Buckle Question

[vlydog]

I have seen many Panerai lovers sporting the pre-v style buckle on their straps but fewer seem to have the thumbnail style. Which Panerai models were sold with the thumbnail style? Is it a matter of taste or were there certain models that came with thumbnail?

Thanks, Vlydog

to my knowledge, i know the 063 sports a thumbnail buckle.......anything else......well i'm not sure.

From A to G series the thumbnail buckle was standard, except for the 005 which started with the G-series.From H onwards it was the Pre-V style buckle.

But many PAM-fans chose the Pre-V or similar since there is much more choice with straps in 24/24.

The thumbnail (Adrillion) buckles were standard on all handwind models from A to G series. These were later changed to the new Pre-V style. The 0 and 5 Logos were changed later during the H series.

Handwind Model Buckles:

Pre-A: 22mm sewn-in (24X22)

A-Series: 22mm Adrillion (aka thumbnail) with two screws (24X22) very few were made of these

A-F Series: Adrillion (aka thumbnail) with one screw (24X22)

G Series on: Pre-V style (with screw) (24X22)

PAM0000 and 0005 changed from Adrillion to Pre-V style in H Series.
