Chronus Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 http://www.panerai.com/s_page.xpd?id_lingu...id_categoria=39 If the link doesn't work, it's the Luminor Chrono on the Panerai.com website. Slight changes to the dial by the looks of things. White (ivory) dial Daylight now has 3 recessed subdials, as does the black dial version too. Looks ok to me - usual Richemont strategy, slight change, limited edition (probably) and it will sell as well as ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 I will stick with my Pandas. Kind of amusing that they elected to put the metal rings around the lumed hour markers as they do on the subs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted May 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 I think these ones look fine, but as I've already got a 188 and 196 it would be silly to look for these too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swdivad Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 I really like them... hope they come to a store near us soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Especially the last one with the grey subdials... BEAUTY... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 I do like the different color subdials. But they figured that one out quite a while ago with the 162. And the Pandas, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know.. the 162 is also a beauty but in 40mm... What they think we are ? Girls? pfff... I also like the white Panda VERY VERY MUCH... as much as I hate the black dial with the silver subdials.. Too much contrast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomasng Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Mmmmm................... Black with grey subdials looks really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Doesnt the bezel looked brushed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lagae Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 I like the ivory color, although I don't care for the new dial layout. Just having that one '12' doesn't seem right. Although it's not like that company is asking for my opinion on the matter. I don't have a 188 yet, so perhaps I'll pick up a new rep in a few months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookoo Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 @ anybody thats been around awhile. How long does it typically take for the manufacturers to rep these PAMS. I suppose demand has all to do with it. I just would REALLY like to see these as a rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted May 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Shouldn't be too difficult as it's the usual Panerai tactic (scam?) to just make minor changes and put it out as a whole brand new watch while possibly discontinuing the previous model. Not sure if the old cases are still available for manufacture of these new 250s and 251s though ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promotersf Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 If they can get them in a 7753, I'll grab BOTH. I love my 196 7753, but have held off on the white 188 because of the hands...but these look solid. Any idea when? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwai02 Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 The 236 with grey subdials look really cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tech Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 I know.. the 162 is also a beauty but in 40mm... What they think we are ? Girls? pfff... the 162 is 44mm NOT 40mm as I almost bought one....so go get one...they are smokin. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 the 162 is 44mm NOT 40mm as I almost bought one....so go get one...they are smokin. cheers You are right.. the subdials spacing is different than the 40mm EL models. I wish I had the money my friend.. IF that was the case i would grab that in a milisecond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy1 Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Is it just the pic or all 3 chrono hands on the 162 the same length? i thought the bottom chrono hand was shorter on most of thier chrono models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
