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

love it...

I miss my 190 very much.....

jcatral14 · 3 October 2009, 08:52 AM

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

GoreX5 · 3 October 2009, 09:00 AM

very tempting

marshallr47 · 3 October 2009, 01:16 PM

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*

jcatral14 · 9 October 2009, 02:39 AM

How much do they go for? Is it a current model?

Yeah the only downside is that you only get to do it every 8-10 days!!!!

jcatral14 · 10 October 2009, 10:12 AM

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

Just a curious Q. Can't you wind it midway thru the power reserve?

You can but it just feels so good to sit down once every 8 days and smoothly and slowly wind her up. Very satisfying, its an event rather than a neccesity. Winding a watch regularly doesnt have the same effect.
Call me sad but ask anyone who has the 8 day
