panerai automatic pam00048

[JackPine]

Does anyone have experience with the Panerai Luminor Marina? Some of the dials say "Automatic" under the PANERAI and some do not. Also, I think the movement is OP III caliber. Any thoughts or opinions are appreciated.

Thank You

The “automatic” on the dial belongs to more recent models; not sure of the exact year, but at some point they started including that. Same is true for the white dial PAM00049, which is discontinued. I think (though not 100% sure) that the inclusion of “automatic” on the dials coincided with switching from the old screw lugs to the current push-pin system.

Thanks for your input! I saw one at SAMS on sale for $4990.00. Seems like a decent price when compared to new ones on the internet.
