PANERAI UŻYWANE - "przewodnik"

[Norbert G. 9]

Witam

"Przekopując" internet natknąłem się na ciekawy "przewodnik" po używanych/starszych modelach zegarków panerai (warto spojrzeć):

 

http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/reference-pam-review-107365.html

 

Jest tam wiele ciekawych uwag odnośnie replik oraz pomocny "opis" dzięki któremu sprawdzimy datę produkcji itp.:

 

 

1) OP XXXX – Case No.

OP attached with a four-digit number represents the Case No. of this watch. Panerai models resemble each other in most cases with little differences. Meanwhile, differences in these figures mean that their cases are of different models. They differ from each other in external appearance and material as well as the internal structure. The case number on seemingly identical watches can occasionally change from year to year, presumably because of some microscopic change, or perhaps the case comes from a different manufacturer.

 

2) BB XXXXXXX or PB XXXXXXX – Serial number of the watch

This group of numbers is the serial number or reference of the watch, which is equivalent to the identity card number and increments with production. The newer the watch, the higher the number. For each different watch, this number will be different.

 

3) A single English character – Year designator Prefix of the watch

Panerai watches are dated by a letter that appears before the production number. The watch shown in the example above is an “K” production year, which is approximately 2008. The following are the approximate years of production that the letter indicates:

 

Without Prefix - Vintage: 1936-1956

Without Prefix - Pre-V: 1993-1997

Vendôme

Without Prefix - Pre-A: 1997-1998

A: 1998

B: 1999

C: 2000

D: 2001

E: 2002

F: 2003

G: 2004

H: 2005

I: 2006

J: 2007

K: 2008

L: 2009

M: 2010

N: 2011

 

From 1956 to 1993, merely a few prototypes were made.

 

4) XXXX/---- Numbers right behind the Year designator Prefix number – Production number of the watch.

This number represents the order number of the watch under the prefix in a particular given year. When the model is fixed, these numbers composed with the prefix constitute a unique and definite combination.

If the watch is from F series or later, this indicates the production number of this particular watch for a designated year. The above example is 823 of 1000, which means that 1000 units of this very specific model were produced in that year and this is number 823.

If the watch is from A to E series, then this indicates the production number of all dial and case variations of a particular watch. So if the example was 354 of 1000 for an E series Luminor Base, it would mean that all Luminors Base (White dial, Black dial, PVD, Brushed, Polished, etc) had a total production of 1000.

 

5) -----/XXXX The number after the slash – The annual total of this model

This number represents the total production number of this kind of watch under the prefix in a particular given year. This is a limited edition for Panerai now. Generally speaking, the smaller the number is, the more precious these watches will be, and thus the higher market price they are.

Linking into the following website, you may get some reference information about the productivity of Panerai each year.

6) The fish symbol and XXXm – waterproof mark of the watch

The fish symbol and figure represent the waterproof capacity of this watch. It says 300 meters in the picture.

Contemporarily, waterproof standard of Panerai can be classified as following:

30 meters, 100 meters, 120 meters, 300 meters, 1,000 meters, 2,500 meters.
