At last, a "special edition" that isn't a bit awful;

Really like this but I'm a sucker for a Blue dial

Personally I would buy the 1110 and pop it on a nice strap, cleaner and better value, Panerai Specials aren’t Special these days that all ended in 2008.

Also a lovely chrono/dial too.

First time I've worn this for ages.

Which just proves Panerai specials can, indeed, still be special…

My 425 S.L.C. These are apparently now discontinued, no longer available in US but a few left on the UK site.

Haven't worn this all summer, have to get it back into my rotation as it's just such a beautiful watch!

**verv** · 9th August 2021, 11:12

I have gone down the PAM rabbit hole so wanted a wire lug Radiomir to go with my 233.
Ideally I fancied a 190 but saw this one "in the metal" and really loved it. Its a 992 with "aged finish" case so not polished or brushed but halfway in between.
Blued hands are a lovely touch imo. I wasn't particularly expecting to like it from the renders.

Have to say the 992 is a great 45mm Pam. Got to love an 8 day manual!

That's a little cracker, I think the only thing that would improve my 590 would be a sandwich dial. The dial text matching the marker lume is rather nice as well rather than the contrasting white.

C that is a beaut. On of my favourite Rads and sooo much nicer than a 183. Love the crystal, aged steel, dial and hands.

Enjoy!

Agreed Alun, that 992 is beautiful.

Great pick up there.

Looks good!

Then again its a 233 DD and it looks good on practically anything. For me one of THE iconic Panerais.

Although these are shown as pre made Mario will do them in other lengths if you ask him. Not hard to pay and good delivery times normally.

Aha! yes I have a couple of Oloffs that I pilfered from ASW :D
I like them.

I've recently taken in a year 2000 PAM120 as part of a trade, I've never had one before as they've always been too big, but at 40mm this really is super comfy to wear!

Any idea where I can source additional links for the bracelet? I've tried eBay and Chrono24 but no luck apart from aftermarket parts. I think it's possibly missing some links although as fate would have it it fits me fine.

it's certainly been worn so I might get it polished up before I move it on. Looking at some listings they show this model as having a polished bezel, crown guard, and centre links; but this one doesn't seem to have any polished areas. Other listings don't show the high polished areas so I'm wondering if it possibly came in different configurations?

**ASW1** · 16th August 2021, 18:38

This is even nicer than I was expecting. Toyed with one for some years, and now it's here. Big brother to the 654, this is the 652. You may recall it from the Watchfinder video https://youtu.be/HB0zUkB9Jqo

This thread is so dangerous, just need to decide between new or older now!

The warranty is appealing but I seem to like the older models more 🤷🏻*♂️. Decisions decisions…

**RAJEN** · 17th August 2021, 00:22

That 652 looks sensational

Oh thats lovely AS. Like it a lot!

Very, very nice.
I’m down to three now, a ‘long arrow’ 005, a 0010 and a preA 1. If I was to add a fourth a smooth bezel 024 would be high on the list, or a 004.
