I hope so! I’ve been hesitant to get the 47mm diver. This one hits the spot!

Yes, I’m thinking, they will repeat it. The case will be thicker, but we’ve got used to it last year. It would be nice if the color of the markers is correct and then everything will be fine. In general, the year of luminaries sounds promising for me.

I love the strap too. I’ve been searching for a gen Velcro strap with that same textile and blue stitch but can’t find it anywhere.

It’s strange that more factories don’t get into replicating Panerai watches. I’ve been told they are selling very fast. All new noob pam111 v5 are almost all sold out and we won’t see them anytime soon - we probably won’t see another batch or version of pam111 at all.
Panerai replicas are fastest selling watches on M2M.

Well, for the old factories to enter new models, you need to offer alternatives to vsf clones, which apparently is not so simple. Although, the average cost of repeating new panerai models has become clearly higher.

You won’t see any new releases anytime soon.

Is it because of the coronavirus you mean? I saw the factories are shutting down for an extended period after the holiday. Any other news?

yes it’s because of coronavirus.
As soon as factories reopen I will be notified.
They should reopen soon but just for td to get available stock but they won’t be producing anything until that whole thing with the coronavirus is under full control.
most of the factory workers are advised to stay home. It’s seems that people in the US and EU are freaking out about that whole thing more that people from China. The chance of getting infected is very slim and if one get infected it usually takes one week to get well.

Can't wait for this one to be available. It is stunning. The carbotech look in a smaller package.

Yes, for those who like this direction of panerai, it would not be bad. But, unfortunately, repeating a unique 49mm case for one model in a row, I believe inadmissible luxury ...

Makes sense. Let's hope for more 49mm models in the future. Though it would barely fit on my wrist!
