[apeogre]

I'm really excited to see what's new! I'm hoping for a sandwich dial 390 or maybe a 337 without a second hand.

Wow!! Thanks imran ...
a bronzo a black ceramic sub. A skeleton tourbillon black ceramic rad. A new movement and a ss. 1940Rad .


I feel we are in for a great show !!!

Stay tuned 3 hours to go

[kevbm]

SIHH 2013 novelties has been released on Panerai's website. Enjoy!

[imran16520]

and here they are, ceramic sub, bronzo rad 1940 ets...

the rad non date is 42mm

rad 1940 date is 47mm

[dr3ziz]

WoW WoW WoW !!
The 508 is my new grail ! black on black on some more black absolutly gorgous

the 507 Bronzo is exactly what we envisioned it to be

the 1940 base rad, was totally anti climactic ,, only 42 mm ?? why ??

need to see some wrist shot action ASAP !

[PatekCollector]

Nothing interesting!!!.

All specials are Subs!!!

[andyboy39]

Lovely looking pieces...

[masterkiller]

The only intresting is the black Sub, but 47mm is too big, the 1940s I do not get, it is just a Lume without the crownguard? or a beefed ut Rad, I much rather stay with the 44mm Base Luminors and the Base 45mm Rads....

Panerai do not impress me anyway...

[dr3ziz]

The Pam446 at 59mm tourbillon skeleton pocket watch is utter horological porn ...
i dont know how usefull it is but i can sit and watch it all day no problems

[Cru Jones]

hmmmmmmm........initial thoughts, that i am sure will change over time.

507? well, the rumors really were true. if they were going to break their "no plans for bronze" promise, they should have made it more exciting and special than a 382 with a power reserve, IMO. blatant cash grab and middle finger to the collectors (but, those that want a bronze PAM will be happy, i suppose).

508? mean looking and cool. too big for me, though.

1940s collection (512-514)? need to see these in real life. my initial reaction is that the 47mm will be a tad too big & thick for me, while the 42mm will be too small. i would have loved a 45mm 512 without the fauxtina. as a dress piece, the 513 will be nice, but, at the likely price point, i'm not sure.

530? we've seen it already, but, still makes a positive impression on me.

524, 525, 526? 'eh....i like the colors on the 526, but, these don't do much for me. and the fauxtina on the 524 doesn't work for me.

364? yawn....

hey, at least panerai's SIHH 2013 website section is great!

[travisb]

Some nice intros , but nothing that jumps out at me. At least not yet.
Exciting times none the less.

[MP5]

I see Panerai has no idea what is a Panerai anymore. The vomit inducing 1950 case is the worst thing this company has done followed closely by putting dates on Radiomirs and faketina and that useless in house auto they like to shove in anything, Are people buying these things anymore? Go back to your roots Panerai, who are you?

[MP5]

They have eroded the value of nearly all SEs for the past few years and have so many different watches they might as well have none. Look at this new gem of a erector set movement

Agree

[Cru Jones]

MP5, that was a pretty strong reaction! i'll go over it....

really? not following.

not something i get too worked up about. i guess i like the date function, but, the "pure DNA!!" crowd doesn't.

with this i agree 1,000%!

yes, seems like they are doing quite well for themselves.

isn't that basically last year (372/422/SLC/cali dial)? and the idea behind the 1940s case? if anything, i thought they were pushing the "history" side too much. good to see the 508, 526 and 530. faketina? not so much.

[apeogre]

I'll be getting a 512 as soon as they are available. For those of you who are personally insulted by Panerai's new watches, relax! Please, they're just watches.

[Psmith]

I'm still waiting for the 2012 models to rock up...

[S``]

If this makes the 382 sell @ a reasonable level. I'd take it

[jvo300]

Initial impression -- not impressed.

[terrywoods]

The good news is I don't like any of the new models so won't need to sell a kidney to get one

[kilyung]

Hmmm. Rather disappointed that's it. The 508 is nice at $14k and something i might look at. The 446 is crazy at $177k. Gorgeous but crazy. As for the 507, is it regular production? I'd buy a used 305 and swap the cases.

[Travelller]

Well, I stand corrected. On several accounts...

I said there couldn't possibly be a bronzo with PR, but there it is... *sigh*

I also said a ceramic 305 wouldn't be interesting... well, heck... I LIKE IT!!!

But the real winner is the 364... 2500M!!!

Disagree. Strongly.
How many "true" submersibles (1000M+) has Panerai made... <10? How many with a rating of 2500M... 2? I think the 364 is the winner here...

Mike, I saw on the website 507, and 508 as SE

[B. Doggy]

Nothing jumps out at me.
