ravishingrick Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 Berathtaking watch... Panerai should be crapping in there pants... The small second GMT is probably one of the most difficult PAM's to make movement wise. The makers of this moddel have probably gone to extreme lengths to copy/modify a movement that supports a small seconds and a GMT indicator. If they can make this then they can make any PAM on the face of this earth... Check this thread out... http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=8721
longshot Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 Wow! I can see blue dial Pam 89 in my future
rek001 Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 I didn't care for the dial of the GMT very much - up until now. That is one gorgeous watch, especially Neils blue dial. But, with such a complicated movement, I wonder how stable the movement will be? Every time they try to copy a movement with compications, there are problems.
exper Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 Oh damn it not another one ! I was hoping the 187 would be the last for a while but here comes another one on wanted list
Indyclmbr Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 Good god that's beautiful! Just when I thought I had my small collection where I wanted it, they go and produce this. I liked the dial on TTKs too. Guess I'll be getting one of these when they become available, then I'll be done, until the next one comes out. One final question: What stage of paneritis is it when you begin considering selling off your rollie reps to buy a new panny rep?
thomasng Posted July 21, 2006 Author Report Posted July 21, 2006 What makes this watch awesome is the use of the reliable Asian 7750b1, so I suspect there shouldn't be much problem, no chrono function to muck it up to boot. Just get a good datewheel and cyclops, AR coating and crown and Panerai should [censored] their pants. Hell yeah I'm gonna get one of these, perfect match with my 029 which is recieving the datewheel, cyclops, relume, crown and AR upgrade.
swemoose Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 I've been waiting a long time for this one....
artoero Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 hmmm deamm, now I has to buy another one....I tought it was over after the sub...
Richard Tracy Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 Finally ! Now to wait for the reviews....
rek001 Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 Watchonpo's price is approx. $350, not bad really.
watcher Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 Awesome, this is my favourite PANNY!!!!!!!!! just needs a brown alligator strap and off we go!! I have always wondered why they could not copy this as the gen uses a 7750 modded movement.
Richard Tracy Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 This one came out from the blue... I was never expecting it to be repped, and therefore tried the 063, which I later sold, due to the black hands, which don't appeal to me. I will wait however till our dealers get ahold of it.... Hear that Andrew.. here's my chance to make up for not jumping on your quartz omega bandwagon... Like others here have mentioned,... I also thought my collection was complete... but I guess it never ends... We are going to be roasted until we're ashes.... or our wifes kick us out, with our plastic bag of cheap watches.... Thanks Admin.. also curses to you....
slpf Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 Wow! I can see blue dial Pam 89 in my future Not flawless....but nice Cheers
dadog13 Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 neverednding story...when we think that the fatories will make a little brek of releasing new models they come out with a new beauty!...i have no funds for a new watch right now...have to save money for the summer...
rek001 Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 Just wondering, so do you guys think this new GMT will drive down the re-sale value of the 2893 engine 029 and 063s?
fletch512 Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 Nice looking watches. Only flaws I see is that the GMT hand is a bit shorter then gen; the triangle on the GMT hand is slightly different in shape; the "swiss made" is supposed to be on either side of thte 12 marking, not beneath; and the usual date font and crown guard issues. Also, the PAM 89 has an anthracite dial, which is not the same as the rep's blue dial. Still, would be a nice watch once the price hits sub-$300.
V Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 Personally the 88 is in my three most ugly Panerais. Too busy dial PLUS the silver subdial on the black dial is a NO for me. Too much contrast. If you like it enjoy it
Finepics Posted July 22, 2006 Report Posted July 22, 2006 Just wondering, so do you guys think this new GMT will drive down the re-sale value of the 2893 engine 029 and 063s? Not necessarily - the 2893 is one of the best movts ETA make. This new PAM has the potential for conversion to ETA but at extra cost. The PAM 063 GMT is a must have watch, classic Panerai.

The PAM 063 GMT is a must have watch, classic Panerai. Whole heartily agree. I`ve had my 063 for 6 months now, and still loving it. Also I never gave much thought to mods on watches, but now seriously considering the upgrades on this one.
Watchmeister Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 I am curious to know whether the mechanism to drive the GMT is the same as in the gen since that is what they use. In theory you could put in a Swiss 7750 and have another original movement PAM.
KB Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 Has anyone noticed that it is in our own dealers area? http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=8805 Ken
