I love the nuance and the expertise that goes into selecting these pieces. Looks like a normal Panerai but has that special IT factor. For those who know
Wow, thanks for the history lesson and background info on the watch. $250k is absolutely crazy back in the day and it really reminds me of how many newer collectors in it for the wrong reasons don’t know about how brands come and go (Panerai, iwc, etc.) Really makes me wonder if RM and other newer hype brands are here to stay. On another note, I’ve recently noticed that with the market correction, obscure, “if you know, you know,” watches have taken off such as the early Chopard LUCs. Just a shame I couldn’t find one in the past year before this newer waves fully hits :/. Thanks for the vid!
I thought this was a joke video at first! There’s a steel titanium chronograph they make that would probably be the only Panerai I would even want to own.
Hi Steve, I checked out Cellini jewelers like you recommended. They had an amazing selection, but apparently MB&F is totally sold out. Anyway, keep up the great videos. If you are looking to improve your production quality, check out the UA-cam channel called forgotten weapons. He has mastered the art of presenting a small item on UA-cam in an interesting way. All the best
Fascinating story, almost makes the nautilus hype look reasonable in comparison. I just don't get the brand in general, it feels like such a hit and miss as to whether the watch is actually decent or has less attention to detail than their fakes. There's not much consistency model to model or year to year
panerai is quite controversial company to speak that high about any of their watches. they were proven fraud few times: showing fake watches at their instagram profile, found with seiko movement in them blah, blah. it is a nice watch but the reflections on the crystal let me down. sorry....

I enjoyed hearing about another hype watch from a different time. Never knew of this history.

Hi. Can I know your wrist size for reference? Thanks.

Nice one 👍🏽
Not a bad 1st PAM 🎉😊
Hey Steve, wondering if we could talk personally about watches sometime :)
Nice!!!
Jeez that's huge.

Yes, they are repeating fraudsters. Claiming in house movements on several occasions whereas these were cheap ETA.
That seconds dial is totally out of proportion and too small, the 233 is a far better model from that Era, this 203 goes for 30k now
