polished, brushed questions.
I'm interested in buying a Panerai. I am new to this brand as I just started to see the models in the photos I would like to know when talking about cases and bezel that there is a difference between polished steel and brushed titanium. I guess the polished is brighter but I want to be sure. I also do not understand when in 1351 they speak of polished titanium. Is it as bright as polished steel? Thank you.

There is a big difference between the look of polished steel v brushed titanium (not to mention that TI is a much lighter material so will wear lighter on the wrist)...the polished SS is much brighter...all of the current TI watches offer a brushed TI case and a polished TI bezel...the polished TI bezel looks very nice with the brushed case...there have been some who brushed the bezel to match exactly with the case; an interesting look but I would never do it...a brushed TI case with polished TI bezel is a very nice look..
Hope to welcome you to the club soon!! |

Thanks for your explanation. I was really inclining for the 1005. I wanted a clock with date but I did not like the cyclope of the Luminor line but now I found a model that I like and that does not escape me so much from the budget. It's the model 904. It does not convince me that it's automatic because I had a Rolex that had differences of several seconds per day and I think the manual movements are more accurate. ( or am I wrong?). Well ... thanks again .. I have to find out which of the two movements is more accurate because it is something that worries me to make the choice. Regards. |

If you like the 1005, consider a pre-owned 005 instead.

Don’t warry, once you will buy a Panerai, anyone, you will understand that it will not the last one.
They are like a kind of drug, you will be addicted. So buy the one you like more, enjoy it, and just thin to the next one. Jokes apart, the Ti one is much lighter, very confortable to wear. The St. One is very solid but heavy, shining and difficult to result anonymous. Start with a Ti one. This is what I did. I have many now. D.

Anyway it must be difficult to get PAM 904 used to get a reasonable price because it is a very new model. Apart I still did not see it personally because I just sold my Rolex and now I'm looking for Panerai. What I was looking for was a watch with a calendar but well ... I'll sacrifice that taste for now. I did not understand the meaning of "St. One" anyway. Regards. |

Panerai is not a dress watch. It’s a military tool watch and it should be worn oversized.. ie XXL. 372 case have very short lugs, you do be surprised it wears very well on smaller wrist. 372 is one of the purist Pam you can buy now. Now they are only available in sapphire crystal is the down point.

I also agree that it's better to pick up a preowned 005 then go with a new 1005. The 1005 has a snap on case back, less WR, and an integrated bezel with a 56 hour ETA movement. The 005 has a screw in case back, non integrated bezel, 300m WR, and the 56 hour ETA movement. There are also new logo models that were introduced in SIHH; they are "upgraded" with a 3 day in house movement (these models will replace the 1005), but they still have the snap on case back and integrated bezel. One step forward and two steps back. |
