And then sold it within a few days of purchase,I have had an uncontrollable urge to get more Panerai's!!
The watches look so freaking cool that it plagues my waking mind!..
The only problem is,the new sapphire crystal models dont do a thing for me..I had to go and get infected with the vintage Rolex movement Panerai's!!
of course..the most expensive Panerai there is!!
but there's just something about that beautiful plexiglass dome in contrast with a nice MM' dial (I like the plain dials without a sub seconds or anything like that)that makes this watch scream "I am TUFF & BEAUTIFUL!"..lol
yep...I'm infected..
I just put myself on the waiting list for the soon to be released Luminor 1950 (aka..PAM 372) 3 day..
that is one beauty!!
plexiglass dome..vintage charm,with the longevity of a brand new watch!
anyone know the projected cost of one of these?

You have one of those!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, project cost of 372 is $10,100

stevemulholland3 · 29 March 2011, 12:41 PM

thats as cheap as chips compared to the vintage model!!
I might get one for each arm!..lol

I had the rare opportunity to put a piece of history on my wrist and I totally agree... Nothing beats these vintage beauties

Congrats Steve on a major piece! Wear it in good health...

Funny how we say 10,000 dollars cheap on a two handed watch! ;-)

6152-1 is an amazing watch. I wish i could afford one, it's probably running around 120k these days if you can find one.

Awesome, Steve! Good to see another convert. They are fantastic and there is just nothing else out there like Panerai.

SubKing · 30 March 2011, 02:56 AM

the 372 is deff a great buy.. im very glad panerai has made it a regular production watch on their line up, this way everyone who loves the watch can have a chance to get one at some point.. if not this year then next year ect..

10k is a little steep considering what the 372 has to offer, but who am i to talk after purchasing this bad boy..

but the 372 is perfect because it can be worn everyday. it deff has that vintage charm. it is so close to the original being all the specs have stayed the same including the plexi crystal..
the 372 is the best bang for the buck compared to buying an original vintage for sure.

but im just confused as to why panerai priced the watch at 10k when its a regular production.. if it were a SE then 15k to 20k would be understandable for the 372, but since its a regular production, i think 8k for this watch would have been a bit more logical. it's like a 312 but without as many functions.. thats just my 2 cents.

what will panerai come up with next? seems like they have come out with too much too soon to the point that they have launched every model from the past, what will be next as panerai never has repeated a SE watch?

if they went the last step and used a Rolex movement in them then you would see an instant collectible born once again!

Steve, that is a beauty~

Steve, I'm confused. You had a 6152 MM dial for a few days but sold it? If I could ever afford one, I don't think I could bring myself to sell it.
