donce Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 I was wondering if Panerai dial colors are model specific??? In the Gen world, can you get your favorite model with whatever color dial??? I know there are some of you that can answer this..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there are some of you that can answer this..... There are some Gen models that have unique dial colors specific for a particular model. In our rep world, anything goes for the low-end reps. Higher-end reps' dial colors are very close to the Gen dials. To answer your question, Panerai does not customise dial colors for their customers as far as I know. It would be nice if they did, given the price that they are asking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering....I know as a former Gen Rolex owner, you could order from a variety of dial colors at one time. I just don't want to invest in an upgraded Panerai rep only to find that it doesn't actually exist in the real world... Ex: White dial on the 055 titanium?

viper Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Thanks!!! I was wondering....I know as a former Gen Rolex owner, you could order from a variety of dial colors at one time. I just don't want to invest in an upgraded Panerai rep only to find that it doesn't actually exist in the real world... Ex: White dial on the 055 titanium? The Pam 55 Ti only comes with a tobacco dial, you mentioned white, could be interesting, if the rep is of good, decent good quality. That said, if its the only Pam rep you will be buying (which I doubt, Pams are addictive), may I suggest the Pam 113, white dial on ss, it looks great on various strap colors. There is also a database to help you decide and also to check on the actual models Panerai released. Google 'paneristi' and the reference section should clear your doubts. I started in early 2005 with my first Pam rep (005), its still running great and water resistant too. At one time I had 15 different higher-end Pam reps, and I flipped some of them, now down to 7 in my collection. Newest acquisition are 2 Breitling SuperOceans, and an Omega SMP ETA. Go with your heart, even if Panerai did not release the model you fancy, the higher-end reps make great, rugged, everyday watches. Have fun in your selection process!

viper Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 here the brown and white gen pam055. rolli Hi Rolli, Great pics of the gen Pam 55, with white dial! I did not know it existed till you posted the pics. Here's my 'fantasy' Pam 112 pvd in which I switched cases, and my fiddy straight out of the box. These 2 were last year's purchases. Excuse the blurry quick shot of the 112 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luc Egret Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 There is a post over on rwi that was created by enzo reviewing his white dialed 055 from davidsen and the 11th post details the history of said model; heres the link: http://replica-watch.info/forum/viewtopic....p;highlight=055 enjoy, its a gourgeous looking watch! luc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donce Posted May 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 THAT'S AWESOME!!! Thanks guys!!! I have been unusually obsessed with these watches lately. At first, I thought they were too big...then I thought,"Who in the heck is Panerai??"......then I thought,"... maybe I should get one ) I went ahead and ordered my first one from davidsen today! His watches appear to be some of the best I've seen. 055 with white dial and 2 straps(brown & black) CAN'T WAIT!!!! I bought my first reps in 2000 to compare to the gens I collected at the time and see if I was just wasting money on the gens. I paid way too much knowing what I know now. I even did it again in 2004 on a perfectswiss.com eta yachtmaster. Funny thing is, I don't even where it anymore...it sits in a drawer. I did sell the two remaining two eta submariner bodies to someone here working on a mod project. I got an agreement with my boss (aka wife) that I can collect starting with 3 by the end of this quarter. So, the 055 wins the number one spot. I am thinking Breitling SO for second and the Omega UPO for third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
