BigCrown Posted September 26, 2009 Report Posted September 26, 2009 Got it yesterday and can't stop staring at the dial! The JV Strap brings out that patina nicely.
ubiquitous Posted September 26, 2009 Report Posted September 26, 2009 Very nice indeed! Some great patina and tone on those indicies!
fishgodeep Posted September 27, 2009 Report Posted September 27, 2009 Whoah ...what a sublime patina on a very nice piece - and quite rare I'd suggest ? Enjoy it!! FGD
Drulee Posted September 27, 2009 Report Posted September 27, 2009 Noob here What is special about a "T SWISS T" Luminor? Just wondering because I believe I have one whose dial has it, will have to double check.
Toadtorrent Posted September 27, 2009 Report Posted September 27, 2009 Modern watches generally are lumed with non-radioactive material. The T stands for Tritium which isn't really used anymore...so more rare if it's gen.
tech Posted September 27, 2009 Report Posted September 27, 2009 Beautiful! Great looking watch! cheers
flex Posted September 27, 2009 Report Posted September 27, 2009 great transitional model.. t-dial on a 02b great find

The T stands for Tritium which isn't really used anymore...so more rare if it's gen. No rep uses Tritium though, is this a gen? Just looked and my rep 036 has "T SWISS T" on the dial
palani21 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Posted September 27, 2009 one word...BEAUTIFUL! congrats bruddah, the patina really is somethin on the dial and hands
archibald Posted September 27, 2009 Report Posted September 27, 2009 No rep uses Tritium though, is this a gen? Just looked and my rep 036 has "T SWISS T" on the dial Thant's the flaw of the 36, which is otherwise a pretty good rep--the rep dial is marked T swiss but any paneristi can tell it is lumed w/ luminova. An instant tell.
BigCrown Posted September 27, 2009 Author Report Posted September 27, 2009 Noob here What is special about a "T SWISS T" Luminor? Just wondering because I believe I have one whose dial has it, will have to double check. Yes, it's real. Real Tritium , real watch, etc. I think it was already explained but Panerai stopped using tritium in the hand-wind Luminors after A and early B series).

An instant tell. Yes the lume on it is a flaw, but I understand The Zigmeister has a mix that emulates the Tritium look (will have to double check). Yes, it's real. Real Tritium , real watch, etc. I think it was already explained but Panerai stopped using tritium in the hand-wind Luminors after A and early B series). And real nice
rolli Posted September 27, 2009 Report Posted September 27, 2009 i love the tritium look. it's an real eye catcher. wear them well... congrats........... rolli
Watchmeister Posted September 27, 2009 Report Posted September 27, 2009 B- Congrats on a beautiful watch. Did you buy as complete watch or build with a gen dial? In any case it is one of the few PAM's I would still kill for. Wear it well.

In any case it is one of the few PAM's I would still kill for. Wear it well. Well, I am a bit too thrifty to buy it like this. I had to take my time and buy the NOS dial first, then hunt for the watch -- which ended up saving me a ton of money in the long run. Funny thing though: the original owner of the 2B once had a T dial in the watch, and sold the dial when times got tough. So I simply restored the watch back to its original configuration. It was originally born with a T dial.
dluddy Posted September 27, 2009 Report Posted September 27, 2009 Interesting pedigree and a beautiful finish BC
Drulee Posted September 27, 2009 Report Posted September 27, 2009 Just noticed the strap, what is a JV strap?
ravishingrick Posted September 28, 2009 Report Posted September 28, 2009 (edited) Someone is using the exact same pictures on a eBay for a PAM002B Transitional sale. Item number: 270462249819 http://cgi.ebay.com/Panerai-Luminor-44mm-PAM-02B-Transitional-TRITIUM-Dial_W0QQitemZ270462249819QQcmdZViewItemQQptZWristwatches?hash=item3ef8ce6b5b&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 PS: Not a good idea to post pictures of your OEM Panerai showing full serial and BB number.

letter Posted September 28, 2009 Report Posted September 28, 2009 I think the ebay seller is bigcrown
Drulee Posted September 28, 2009 Report Posted September 28, 2009 Perhaps the member and eBay seller are one in the same At least I found out what JV stands for, I thought it was a nubuck, really like those straps.
Drulee Posted September 28, 2009 Report Posted September 28, 2009 Hah! Two "winkies" in a row, neat Guess I shouldn't have answered the phone before pressing "Submit"
ravishingrick Posted September 28, 2009 Report Posted September 28, 2009 (edited) Pretty quick flip for somebody who was very happy with his recently acquired T dial PAM. Edited September 28, 2009 by ravishingrick
