The Watch Thread - Part 5

[PingJun]

No mood for the panerai now.

My dad just got diagnosed for shingles. Now worried abt our kids at home cos he looks after them everyday.

Taking one week childcare leave to look after them as we also just had a new domestic helper.

Sh*t happens.

Sorry to hear that.

Wish your father can get well soon.

 

[PingJun]

Anyone can identify the model number for these two?

I am unsure of their model nos although I tend to find that the first one look familiar.

Have you tried asking thong sia or other watch forum like watchuseek ?

May I know what is the model of the watch inside?

TGIF folks

Am contemplating whether to trade or sell this for a master control

 

[rachdanon]

woah thanks!

anybody has any idea how much panerai will charge to service and change the tritium?
Personally I dont like the oxidized hands. thanx

I don't know, would Panerai change it to new tritium seeing they have moved on to Luminova?

Oh...but won't that sort of de-originalize the watch...it becomes a mod already IMO. If Want to sell off next time might be a problem?

Edit : in fact seems Panerai will do it as the default....

TGIF everyone! Finally it's Friday! Woohooooooo

Did some googling. From paneristi:

"Watches made between the "rebirth" of Panerai in 1993 to the acquisition of the company by the Vendôme group in 1996/97 are usually called "pre-Vendôme" models. The basic pre-Vendôme range consisted of some 44mm hand-wind watches with the classic 44mm Luminor case, and some 42mm Mare Nostrum chronographs. The line also included limited edition Slytech watches, endorsed or commissioned (depending on who you believe) by the film star Sylvester Stallone. The Slytechs are distinguished by the signature of Mr Stallone engraved on the caseback, and some writing on the dial.

All the pre-Vendôme models came on straps with the large "bottle opener" or "fancy" buckle, although the Mare Nostrum buckles were smaller than the full-sized ones.

Most watches came in an oak box, with additional paperwork and straps, however the Slytechs came in a very large box with all manner of gadgets such as the miniature submarine model."

Vendome itself was fully bought over by Richemont group (previously only majority owner) around 97,98. I am not sure if the vendome name still exists today..

That's why I thought there were more than 1 change in ownership...

Thanks bro, very informative.

I didn't! Just hoping someone knows here. Which is more.. collectable or worth keeping? Although I know they are nothing much impressive about it.

TGIF!

Haven't really been able to get this baby off my wrist, it's been having most of my wrist time now. Super solid watch.

Going public on this Friday! Have a good one everyone!
