Anyone know if a Panerai 659 is in the works?

I highly doubt it — the “shark tooth” indicator has not been done correctly and for some reason the 1940s Rads have not been very popular. There’s just too many functions on this piece to expect a good rep in my mind...

Thanks for your thoughts mate, that makes a lot of sense... hopefully one will show up in my lifetime!

Your best bet is really going gen -- the 323 can be had for relatively cheap. The problem with the 659 or 625 is the gold aspect. There is never going to be a rep that is considered NWBIG that is gold or rose gold. If you can go stainless, we might get a rep one day, but that's likely a long time coming. The good news is that the gens depreciate relatively quickly so if and when a rep comes out, the gen may be at a number worth pursuing.

Excellent point! I'll be keeping an eye on Chrono24 for falling prices. Thanks again mate.
