PAM 168 Chrono Regatta

[DocRaph]

Hi,

Just got a PAM 168 Luminor Chrono Regatta 2003 rep.

This is a rep of one of the 40mm chonos made by Panerai.

The blue dial and blue anodized hands make this a lovely looking watch.

This particular rep has a steel case and case-back fitted, unlike the gen, where they are Titanium.

I have seen some other reps of this, with Titanium cases and case-backs, however none of them seem to have the date-change pusher fitted (working or not), which makes it look odd.

Does anyone know whether a Titanium case and back was made for this watch with a date change pusher?

Cheers, DR

DR,

Please correct me if I am wrong. The date pusher you mentioned are for the Pam that fit with ETA 7753 movement, right? Most of standard rep are fitted with Asian 7750, mate.

Cheers,

Paul

I think the answer to your question is No. There are no 40mm ti cases and no 40mm ti case backs and there are no 40 or 44mm ti cases that have pushers.

I will happily stand corrected and would loved to be proved wrong but I don't think so some how.

Enjoy the watch for what it is not worry about those details it will drive you mad

I'll get some photos taken this weekend sometime and post them.

No problem with the watch - love it as it is....was just thinking...as you do.

(and yes.. do know it has an A7750..cheers)

According to Trusty Time, the PAM168 models they have for sale have Titanium cases as per gen...color certainly looks correct - it's impossible to get that exact brushed tone with stainless steel - have a look at their photos.

Anyway...off to dig out the camera....

OK - taken some photos :-

First with the supplied bracelet (too small for me - waiting for the spares) -

Then with a Rhino military style strap -

Then with a stainless steel spare bracelet (which does fit me) -

Just the head, front and rear -

And finally in the dark (apologies for the quality - I really was in the dark - camera set to manual focus, oops) -

A beautifully colored dial makes this watch a bit special.

Cheers, DR

PS; Yes I know the date is the 22nd now - forgot to set the date
