SIHH 2019: Luminor Submersible 1950 Carbotech 42mm + new Bronzo
Hello to you all,
I am new to this forum, long time lurker, but newly registered. Let me first introduce myself: I have been a Rolex guy for the last 30 years, my first Rolex being a TT SUB NR, and my last one a Pepsi 126710BLRO. For all those years, I have been a loyal Rolex costumer, with the occasional cheating with AP along the way, but those were short lived romances. The path that Rolex is taking lately, and after receiving my BLRO in early November (I ordered it on the same day it was presented at Basel in March), I decided that it was my last Rolex. I will talk more about this decision in a different thread though. So, to make a long story short, I bought my first Panerai right after quitting Rolex, and lo and behold, I caught the PAM virus.. not only I fell in love with this beauty, I have the urge to start collecting those fine pieces.. since this fatidic moment, I started researching every aspect of the objects of my desire.. which leeds us to my post. Through my contacts, I was able to get the following informations: 1- A new Bronzo will be announced, but that information was already in the air. 2- A new Luminor Submersible 1950 Carbotech 42mm will be announced. It will most likely have the P.9010 calibre. Now, being a first time poster, it is legitimate for all of you to take my post with a grain of salt, but the SIHH is a week away, so, wait and see (I too will know if my sources are reliable).. If you are wondering why I decided to register and share the information with you, the answer is simple, I have been using all the important informations that you all have been posting here for years, and I consider that it was about time I give back a little bit. Thank you for taking the time to read my post, and good luck finding your grails. |

Thanks for introducing yourself and sharing the information. The panerai bug is contagious, what model did you start off with?

Welcome to the forums and to Panerai. I agree, once you get into Panerai, it's a fun endeavor.
There has been quite a bit of talk about a new Bronzo this year. By all accounts, we should be seeing a brown dial with a brown ceramic bezel. I am looking forward to seeing if the leaked information comes to pass. I anticipate lining up for one myself. |

Hello Yachty.. I totally agree with you.. PAMs are like no other.. even though I had a fascination with watches since childhood, I feel that I discovered something new in the watch world. I started off with a PAM 684.. it was love at first sight.. I am absolutly smitten with its beauty.. I will post some pictures as soon as I will take them.

Welcome to a much more interesting watch brand. Now you need to start ordering custom straps and you will be set. Nothing like being able to change things up and feel like you have a new watch with every change of a strap.
I too look forward to SIHH. Its going to be exciting. |

Have fun with it OP, but hard to get excited as Panerai is always releasing a watch. For then SIHH is a year round event it seems.
Search for models you like and focus on them. So many good ones already out there. In my opinion, 232 is perfection. Yes, it is 47mm, but doesn’t wear anything like a 47mm.

Thank You for sharing your story, history with Rolex, and your fascination with Panerai. I joined Panerai last year, and after a couple of months ended up with five! I also got a Rolex Explorer 1, so I still have a strong liking for Rolex. I don't know if it will be my last or only Rolex, time will tell.
Your gold Submersible is gorgeous! Cheers, Carl

Good info, thanks.
I'm holding off on a ROO, b/c I want to see what the new batch of submersible look like. I'm hoping for a 42-44mm titanium, BMG big tech, or carbo tech with some nice dial colors |

beautiful submersible.
i find it hard to imagine being a one-brand watch guy -- each brand tickles a different part of my brain and soul. 1st purchase was a breitling, then PAM, then Rolex ... now salivating at my next purchase, probably an Omega. I'm going for breadth first .. :-) |

Being a single brand watch collector is one of the different aspects of watch collecting. Some people like to diversify, others prefer to focus on a single brand and master it. Each collector sets his own guidelines. |

Non Bronzo this year. Big disappointment !!! Even though Jean-Marc Pontroué clearly stated in his Beverly Hills interview that there is one coming this year. Maybe, due to the sheer amount of new PAMs presented at SIHH, he prefered to presentit later this year. Let's hope it's the case (no pun intended). All
