I will probably sell them kilowattore I need influx of cash at moment for gen purchase but wow forgot he’d these stored safely! They are now rare for sure! And as stated worthy for sure of epic builds!

would the “master” kilowattore be interested?

The 002 is in L so more a later 002b than a 002a but very nice treasure

ROLI sold them as a 002a series at close to 500.00 with shipping and he is the pinacle of Dial making for Panerai so I had no reason to question him!

These are rare as hen's teeth and unfortunately, these will never be back in production (rest in peace Rolli).

 

[superspark69]

The top dial is the 002a which is also same as 009a and the second is 002b

 

[superspark69]

there were also a few tritium dials in the B series 002a at the start of the b series run.

Did he pass away or just quit making them??

he has passed sadly

Top dial is tobacco so i think its a 005/036 dial, second dial is 002b.

005 and 036 have second dials so can't be them, I think its just lighting that makes it look less black and more tobacco? I think its deffinatel 002/009 a series

Sorry to be the bringer of bad news, but as superspark has confirmed, yes. Here's the thread.

SuperSpark is right, first one is 002/009 A series, second one must be 002b. He made few luminova dials, I didn't know he made the 002b.

When Rolli first made the 002/009a, alot of the forum experts gave him grief about the length of the 9 and 6 curved tail. He ended up selling these at a discount. I’m glad I got mine. RIP Rolf.
