When I look at my 20+ years watches,I see them as timeless classic
Rolex 16570 from 1995/1996 and Pam 23A from 1998 shown
We gotta wait at least 10 years (maybe in 2030??) to see how the now-recent panerais with pop of color will age... |
The blue is Panerai's signature color like green is to Rolex. The LVc Sub took alot of heat initially and no one wanted it. I bought mine below msrp.
My personal style is I like a touch of the Panerai blue on my "big black watch" This is why the 661 speaks to me. That said, if money was endless, I would own a Pam 616 even at 47mm because in a large dive watch, it looks so damn aggressive and in-your-face.
Hard to capture the rose gold hue but it looks very upscale in a high tech sort of way. Warm red flashes from the hands and markers as it moves in the sunlight. I cant capture it yet in still pics. It was a pleasant surprise I typically associate with my CHNR. Even my wife which is more conservative with jewelry coined the phrase "masculinity expensive looking" when she handled the 661 Carbotech. I think thats a accurate non-WIS description.
