Panerai Pam 190 JLC 8 Day
Is it the Black, Sandwich dial, L-Dial Accented by gorgeous gold hands and sub seconds displayed at 9 o'clock
Or is it the 8 day JLC Movement 45 mm, one of the finest movements put into any Panerai watch. Is it that you can see through the exhibition case back the 8 day indicator! Is any watch is better looking! An 8 day, hand wound JLC movement is used in the PAM190, and it winds up like butter. It features 13¼ lignes, 33 jewels, Côtes de Geneve decoration, bridge with indication of power reserve, burnished blued screws, balance spring adjusted by micrometer screw, swan-neck regulator, double spring barrel, 28,800 alternations/hour, and of course a power reserve of 8 days. Panerai 190 was launched in 2004 and ceased production in 2006. Only 2050 were made. - With the JLC Addition securing it place in Panerai history forever Rare, Desirable, Top of any Paneristi's list & In My Humble Opinion Perfect in every way |

Normally don't like simple faces but that is something else And the sapphire case back always gets me
So JLC supplied the movement for this watch? I'm sold

Me too!!!! I mean, I miss yours Bryan!
I wish I had the money to buy it and knew it was for sale. The 190 is one of the 4 I'm considering next. It is also the most expensive one that I'm considering right now. *sigh*

If anyone has $27k to spare, the Panerai Boutique in NYC has a rose gold 190 available
