kdspiv Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 While having a margarita at the Oasis, the guy at the table next to us had the gen watch on his wrist. He bought it to match his 430 in the parking lot . This is one of those watches I've been curious about anyway but after seeing it in person I am really interested in the rep. Anyway, this is a beautiful watch! I am curious as to the quality and accuracy of the rep. Can some one tell me about it?
Watchmeister Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 The original PAM Ferarri's were some of the best reps ever. I have never been a fan of watches affiliated with a car I don't own. Although I have never seen a matching car and watch in the wild. In any case there are plenty of posts about it on the forum and as I recall one or two are spot on. They haven't made new reps in a while. I am not sure Panerai makes gens anymore. I believe Panerai has discontinued their association with Ferarri.
panadyne Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 Although Panerai Ferrari reps are undoubtedly some of the most accurate - I have an an 008 and the 030- the association has indeed ended. Official Ferrari watches are now made by Girard Perregaux, however - Tag Heuer, Citizen and even Cartier have all had a go at it. Whilst several of the Girard Perregaux Ferrari watches are specific model related: as far as I know these have never been replicated.
