Can never have enough Carbotech casesI'd add this to the stable should they ever release it!
PAM 1039 Carbotech VSF Best Edition Dark Grey Sail Dial on Rubber Strap P.9010 Clone is available from intime. Don’t know if it’s just low res photos or if that sailcoth dial is really that bad.

Is that Luna Rossa GMT a rep? The dial looks much better than the VSF Submersible PAM01039 I’ve seen.
If it’s a rep, I might even buy one but I’m begging the for a high-end rep of the PAM01039 or, even better, the Regata PAM01038. Heck, the Chrono Flyback PAM01037 would also be nice.
The Luna Rossa watches are (almost) as pretty as their AC75. Buono Fortuna a Luna Rossa!
BTW does anyone actually think the dial is made from sail cloth?

Actually...the dials for Panerai’s Luna Rossa watch collection (except the 42mm GMT) ARE made from the sail material used by the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli team!
First, let me note that sails, and all racing sails, haven’t been made from canvas in eons. Nylon has been the fabric of choice but not for the new AC75s.
Rules for the 36th defense of the America’s Cup has a radical new take on boat design. The yachts are called the AC75 class. For this new class, the main sail (the big one) is not a single sail per convention but a sandwich of two sails that can be shaped to form something resembling a wing. Because the sails can be shaped, conventional sail making techniques and materials were not used. Instead, the new AC75 sails are actually molded filament sheets.
So...I was surprised to discover the dials on the Luna Rossa Chrono Flyback, Regatta, 44mm GMT, and Submersible watches are in fact made from sail material sandwiched with a Luminor dial; the 42mm GMT dial is sandwiched with Scafotech carbon fiber composite from Luna Rossa foils and hull materials.
I suppose I should be fair and point out the defenders, the Emirates Team New Zealand, also has commemorative watches that has been repped, the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m, and the Seamaster Diver 300m.
