Thank you! I've been waiting to hear your thoughts regarding these new Panerai
At first I reacted strongly against it, as I had too much expectation on Panerai, re-issuing Mare Nostrum in a more wearable size 45/47, and the fact that they mixed these historical dial with complications..
But the more I look at them, especially the 2533 style dial, the more it grows on me.. They reminded me a lot to Panerai's approach on "fine" watchmaking, in the early Vendome era, like PAM 65, 67 precious metal case with fine vintage movement. Not just playing around with "historic" pieces.
I really think they did a really good job on this one… In term of building a whole new watch
The downside, really is the price… It's close to the price of the new Datograph in Pt and the gold one is as expensive as Patek Philippe's gold 5170s..
Thanks again for the review Nicolas! I'm looking forward to see these pieces in metal
