I know.. Joshua has told us this a couple of weeks ago that it was at the end of production.

He will have it soon. :)

Definitely a new CDG movement ... just like the engraved movement with the fat pointer for the swan neck. :thumbsupsmileyanim:

And it's ETA - you can just see the stamp under the balance wheel - nice!! Also the winding gears are much better finished on these new movts (G series as well) and exactly like the gen.

too bad the 1936 has 'california' on the dial

from what i heard it won't be on the production version of the dial

I like the california on the dial - I know the gen will not have it but I think that was a mistake on Panerai's part they should have kept it.

They also seem to have L Swiss L on the dial but they are at least 47mm :frusty:

I'd swear i saw a pic posted of a gen 2006 california dial w/ "Panerai" printed on the dial--did that not make it into production?

and should they make the swansneckregulater and lin make black like original?

That movement is sooooo close, if they could just get the font thinner and smaller for the "officine panerai" it would be perfect.

Finally.......yes!

Hopefully they did a real 47mm case and not that 46mm-something thingy.

I will be in for the CaliDial and/or the standard base....just to compare with my other Rad´s (ExWMs Rads all 3 models and the shitty smaller china-molnija) I got.

If HonPo sells for 38k Yen......we will see it in some days popping up for around 300$....and this has to be SWISS Unitas with swan neck!

When theres also a China6497 version available, I go for that cheaper model.......cause I will try to attach a ss-back anyway!

DEALERS COME UP WITH THIS MODEL..........QUICK PLEASE!!!!!!

My exact thoughts with this. The blue hands will definately come off and be replaced with gold. I will also fix the pin and perhaps keep the dial overnight in some motor oil. B)

This should really be a step up from the 1938a, which is around 600 USD used. Mostly because of the size being 47mm as opposed to the 1938 which is only 45.
