indicator).

I'm expecting pictures here too

Cheers,

Yes!!!!  Got the 183G and it's a slippery slope. . . . I'm now thinking of calling the AD and putting my name down for the 337!  I blame this forum for my recent insanity. . . . .

No message body

I think I played the game that Anthony had before SIHH on what I would like to see come out.

The idea combo that I would have really liked is the composite case, brown dial, gold hands, curved crystal from the 1950/217 , no "8 days" text by the 3 o'clock position and a display back with the 8 day PR on the back like on the 346.

For me, this PAM is perfect in every way...
