PAM 210 PVD Exist?

I am wondering if the PAM 210 with PVD exists as an OEM model.

If it does, is the caseback solid or see-thru?

It suddenly occured to me that I think I really like the look of this rep.

I've tried in vain to find out any info regarding OEM - now I turn to you folks.

Cheers

From OP official catalogues 2005 & 2006:

It is the PAM 292, Radiomir Black Seal ceramic.

Not a 210 -- which is a Radiomir base.

And not PVD but ceramic.

Great piece!

Caseback is not see through.

We seem to have become very interested in the same thing at the same time. Since I saw the ceramic radiomir, I have been thinking about getting a PVD version. Davidsen does a PVD version which you might be interested in but its not cheap at $380.

My plan is to get a Radiomir 8 days from one of the dealers (you can get them for about $110 at the moment), then have the whole lot PVD coated, including the steel around crystal on the see through case back, and the main componants of the mechanism like this one Tourbillon1801 is selling on Ebay (see image). This should cost about $120-$150

Then I'm going to ask The Zigmeister to use black lume for the hands and dial. I want it to look something like this image (please excuse the use of MS Paint - it took 2 mins but you get the idea). Kind of like the new B&R Phantom. It'll look amazing I think.

Interesting ideas.

What a nice watch. It seems that Ceramic is the new Carbon Fiber/Noryl/Resin/Tegimet/PVD/Anondized/Titanium material ---> Ceramic = En Vogue.

The only problem is how fragile it is. I've been told by a Panerai dealer that they should be fitted with deployment buckle for extra safety as if it hits the floor or a wall, it'll just smash. Not great if you've just spent $6000 on a watch

Unbelievable! :blink:

I thought it was sort of those aircraft ceramics almost as hard as diamond.

Do you think that dealer reliable?

He's definitely reliable - Watch Gallery in London. They launched Panerai in the UK. I went in pretending I was interested in buying one to get all the details.

Maybe he just wanted to flog me an expensive deployment strap!!

Wow, I am shocked! I, too, was under the impression that the kind of ceramic used for watches was tough. My only 'hands-on' example is the ceramic cooking knife that I own: I've dropped it many times, it is tough as nails.
