chubbchubb Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 I saw the for-sale post of Shultz for his PAM239 with Takashi datewheel and that inspired me to take out mine, finally install the 2geek datewheel that was sitting in my parts-box and do a few new pix. The 239 is one of my favorite PAMs and a sure keeper. The PAM239 Destro is a limited series of only 75 pieces which were made in 2006 especially for the French Jeweler Chronopassion, a Panerai AD in Paris. The series sold out quickly and today, these watches are hard to get and pricey. It was the only time that Panerai made a Destro model in the Submersibile case and the only time it made a limited series for one of its retailers.

dluddy Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Completely agree and love my 239 S. Mine is about to get the DW upgrade and can't wait. Lume is already done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubbchubb Posted April 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Nice info mate thanks for sharing Have you done the lume? There is one obvious problem with the one advertised though maybe thats why? What problem do you mean? I have seen no problem with the advertised one. It's brand new, plus it comes with the Takashi datewheel... Mine still has standard lume. I would not trust this to anyone but The Zigmeister but unfortunately he's on the other side of the Atlantic with two nasty customs inbetween...
