Thank you Panerai !!! - PAM634

By: Bruno.M1 : June 28th, 2015-01:31

They launched something new for the 15th anniversary 'Paneristi.com'

We already had 3 of these in the past years

First the 195

than the 360

and not so long agog the 532

3 nice watches, three times a black case

Now we get this

Well, I like it. Those black pieces were nice but got tired of all those black case. Personal opinion ofcourse but imo too much is too much. So this time a very clean and simple one was welcome.

2 hands, steel case and not an in-house movement but a modified Unitas like we're used too.

The best thing …. the price !!!

When they offer us a special edition very often we know we'll have to pay a lot extra. This time Panerai really did us a favor! At 4200 USD ( today's rate about 3750 euro) this is a VERY cheap one for being a Panerai

I believe it's even much cheaper than a PAM000 logo.

What about the blue logo ? I like it

Have you seen the 6 and 9, they are closed …. strange but why not

Conclusion, I like it and the price is unbelievable attractive. It's been a long time that a brand offers us a special edition without putting an inflated price tag on it.

I didnt notice the closed numerals

The only other thing I would change would be the faux patina. That has run its course IMO.

This PAM634 is a decent piece and definitely priced well

By: AnthonyTsai : June 28th, 2015-09:09

when you compare it to other retail prices.
Yeah the closed 9 and 6 numerals looks a little weird but I can get used to it.
Now we have the blue OP logo so we should expect more Panerais with blue OP logos in the future if past pattern shows history correct.
Thanks for the news Bruno!
Cheers,
Anthony

Snap-on case back

is not the most impressive choice to celebrate an anniversary for a brand like Panerai.

Worth the wait for the 16th joke.

An anonimous model for the....tourists. IMO [nt]

interesting..

By: ocwatching : June 30th, 2015-09:44

from the press release...

"The new Luminor Base Logo (PAM00634) is made in an edition of only 500 units. It uses the OP I hand-wound mechanical calibre with a power reserve of 56 hours, and it is supplied with a black leather strap with contrasting sewing, easily replaceable thanks to the special system of screwed bars. "

so there are no spring bars for the strap?

nice price for the occasion...snap caseback withstanding...

I will bite...as a tourist...

There never were spring bars Phil. Not sure what your question is [nt]

AT...

if you read the online discussions regarding the 634, it is supplied with spring bars (at least the prototype) and snap on caseback (not screwed)...

these two features...along with the integrated new case (bezel with case) has made it controversial..

on the flip side...to expect new releases to be without controversy is not possible...

Ouch that is bad ...

By: AnthonyTsai : July 1st, 2015-16:21

Is Panerai just releasing the PAM634 just to get the long time supporters of the brand back into Panerai just due to the low ball price?

- AT

"The best thing …. the price!!!" Hands down...

By: chronos-lorien : July 1st, 2015-04:53

634 is the only ugly one of all paneristi SEs.

Faux patina totally mismatches with blue logo.

"Two n a half liner" ?? The bottom sripts are too heavy and ruin symmetry of the dial.

Price is the only mean to promote this …, if designers down.

IMHO.

Let’s be frank when evaluating new releases of a manufacture.

Did this model come out yet. All sold out no doubt. [nt]
