Pam 692

Hi All. I have a handful of Panerais and always seem to gravitate torwards Luminor Submersible 47mm, my submersibles are 305, 285, 507 and the 508 and I apsolutly love the 692. I especially like the new material for Panerai and what they are calling called BMG-TECH (Bulk Metallic Glass) i think the fact they have figured out this new material and a 50 year guarantee from the movement needing any kind of lubrication is cutting edge and will sell like hot cakes and probably make its way to other models. It’s suppose to be lighter and more durable than their titanium and the color is said to be slightly darker than the titanium with a gray hue, which I like.

Although I haven’t seen it in person, I know I’ll want the watch but trying to talk myself out of buying another submersible.

Has anyone seen this watch in person? If so, would like to get some feedback.

Much appreciated

You are confusing two 2017 models: the BMG material is for the 692, but the 50-year warranty is only with the 700 (http://www.panerai.com/en/collection..._pam00700.html).

Thanks for point that out, I'm still very interested in this watch. I'll post pictures if I end up purchasing one.

Love the BMG. I think it’ll be my next, but I have to see it in person first.

I agree, well priced for what seems to be a complicated process with the new material
