Hello,

Is there any decent Panerai Luminor R

That specific model is Ti-steel and there are no reps around.

A similar rep, but SS only and w/strap instead of bracelet, is common and quite inexpensive.

Similar is the 090, like that but no panda style, plain black subdial and PR scale. Some of these are a little more expensive due to a more accurate caseback.

All these reps are very good in their movement, but universally flawed with a quick-date-change push at 8Hr, and less than perfect placement of the date window and PR scale.

Thanks for your remarks, but could you explain me some of them, see below

Is ther any SS available anywhere else?

You mean a model as this one http://www.pam111.com/product_info.php?products_id=1020

or http://www.pc-80108.com/pn09002-bracelet-w...erve-p-399.html

Is not possible to find bi-color dial?

I cannot see the push at 8Hr? The date should more external? PR scale, you mean the graduation?

Thanks a lot

Why bereaving you of the pleasure to make your own good search once set on the right road?

But because of my poor English: yes, as PR scale I was meaning the PR gauge/graduation @5Hr.

Your answer ar part of my reasearch, and I run for time, and I can't wait to have a good watch... ;-)

thx a lot

... and I can't wait to have a good watch... ;-)

All those Seagull-2530 powered watches are really good watches.

Just, be warned, not 99% accurate to the gen, because of the already mentioned reasons.

Also the datewheel font might be considered as a flaw as too thin. But this actually affects 90% of the PAM reps.

On the other hand, date magnification is more than decent.

Best wishes on your hunt.

Thanks a lot.

Maybe a last question ;-)

there's no buying guide for Panerai?
