That's the first time I think I've seen a root beer bezel with a black dial. What year is that GMT?

Right, and if you think that one is interesting, take a look at this:

Well, except that one says is has a root beer dial. But why is the bracelet missing? Maybe that's why the price is so low. :rofl:

Probably. I think the dial is dark brown, rather than black. I was wary of it at first, but I do think it is genuine. Its impossible to tell if any of the watch is after-market or not.

An interesting piece, to be sure. For the price, I could get a Bark DD, though! :agree: :rofl: :rofl: :chuckle:

[Prince]

Yes, Dennis' most recent acquisition. But for ME, the one he traded for that one is my heart's desire!!! One like this:

Don't ask me why, except that it doesn't just smile at me - it throws love and kisses at me!!! http://idisk.mac.com/reichea/Public/smilies/00001634.gif

Nice 1675 watch looks like small hands pointy crown guards from around 1960-64 what is the cal movement.

Wonderfull old GMT! Love the inclosed minute track!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[mailman]

You have some nice stuff Maurizio :thumbsup:

[mailman]

That's the first time I think I've seen a root beer bezel with a black dial. What year is that GMT?

Ed, I could be wrong here but I think the bezel insert on the 5513 turned that color over the years. I recall seeing a few other examples of this elsewhere. Maybe Mike or Padi can chime on this one.

[mike]

Ed, I'm with padi on the age of the GMT. Early 60s-- 60 to 64 time frame.
The watch has several charaterists that date it to circa this era.
1. The dial has an enclosed minute ring--indicative of GMTs that followed the 6542.
2. The dial is marked "SWISS" rather than "SWISS-T<25.
3. the biggie--pointed crown guards. These were indicative of early GMTs

As to the brown bezel insert, I have seen a few on 5513s and 5512s and one 1680. Not sure what caused this, but I'm inclined to agree with Paul--something in the pigment of the paint caused it.

[officinementali]

i must learn english. because now i'm so interest about all your asnwer.

do you like this A serial ?

[mailman]

I like your Daytona Maurizio. :thumbsup: I like the black dial Zenith Daytona.

[Otis]

Panerai is a dangerous territory. you must be a deep expert of panerai. if not is a big problem

No expertise needed at all... just passion for the brand and the willingness to wear a small wall clock on your wrist. Like most Paneristi, I'm overcompensating for other issues. :chuckle: :dummy:
