Passions Watch Exchange

Pre-owned. Comes with orig. wooden box (+outer box), LE scroll, manual, sticker, COSC cert, spare strap, screw-driver & dated paper in pouch. This fascinating model was introduced in 2009 & is a re-issue of the original A & B series from the late 1990s. How time flies! The case & buckle is black coated over steel & Panerai calls it "special hard black coating". It sets off a very nice blackish sheen like gun metal look instead of matte black & has a very sophisticated look to it.

 

Watch has been bathed & ready for new adventures with you. The glass is perfect but there are tiny little dings on the edge of the bezel between 2~3 & 4 o'clock but not readily visible to the naked eyes unless you scrutinize hard. The black coating is also showing some faint flaking (under 10x magnification) on the edges of the lugs which gives it a very nice aged look. A light dent can be found on the edge of the lugs @ 1 o'clock & again barely visible to the naked eyes & not a bother. We tried our best to photograph the largest flaw for you in the images but the dings are really tiny. Otherwise, the case is perfect

 

The watch comes with a solid steel back cover & has a single rod screw for the lugs to change strap instead of the current pusher-pin style. The hob-nail dial with power reserve @ six & a central seconds make this a very unique watch. Only 1000pcs were made for this series & it comes with a large special edition box with the rolled up certificate & the usual stuffs.

 

Very well priced for the collector but this watch is of course meant to be used as well.
