Authentic vintage-build Panerai?

[rusalkamoto]

Hi guys,
I have been always a fan of 40-50's classic Panerais. Cali dial, anonym dial (as today's pam721) or just the "original" Radiomir (as the Ref. 3646) from that period. I would really have liked to buy one but it seems like no factory makes them. I often see some attempts at vintage pams in the sales section but they are always off, one's own creative ideas always implemented, never really accurate. Either funny looking/inaccurate dial, or non-matching hands, etc.

Did you guys ever see a classic build similar to the ones that were used by the Italian Navy back then? Either NOS-looking or aged.
Maybe these are such a collectors items in the rep-world also that the Average Joe may never see them?

I wanted to post include some photos but clickpix is down

Cheers!

You wont find those from any factory but yoiu will find them as custom builds. You can also reach out to @Belkin12 or @Natas78 to see if they're able to commission build one for you. Barring that, check your PM for an additional site you can visit.

Ah, then my gut feeling was correct. Thanks for the tags, I know Belkin builds some great authentic PreV and PreA pams, as well as fantasy pieces.
