UncleJay Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I found these pics of my PAM0036 dials. I dropped in on my watchmaker/friend while he was doing sevice on some of my pieces. He happened to have both 36s apart so I snapped these pics, hope you enjoy. Notice the difference in the font and the finish on the back side.

peepshow Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Wow, an L 036 dial! That is a rare bird, indeed! Thanks for sharing Jay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleJay Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Only 1 that I know of. much like the gloss 24 dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweattdogg Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I've heard/read that there were only 3 L dials made. Jay do you know if that is true? If so that dial is very rare indeed. Awesome to see that at least one in fact exists past the notorious model pictured on the Panerai website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Interesting how much I prefer the printing on the t dials irrespective of the number differences. I don't know why that is. I see the same thing when I compare the base black t versus l dial versions. Needless to say, fabulous dials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milsub5517 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Uncle Jay, could you please take good close up pictures of your rare gen dials (straight shots) and post them here on RWG? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishgodeep Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 T & L Dials.....well that answers one long running debate thanks Jay... Now how about the dial on your shadow PAM 40....this looks like an A/B T Dial and I thought the PAM 040 had a pre-vendome T dial with the quirky 6 and 9's ? Does your 040 sport another rare and unique dial combo ? Best FGD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt.watch.obsessive Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Boy, you got it bad Jay. I love it! Plus all our 036 reps suddenly got a lot better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbell6 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 @alt.watch.obsessive I think I like your avatar better than his dials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt.watch.obsessive Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 The two Ts are certainly easier to spot than on an 036 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babola Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Wow, and all this time some of us thought the infamous L-dial 036 MM was just a myth, and didn't exist in the wild except for those photos in OP brochures and official Web site. Thanks for dispelling that one for us UJ. ...or could it simply be that 036 L-dials are one you now get installed in your gen 036 at service centres? Could OP ran out of 036 T-dial as replacement spares? Who realy knows... @fishgodeep - yup, PAM040 certainly came in both pre-A and B-series T-dial flavors, reportedly more 040 with B-dials were produced, how many it's hard to say as the series (200 pieces) was realy small. cheers, babola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually have one of those!!,,, NOS, never in a watch,, the back is identical to yours,, I've been wondering what in the world it was worth,, Someone had one offered for sale on a Panerai website for $3000,, But no pics of it... You think they'd be worth that much Jay?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you send you tritium based PAM for servicing and a tritium component needs replacement they shall replace the whole configuration with luminova parts without notice... If you send your tritium dial watch with a notice not to replace the hands and dial with luminova parts they shall not service your watch.

If a 22/26 L dial has around 800 euros I guess the 36 L dial is around double that because of the rarity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
