Watchmeister Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 The key question is whether the bezel is the same 12 click bezel that came on the first version or whether it is one of the better bezel mechanisms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpmlora Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 IS a really nice piece, is a limited edition only 75 pieces...! and is a PAM239 pics.... Niiiiiiice.. especially the destro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finepics Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Looks to me like it will be from the same maker as the 87 (not the same as the previous version) so most likely the bezel is a 60 click, and the edge of the bezel is correctly polished this time. Shame that the He button is now engraved - it should be blank!!! There's always something!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 well, who knows. until the genuine 243 actually gets released we won't know for sure. Released? It's already out there and sold out.

Watchmeister Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Another Panerai Catalogue Special. The pictures on their website for new models are useless for reference. Finepics is right: The real deal: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Another flaw I see on the righty 243 is the non-serial number on the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kostas, great minds think alike. That's exactly the one I have my eyes on...The Lefty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Kostas, great minds think alike. That's exactly the one I have my eyes on...The Lefty! And if you grab a nice yellow OEM rubber/velcro from Psti accessories corner for about 120$ it will be just about perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luminor Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 wait, the lefty is not a 243 lefty. the 243 has the 1950 case, the lefty (PAM 239, limited to 75 pcs) has the luminor case. here's an article on the 239 LINK and again, i don't think the 243 (genuine) has reached the ADs yet, but i'm not sure.

Quarks Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 PAM243 is not out yet. Supposed to be released in Dec. Some speculate that it might be delayed to 07. *taps foot* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
