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

[hiker01]

Showoff!

[StormTooper4]

The sun shines on the rightous. Good for you mate that's awesome

[PeteM]

Righteous !!! More like " on the stupid !! "

But thanks mate

And yes F but I am a happy one !!

[babola]

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!

[Merlin]

hhmmm, 267, tasty...

look at the serial

what will be yours? 7/6 ?!? LOL

[rosnik]

what will be yours? 7/6 ?!? LOL

now the 8th?

But 12/6 mean that are 12 pieces........

[Watchmeister]

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.

Funnily enough already seen a gen movement

This will need to be 'OOR' Stefan

actually the caseback says J2/6

[rmcsherry]

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

[Eton]

Great find Pete!!!

[KB]

Just out of interest....how much did you pay for the dial?

Big congrats by the way.
