VS new products: Panerai PAM 1579, PAM1565, PAM1381

I thought the fish eye crystals were fixed a long while back.

+1 last few are without fish eye. I hope this one is also correct.

Just ordered 1565, 3 fkm straps and 1 leather strap.

Nope

The white dial is not textured like the gen one. Right?

 

[Reaps]

Looking forward to see more pictures from the ones that buys them. I like the gmt blue dial. Hopefully is great quality.

The blue GMT should be Titanium no? I think it's Ti on gen

Never was a fan of white dial watches, this changed my mind.

Can anyone translate and explain what the dealer means by "Obvious bug?" Is it the case thickness?

The genuine movement is p900, the vsf movement is p9000 The bug refers to the difference in calendar adjustment and movement thickness between the genuine product and the movement

Right! The one on the rep is not textured like gen

I hope they rep these boutique versions which I feel are much nicer.

Nowadays Panerai has far too many new models with similar features throwing onto the market leading to an almost brand ruining effect. Just look at how many Luna Rossa models they have.............

 

[Kup1712]

I don't mind the over inflated luna rossa line if the reps are coming

I have the 1579 on order.

Dial is correct I ordered the blue one because of the first photos with plain white dial.

 

[aHero]

Ah there is some texture. Nice!

 

[weathermanGTS]

I ordered the 1579 too... after having already 8 pieces of VSF 42mm Submersibles I got used to the thickness, knowing that won't get fixed in the near future anyway

 

[PecMan]

Don't forget to share pics when u get ur pams guys. I'm glad the dial is textured

Appears to be from a non TD with watermarked photos so I will not embed them in my post

Got my new 1579 Monday, frustrates the shit out of me that VSF is still using these garbage crystals. So I already tore it apart and ordered new crystal(s). Xtal needed is a double-domed 31.5mm OD x 1.8mm, which isnt a standard size. I ordered a 31.5mm x 2.0mm and a 31.0mm x 1.8mm w/ thicker gasket from eBay to see if one of those work before placing a custom order.

Also got my gen Panerai strap today, just delivered from FedEx. $330 later...somewhat comical that the strap costs almost as much as the damn watch. But for me, the small details matter.

Did you maybe measure the thickness? Would be great to know!

Yes, created a CAD file. Checking with a supplier to see if they can make me a small batch of 10-20 pcs.
