682 Incoming!
 
5 Attachment(s)
Visited the Panerai store while on vacation in Florence. Tried the 682 on and fell in love. Didn’t buy there because of no discount and vat was equal to buying at retail in the states plus dollar was at 1.24.. So my good buddy Thanh (Takuya) coincidentally got a 3 month old one in a few days upon my return to the states! It was meant for me! The way it feels on is amazing! 42mm is perfect for my 6.5” wrist!

Love the little details on this piece like the circular brushing around the bezel area & the angled 15, 30 & 45 minute markers.
Enjoy!

Thanks. They did do a great job! When I first saw pics I wondered why they didn’t put the black bezel insert like on the 389. But once on you can really appreciate the attention to detail on the brushing, making it the perfect knock around watch. Now for some news straps!

Thanks, yes the minute hand lume is different from the rest of the lume on the watch. I guess so there is not cool confusion while diving.

Looks awesome! I've been lusting for this piece but definitely need to see it in person first.

Why was there no discount? You get 18% back after the VAT return

The VAT was 16.5 and th dollar store as at 1.24. If the dollar would have been better it would hve been a bit better. If I remember the equation was like 9800 USD afyer VAT came down to 8400/8500. So no real discount like you can get in the states with Pam. Purchased mine thatw as three month old for 6!
