This is from Officine Panerai received today. It has (one prototype) made its appearances at some of the boutiques but only one piece so far. And yes, there is a mighty long queue which I suspect has surpassed the 1500 pieces to be produced.
"Dear Mr. Zahari,
Thank you for your email.
Please be informed that PAM339 will only be launched in October/ November 2010.
hmm, 26k usd sounds ex for one that will have altogether 1500 pcs worldwide
I totally agree but seems like there are many people willing to pay that price. It's a nice watch but I will only want to pay list plus 20% for one. That's why I probably can never afford one and the chance of any AD offering one to me at list is like striking toto.
There might even be a luminor made from the same composite as 339 coming.
Every year, they have to introduce new models (every brands alike) & one or two would catch our attention. Bottomline, It's still down to price.
Many people are willing to pay high premium just to get the watch while also, many people are unwilling. Everyone has different playing field & game plan.
