WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME U SEE A PANERAI WITH SWEEPING SECOND HAND?????In Tropic Thunder, Tom Cruise wears what is obviously a Panerai, but not a typical model. It is the Panerai PAM 63 GMT Luminor. It is one of the few Panerai watches I know that lacks a subdial, as most (but not all) Panerai models typically place at least the seconds hand in a subdial. This particular PAM 63 GMT has a jet black face (obsidian shiny with a gentle horizontal line texture) a highly polished steel case. The dial has a good deal of markings on it, which might be considered cluttered in Panerai terms, as the standard look of Panerai faces is spartan to say the least. The GMT hand has a dedicated set of numerals around the out dial from 1 to 24. I really like this, as it adds to the legibility of the GMT function, but the smaller size of the GMT arrow ensures it does not get into the way. You also have a date window with an upside down magnifier lens, and a large seconds hands. The hour hands are in Panerai's modern style with only the tips and edges visible, a really nice technical look. As the Luminor name attests, the superluminova applied all over the watch is thick and bright when it needs to be. In the movie, Cruise wears one with a glossy polished black leather or possibly crocodile (more often with a glossy finish) strap
LESSON 1 IN WATCH COLLECTING ALWAYS CHOOSE THE RARE ONES !!!!!!
our price $9,500( watch is 95% mint ) full box & papers ! more rare than a age 80 grandma passing IPPT !
if u r already prepared to get a piece of pam 88 at $9k range why not get this piece ?
one it is totally discontinued (current model is pam 88)
two totally different movement (Eta 2893/2)
three the case is thinner (as movement is thinner)
four cheaper maintaneous (current Valjoux 7750 is a chrono movement & is slightly more costly to service)
five no aging hands problem as they are blacken (current model have this problem as they are not white gold like rolex)
six it's senior models pam 23 & pam29 cost 3-5k more ! so this piece is more value
seven it has no 24 hours marking on the bezel like the pam 23/29 so it can be polished vice-versa !!!!!
eight its resale value is super good & stable better than any watch i have known in this price range better than buy shares /fixed deposits !
oh what the hell ! i might just keep it for myself !
