Panerai Special Edition Boxes.

[chromed.]

They are not that cheap but are they any good in terms of quality?

e boxes.? i guess it pretty standard watch boxes.. MDF wood with laminates to mimic e pearwood effect.. as for e insert in the box, its cardboard covered in either velvet or suede.. i stripped my apart&sanded it down..so i knw..haha..

as for e inserts, they might be costly due to materials used.. e 6piece is priced at about 200usd.. i expect e 4piece to be around 150usd..

 

[Darthmemnoch]

Hmmmn... I wonder if anyone has one made of proper pearwood and how much it would cost?

Box details have been finalized with the company. Now all I have to do is pay $200 for the sample. Arghhhh that's a bit too much for something I don't even know will look properly. Will see if I can pay only after I see some photos of the finished product (and get it shipped to me of course)

tts great news, Q! do post info as well about what details did u request.. did u make a 6 or 8 holder.?

It's basically the exact same box but with a 6 watch holder. I'm still a bit hesitant about that front metal plate. The gen one has a key that goes in there and locks the box but the one I am working on will not have this feature so I'm wonder whether to have them make a faux hole there or engrave the OP logo there instead.

This is what I'm talking about:

Don't mind the size, I just made it bigger for the company so they can have it engraved properly. It is of the correct proportions only about 4.5 times bigger

 

[kaniel]

I think 8 holder would be better looking and better selling.

Panerai fans have more than 6 PAMs...

i'd go for replacing e hole with e logo..no point having a faux hole.. e logo looks better..

well, u cld always get a couple, categorize ur collections.. 1box for pam lum, another for rads, another for subs, etc etc more reason to fill them up..hahaha

If this is of interest to anyone I know a chap in the UK who is selling these boxes for about £50 each. Obviously they are not trying to be Panerai but they have a similar look and are very well made and a reasonable price. I have two for my watches. Let me know if anyone is interested.

 

[chromed.]

bump for an update

 

[davemul]

desperately want a 6 or 8 holder in the Panerai style!

 

[smascarinas]

I guess someone could probably just make Panerai plates for these and it would be all good!

[kaniel]

the only reason I haven't bought one of these boxes is that I like the black inside.

Like this one

 

[QinetiQ]

This one isn't happening fellas. The factory minimum order quantity is 500 pieces and I have to pay for them upfront. That's over $15,000 and honestly, I'm not gonna pay that when I know a maximum of 50 boxes will actually sell

 

[TESLA760]

Damn. That's a heck of a minimum

 

[chromed.]

no prob, Q.. I'll contact edge for some help..he managed to get e AP ones made..
