Pam 372 or Pam 448 or Pam 449

[ufboy73]

are the 448 and/or 449 still available anywhere? i happened to stumble across them online, after falling away from Panerai for a while and they look great in pics!

Both are special editions, I believe they were recently released for sale at Panerai Boutiques only.

The 448 should prove impossible to buy directly... the 449 Im not sure - but would guess the same!

thanks - yes, that is what i am fearing as i start to do more and more research on them...

THOUGH, the 425 doesnt look too bad, for a 'stock' un'special' edition - ive always loved that torpedo logo :)

Yes , I agree...I have a slight preference for the blue hands on this dial, but the sapphire is nice to have on such a big watch...you still get some nice distortion from the glass that makes it interesting enough without having to worry about chips or scratches.

I would wait until there are enough 425's on the market for sourcing one at the right price. Or you can go beg your boutique or AD for the special edition watch as if they are doing you a favor in buying their watch!

is the 425 not brodly released yet?

im pretty sure my AD had one that i tried on last night, listing for something like 8700..does that sound right?

448 is looking to be that way..

I'm picking mine up tomorrow, my friend owns a boutique and it's been HARD to get LOL.... He's only getting 2 in, and it's one of the premier boutiques in the US!

Congratulations in advanced!

I sold my 249 to one day replace it with the 448...let's see if I made the right decision.

Thank you very much, nice Hanukkah present to myself ha...

I'll post up a thread in the next day or two..

I always wanted the 249, never got around to owning it... So looking forward to this, hope I warm up to the rad and love it ! I have a tendency to think things are too shiny/beautiful and put the notion DRESSY on it and not enjoying it fully :/
