Anyone else wonder where Panerai design direction is going???

They jumped in deep to the military style bronzos and submersible line, which was great.

What is this supposed to be? A modern fashionista, edgy, martini drinking line? They just dont fit with Panerai as a brand. I feel Panerai is desperate and trying to stay up with the Jones’s rather then sticking to their roots.

Any news on the 932? How ist the dial in person, is the gradient blue nicely done ?

It should be set to be released in selected boutiques in the next couple of weeks. The blue is nice but it’s not nearly as striking as the 670/690 dials. The 932 is great, but it’s not the 690!

Thx Erik...that was my fear..... gradient dials are very difficult to make, if they look two tone it is not pleasant :(
would you have photos? ( unfortunatlely no fb account any more)

My only photos I posted on FB and then deleted. Please do not get me wrong...the 932 dial is beautiful....Its just not as special or striking as the 690 dial...it is a bit more understated, which some people will appreciate even more...

maybe someone else on here can post the comparison picture from my FB shot...

Ok thx Eric, where on Fb did you post them? Ic could maybe ask a friend if he could log in with his account.

Yes Dan2010, you are the only one...…..:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

i like the dial of the 690 better, and the bmg....although i have not seen any of these in the flesh.

you are not alone, lol :chuckle::cheers::chuckle:

i purchased a 932 today. will be here next month. i'll post up some photos when it arrives. the blue/black gradient is stunning in person. they did a really good job.

very curious to see the photos :) how would you compare it to the 690?

Can’t wait to see it:thumbsup:

What boutique were you able to see it in person at?:thinking:

I can confirm that the 932 will have steel hands, not gold. I just received an image from my boutique and they're clearly not in gold.

Strange that it had gold hands in all the press release images

It is gold on Panerai webpage!

It looks washed out by the flash. 6 is more gold than 12. If you could, get the boutique to take another photo without flash.

Funny, they look gold to me in that picture :chuckle:

Regardless I’m sure we will have confirmation from some happy owner soon:thumbsup:

I have talked to my boutique contact and he says they're 100% not gold. And judging from the pictures he sent me they definitely look like steel hands.

I trust him regarding this. After all , he wants to sell me the watch (he knows I like gold hands)

That's fantastic! I look forward to seeing it with whatever hand set it has :chuckle:

Oh no :( i thought they were gold...that would be a deal breaker for me. I love gold hands. Makes all the difference for me.

Got some photos today and the confirmation that the hands are indeed not in gold :( that is it for me. I won’t buy it. So maybe the 690 or 689 if I get a good offer. What a pity. It did look really promising.

I think the watch looks gorgeous anyway. Probably would be too similar to the 690, that's probably why they changed it. Though you have to think why they would go out with hundreds of pics where it has gold hands. Miscommunication?

yes very strange, for that price range though i do want gold hands, and for the look. i just love the rosegold hands on the 911. makes such a difference. well nice watch but defenitley not for me than...
