"Recognizable from 10 meters away" is what Panerai is all about. The shell shape, the large bridge, the 3,6,9,12 fonts, the lightning logo and the luminescent hands are all Panerai identification symbols. Panerai can be popular in China, and it is also Mr. Zhong Yonglin's hand. The history of Panerai is very simple, it is to make a military watch for the Italian Navy. Between 1936 and 1992, Panerai produced watches exclusively for the Italian Navy and were manufactured by Rolex. Before 2005, Panerai did not produce its own movements, but was more like an integrator of resources. And it is strange that while other watch manufacturers use their own movements as a selling point, Panerai's self-produced movements do not have a good reputation as Tongxin.
Another feature of Panerai is the "limited edition", since joining the Richemont Group, each watch produced by Panerai is a limited edition, divided into a limited edition and a limited edition, there will be a new store opening in a city will also have a city limited, and there will be a lunar zodiac limited edition every year, although each limited edition may be very similar, but it can reduce the probability of you and others colliding with the watch, even if it is the same model, you can also say: "Oh, my piece is 09 limited edition, you may not be able to buy it." ”
To get started, just remember that it is Luminor with the bridge and Radiomir without the bridge. If you really want to buy a piece of Panerai, the 111 and 005 are definitely not wrong choices, because 99% of people will choose these two models when they get started. 111 is a transparent bottom, simple small three-needle, manual winding, the public price is 44,600 yuan; 005 is a dense bottom, with a double arrow logo on the surface, the public price is 32,800 yuan, and there are 000, 114, 183, and 380, and the public price is about 30,000-40,000 yuan, of which the 380 without a bridge is the cheapest entry model in Panerai.
Veteran Panerai collectors will say that one is to buy a large diameter, and the other is to buy a steel watch. Panerai's watch diameters are large, with a diameter of more than 44 mm, and some models even reach 60 mm, which cannot be hidden in the sleeve at all, and it is impossible not to be seen;
Panerai was born as a military watch, and one of the important military regulations of the Pei Party is: steel is more valuable than gold. Panerai advanced to remember the "Four Heavenly Kings": 127, 217, 232, 249. They are all 47mm diameter, large gold needle steel models, and they are also Panerai Watchmaker's boutique models.
Buying Panerai is most afraid of buying fakes, like Rolex's water ghosts, Panerai's high imitation has appeared a long time ago, has been improving, before I saw an article on the Internet about the domestic N factory Panerai real and false comparison, in the case of not dismantling, enough to be fake and real, even if there is a difference, it is also very subtle, I am afraid that only the senior Pei Dang or Guangzhou's watch god can see. If you are new to Panerai, please buy it through regular channels as much as possible.
