42mm Submersible review on A Blog to Watch

[gsxcbr1]

As a small wristed Panerai fan I'm really excited about this release and eagerly anticipating a rep of the stainless steel ref 682. The proportions look great and I'm an absolute sucker for an exhibition case back . Nice review and photos up at A Blog to Watch:

I really hope this one get repped sooner rather than later! Anyone got any info if the factories are working on this?

A few more photos to drool over:

Yes please ... doubt will see it for awhile as requires effort beyond variations / upgrades of existing cases ... who knows perhaps a factory will also come to the same conclusion there is a bigger market to be found with some more reasonable 42 ... and this one is a classic in steel

Very interested in these as Subs are too big for me to pull off. Styling on neither one are really up my alley but, if repped, would possibly have to jump on one out of principle.

If they had a black (ceramic?) bezel on the steel model it'd be perfect.

Might get one as well even though I've disposed of every other 42mm PAM I've gotten. Just out of principle, that I love subs. Hehehe OP will probably come up with a smaller PAM389 next year, depending on the response to these two submersibles.

I wouldn't be surprised if Panerai developed these 42mm models specifically for the Asian markets where smaller wrists are the norm. I expect a 682 replica would do very respectable numbers globally! This 682 sub is #1 on my wish list...

OP actually already has announced a new pam 1305 and 1389, new thinner versions of the current 305 and 389 using the new p9010 movement as seen in the 1312 and 1359

I own a Grim-made 243 franken which I love - it's a great looking timepiece (often compared to cans of tuna I hear) but coming across the 42mm sub news I thought of buying the gen (SS) once it's out - looks almost as good as the 243 without being that thick; plus, I like the new lugs style. Good effort from OP - although I can comfortly wear a 47mm, I think this is a nicer everyday piece that will probably get caught on doors and the like not so often as is a tad thinner and significantly smaller

I do not like 42mm sumersibles. I can only see case and bezel.
I could better understand a 42mm Radiomir.

But OP has already made 42mm Radiomirs before.

Does anyone have any news on theses 42mm submersible (I've been holding back on my next purchase, waiting for theses beauties) as it seems to have gone quite.

I'm still waiting on the edge of my seat. Would be great if someone could at least confirm if one of the factories is working on it...

 

[kanok14]

I'm here waiting as well

Waiting to! Very excited

Panerai in 42mm don't work. The L2L gets shrunk and the watches just look weird isolated in the middle of your wrist. 44mm SUB would be perfect.

Completely makes sense if you have a larger wrist, but if you have a small 6.5" wrist like I do 42mm does not "look weird isolated in the middle of your wrist"! The 44mm subs are great, just too big for me. I can't wait for the 42mm sub

 

[Sirlordcomic]

Well I've got a flat 6.75 and they don't work for me, to each his own, wish they made a thinner 44mm sub.
