Panerai 89 Titanium

[gtd]

I'm going nuts for the 89 Ti, I would like some opinions and thoughts...
Any actual pics of this watch out there?
Does Josh and Andrew have the same pic on their stores?

Thanks for the help. Great community! 8)

I just received a mail from Pure Time with a better dial, you should check him out.

That watch is pretty much perfect except for a few things:
1. GMT hand - wrong shape and too big
2. Movement suspect - both good and bad reviews.

Other than that - great dial now.

Here is a picture of mine from River. Precious Time has the new dial. I'm hoping to get just a dial to to complete the mods on mine but it is so new, he cannot source just the dial.

here is Takashi's pic of the new dial (borrowed from his post )

Mine is about 4 months old, I really don't see any difference in the old and new. But, I'm not all that good at disecting the differences anyway. What are the differences?

 

[dluddy]

One difference. The original dials had a missing minute tick at 9:00 between the 18 mark and the subdial.

New dial has the tick mark

You are correct!!

DOES IT MATTER? :lol:

Is there any AR on the new 89 Ti? Any info on the cyclop and date font how close is it to the Gen?

Hello guys, I've just received an email from Pure Time, very fast reponse by the way. And here are a couple pics of the new dial for the PAM89 titanium, let me know your opinions?
Thanks

Holy crap! I didn't know there was a new dial. How much is this thing?

Ummm - yes. If you don't know it should be there, it isn't a problem.

But once you know, you won't be able to look at the watch without thinking that it looks like a beautiful woman smiling at you.

With a missing tooth.

Great pictures. Great watch. Bad GMT hand.

Yes agree. The GMT hand is a sure giveaway that it is a rep. it is too big!

 

[turbogt]

Why can't they fix that hand?

Would it be possible to source a gen?









Guess not...

 

[cskent69]

Gen hand is not possible as this is a rep 7750 with GMT added. The makers will have to fix the hand - but i think that will be unlikely.

THis GMT hand looks the same as the new Arktos and Northpole GMT hand (which is correct for those watches)
