Anyone know if a PAM 1662 is in the works?

This looks like a must have for me. Anyone know if one of the factories might have this in the works?

Mix of Carbon and titanium and and anthracite dial. Reminds me of the Omega Speedmaster dark side of the moon edition.

No, now this is not yet done, but everything may be soon. This is a fresh release from panerai, and I believe that VSF can repeat this. By the way, I also think this model is almost the most pleasant for my eyes in the releases of this year.

The look of sintered titanium may be harder to replicate. I'm all over this if VSF can rep it!!

Is the gen case DMLS or blasted TAV?

Hello! Could you decipher these abbreviations. As far as I knew it was just sandblasted titanium. Does one of the abbreviations correspond to it in dimo?

Direct Metal Laser Sintering
DMLS

It starts with a fine titanium power and a laser basically melts the powder granules together, a bit like a 3D printer.

Don't know if course grit blasting would match color as it looks like the process darkens the titanium?

Thanks for the answer! Exhaustive. As I understand it, this is a gen case production technology. It is unlikely that rep case will be produced in this way, I suppose it will be ordinary sandblasting. The difference in color of titanium can only be achieved with an oxide film, the thicker it is, the darker. Perhaps, with this method, under the influence of various factors, it becomes thicker and darker than with mechanical processing. But I suppose this difference is not significant, and during operation both cases with different technologies will be approximately equal in tone. The question is about the texture required, but I also see it pretty close.

Perhaps technologists working with metals will correct or supplement me.

Yes for the rep, bead blasting a titanium case will be very close for us. And the more intense the blasting the darker the metal will look - should be more than AP Chronopassion for example. I'm wanting this one also.

If the color is close to Bvlgari octo fenissimo, that would be enough for me. True, he also scratches mercilessly. It's good that the bezel is not titanium ...
