Very nice indeed! So they made a run of 20 of the 10 day movement, 150 and 50 for the Taipei edition? 3 collections correct? What's the main differences between the 150 edition and 50?

Shade · 18 June 2011, 11:25 PM

I think me meant to type 150.. I never heard of them making it in 50.. But then again I could be wrong..

Actually it is 50 just have a look at the number on the Caseback in his pic... XX/50. Just goes to show these limited versions are pretty unique LoL!

Shade · 19 June 2011, 12:29 AM

Oh yeah!! My mistake!

the 413 and I think the one from Geneva were only released in 50 pieces...

With these boutique pieces, if you have some emotional attachments to the places, then its pretty special (numbers aside). The 413 is a keeper as I was born there and I am awaiting the 416 as its my hometown.

Most boutiques ended up with 2 SEs. One that is a base and another that has an inhouse 8 or 10 day PR.

texex91 · 19 June 2011, 01:30 AM

When they put a boutique in Texas I will get that piece

I am surprised though they don't have one in Chicago or Texas (not to mention Singapore).

Anybody got one of those in the collection?

That's the one I was talking about

Quite a bit more pricey than the 416 but stunning nonetheless

Shade · 19 June 2011, 03:56 AM

Just wondering though, why only 50 for Taipei?

20? Thats about as rare as it gets... I'm still waiting for panerai to decide they should open a boutique in Canada!

Panerai has made smaller editions for sure.

PAM 349 12 pieces and a beauty with Minerva movement...That's micro edition

Shade · 25 June 2011, 02:45 AM

I must say the 349 makes the 249 and 232 seems like an ordinary watch..

ocwatching · 25 June 2011, 03:01 AM

When that 349 was "soft" released, it caused a lot of ruckus within the risti community. Both the way it was released and the controversial dial.
One of 12, you can imagine how many collectors were upset at not being selected.
(hmmm...kinnda remind me of certain other PVD base piece)...

The Minerva movement is a thing of beauty...

I was lucky enough to get one of these beauties. My first domed crystal panerai and I love it! Are you coming to the Montreal GTG next week? If so, you will see it

Evo-L · 20 July 2011, 07:58 AM

I guess if your are looking for a specific one they would be considered "rare", but if you just want one of the boutique editions they are not that limited. What do they have 5 or 6 boutique editions? I dont really know but am guessing by the model numbers I have seen...

6 boutiques @ 150 ea. = 900 pieces...

They made less 176's per year... Hence why the prices are dropping on those boutique "LE's" daily...

EDIT: I think they are great and would love to pick one up... for list though. A few weeks maybe :-)

ocwatching · 20 July 2011, 08:42 AM

The key words are "per year"

For the Boutique editions, you get approximately 900 total this year and not again. The 176 is a current production and not discontinued.

Good luck in your hunt!

Right, but you get my point.

RRM1020 · 27 July 2011, 09:41 PM

I just took in a 416. Interesting watch.
I really like the unique vintage look. The oem strap was too short for me, I am sending to BHB for a swap to a larger one. Can't wait.
I have been wearing it on an oem JV. That brings out the patina on the numbers.
Great watch.
