Gold slytech??
Can anyone shed some light on this rumor?? I have heard that there was a single 47mm Slytech Luminor Submersible in 18k (yellow or rose) gold... and of course it's in Sly's possession... there's only one.
Can anyone confirm this, and if so show a pic or a link to this. Thanks |

BTW - Here's another topic for you. Any idea why Panerai made one 47mm submersible (PAM00187) out of stainless steel and all the rest from titanium? It's also the only one with a quick date change mechanism on the side of the case and has a full chrono function. I bought one awhile back and not only is it my daily wear... it's an indispensable work tool as well. |

the date function was left on the 250,251,236,188,196,162,168,187,224,310,327,326 it's now been replaced by the in house p9100 movement which is pretty much a p9000 movement with a chrono module bolted on, if you look at the 524/525 notice the date has moved to the normal position and the chrono buttons are on the other side. With the crown guard of the luminor, having the buttons on the same side as the crown guard was always a bit of a compromise, hence the in house movements they're on the left. Material wise i suspect it's as simple as weight, the 187 weights in at 220g making it one of the heaviest watches, hence why they went over the titanium for the rest of the 47mm submersibles as the 187 was the first one to be released. It also explain why the 341 when released was in titanium rather then the original steel |

Titanium just works better on a 47mm Sub IMO.
Has great balance to it, where as I think SS would be too top heavy. Also, the corrosion resistance of TI makes it ideal for under water use. |

I can say just one thing about the slytech watches, I would never buy a watch on the back of which is a signature of Sylvester Stallone, for me it's quite ridiculous, but that just my opinion...

The man loves Panerai, after all it's a "heroic watch" with a history no other brand can match. He became an ambassador to the Officine, used his "star-power" to push it out into the light and helped make it what it is today... so, they honored him by producing Slytech's. I'd love to have one!!
