PeteM Posted November 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 This is a gen dial for a 267. Its a 47mm Brown MM dial. A few years back OP found 200 of the Angelus movements F240 lying around in a stock room. They decided to refurb these and with them release 150 units of the 203. I believe there are also a few OOR's. Then due to some kicking up by some big buying Paneristi they released an additional Angelus run of 6 units with Brown MM dials these were the 267. Thats the short story So there is a family of MMs the 217, 267, and 6152-1 As I mentioned there are 6 in the world, 2 in the US, 1 in Dubai and 3 in Italy........ but soon there will be another Heres a pic of the gen watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babola Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Bollix I say...you can't sell me that story...you knew exactly what you were getting, I know you far to well matey! Seriously though, what a find, I'm sure the AD will be kicking themselves soon after realising what they've just done. I smell a magnificent franken...probably the most elusive one of modern Panerai times - good on 'ya mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Congrats on a wonderful find. Now best of luck with sourcing that movement. You know you can't put that dial and hands into a watch with an alarm movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmcsherry Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 You could always pick up a second hand 203 and swap the dials out. I hear there's one under the seat of a NYC cab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
