Don't understand Panerai...

was tempted to pull the trigger on a 61... but took too long to decide... so maybe a 118 when it next comes up for sale.

bro, you steady leh. black dial base ti to match your tobacco dial marina ti. show us some pics la.

Aiya, maybe a PAM55 would be better? Base ley, more ppl go for base and the value is going up by the minute as we speak. Actually, one of my friends ask me to help him lookout for the 176, but last minute aeroplane the deal... so lanlan lor, have to makan the deal myself.

Really ah? My suggestion is to BUY IT! The brown dial complements the greyish Ti case very well. and that stark contrast between the black hands against the Tobacco brown dial can make u stare at it for minutes. Can't get your eyes off them. However, after wearing the 118 for a while, I can't really seem to get used to wearing my 22B, it feels much heavier on the wrist. The only downside is probably the strap choices for the Tobacco dial PAMs... limited, but there will be one that brings out the beauty of brown to the wearer.

I have an incoming PAM176 also... but I dun think it'll beat the 118. It's a beauty!

So... u getting one for yourself also?

the 57 seems to be rather elusive for the moment... but yea, it's beautiful.

oorrh... so "cheem" one... u lawyer ah?

The watch is so rare... buey tahan just by thinking about it. Gone are the days when one could be had for under S$10k.

No lah, I not in law profession one. England so broken... used to be in IT, but now full time holidayer... lol... before I find my next job.

57 is also a lovely watch I've been eyeing since I bought my first Ti-Tobacco Marina (can't help, some pics posted by our brudders here made me pull the trigger on a 118 too). The brown hobnail dial is just mesmerizing no?

As for the PAm29A, was never interested in a GMT before, it'll be purely for speculative reasons if I evar geddit... keyword here is 'evar' lol...

ooooh... the much coveted 28A... and how about the 57 ti-pwr reserve?

As for the 29A, go for it Destro22BT! And show us some pics of your 29A when you get.

True... it seems that their value is going up up and away... Purists will go for the historics more than contemporaries... Well, perhaps with the exception of the PAM28A PVD Power Reserve. I wonder sometimes whether I should buy a PAM29A Tux GMT for speculative purposes since they can still be had at lower prices...hmmm

... that can explain away the Panerai craze.

Panerais (especially the historic models) simply tug at my heart. And the tugging just doesn't stop...

24 and 25 A,B and C command a premium not bcos they are tritium. Tritium was still

used on SUB till the I series. The reason i think is bcos of the cleaner bezel these series have.

[morningbell]

Actually, they used to have tritium on Submersibles until recently as they are categorized as 'dive tools'. If I'm not mistaken, they should be replaced with Luminova only after 'I' series for all submersibles.

Just like to add, 24 and 25 series a,b,c are tritium thats why they command a slight premium. 243 i to current series also tritium dials.

I do agree with you, impatient to get my Deep Sea..
