Icon5 Newbie daft question alert!!!

Regarding the reference number for example,

0253/1500.


Does this mean piece 253 of 1500 made?

Sorry guys but going through my research on the road to my first PAM.

no problem
yeah that pretty much all it means M is the year ; say it was a PAM 183 it will then say
0253/1500 on back
or 0253 /2500 or 0253/1000 depending on the model and number produced. Panerias are often made in numbers from 500 to 2500 each year (in increments of 500)
what one you thinking about getting?

Either the 164 OR 351.

Got to try them on in the flesh first and see what sings/sits better.

Yep Titanium and steel. 359? looks good. Same as 351 but all polished. Must admit the brushed case with polished bezel looks better IMHO.

two pretty different watches, but, both great choices! you'll have to see how the two cases fit on your wrist, and then decide between SS/TI and black dial/brown dial and arabic/non-arabic.....gonna be tough, but, you'll manage.
