Thanks, Nick!

Tough not to like the 932 (even if the 690 is still tops).

The big question is whether the hands are Silver or gold and whether the blue dial is different from that of the 688/689/690/670?

....those little birdies that chirp at me

looks like a different blue than the 690, but will need to see it first. pics always are not the best indicator of actual color

The blue is different . It is a gradient blue( Deepsea they call it) compared to the sunburst blue of the 690, according to the article . price apparently 8900euros for the 932

Here I haven’t done any research except what I read in the above mentioned articles and apparently otherwise it wouldn’t be much different from the 690 except for the waves on the sapphire case back and different writing in the dial . So as i understand it it is called the Deepsea mediterraneo dial and correct me if I am wrong the first gradient blue dial? We will see if it comes close to my favorite Rolex dial ! The James Cameron which puts all gradient dials to shame:)

I first got the information of these blue dials beginning of August. With prices and limitations but didn’t know about the blue nor that the 932 would have a domed Saphire which I love on the 690 it does make so much difference to me .
The Roségolds will be Limited to 188. I hope the dial lives up to expectations.

According to the description in the press release, the dial is described as satiné soleil base style, which is the same description they use to describe the 690 dial.

It would be nice if the dial of the 932 and other was in fact gradient, but it doesn't look it from the photos.

I'll be interested to see the 932 and compare to my 690 if that ever happens ...

Are you going to get a 932 Brian?
I love the 690 sunburst Dial. If the 932 is gradient as the articles indicate still the 690 sunburst will be difficult to beat...

I would love to see one and if the dial is substantially different I might consider it.

From the pictures it looks very similar but a gradient dial sounds intriguing for sure!

For now I'll have to live with this old thing

The 690 is hard to beat, but do look forward to seeing the 932. As for now, your 690 is still the coolest blue!

Yes it’s beige /tan calf skin leather. Takes on a ice patina when worn awhile

Thank you, great watch ! I am a bit doubtful about that new gradient dial , so far for my personal taste only Rolex has ever achieved a satisfying gradient blue dial with the JC deepsea. I will look at the 932 as soon as possible. Very curious and excited to see what they have done.

The sunburst 690 Dial is just perfect, difficult to make a better one!

The PAM 932 looks fantastic. I think Panerai is doing an excellent job some of these "newer" dial colors.

Love the blue dial. Looks different than the 690 from the picture. Would love to have the 945.

Does anyone know if this is a limited edition? And if the wave pattern case back is on all models ?

So far the deal breaker is the wave pattern at the back... Just.....WHY !!!!

Very limited quantity. Looks like it's going to be hard to get.

Still don't understand the wave pattern. It's so unnecessary in the Panerai DNA. Really hope the new CEO won't bring too much bling in the upcoming years.

Looking at Roger Dubuis ... Hmmm im not so sure now...

It’s “boutique exclusive,” or commonly referred to as a “boutique only” edition similar to 689/690. It’s not “technically” a SE, which means OP reserves the right to Issue these PAMs in subsequent series.
