All Panerais... ok... my new collection
all looks the "same"
Scott,
Nice. Not really the same, it is a destro, 2 liner, sandwich dial. The old destro was a luminor marina, i.e. has the seconds hands on a sub dial. Actually the PAM00219 is a modern interpretation of the rarest Panerai, the original Destro, which was called Radiomir. Of course on the original, the crown lever was upside down.
There is also a (unconfirmed) 5218-201A logo destro.
Nice PAM219 scott and great explanation hobbit, i sometimes wonder if you have a encyclopedia next to you
anyway, i received this today, fresh from the boutique.
ordered it for a friend, and now i feel heavy hearted to pass it to him ...
beautiful case, doesn't feel thick anymore like the PAM127/217/368, the transitional case makes it feel like a radiomir hybrid.
much more wearable for small wrist like mine, and the plexi and dial color does improve everything. only thing is the "shorter" hands.
