Do all 44 boutique editions have the same

case and movement?

As far as I can tell they all have a polished case and manual wind movements?

Do any of them have a brushed case and auto movement?

I am thinking of picking up a Las Vegas edition because I really like the base look and the dirty dial.

Thanks!

they are all the same, only the caseback is the difference

All are the same except for the famous/infamous Brooklyn Bridge edition.

lol

and imo this is the only important one.
Much discussed but a watch with a story and this is important to me.

I'm sure they will NEVER do this again. so with only 150 of them this is a very rare thing

I wonder how many owners opted for the 'better' movement, when this was offered by Panerai. My understanding is that this was only possible via one or two of the boutiques in the US. Imho not Panerai's finest moment

Thanks for the replys.

I am not buying it for resale and don't care if it keeps its value. I sold off my 233 and 243 a couple years ago and miss having a PAM in my collection. A base has always apealed to me. a 176 or 177. The boutique editions appeal to me too.

Do the boutique editions have the same hands and dial as the 390? Obviously they have a second sub dial and the pig

I am debating between the 390 and Vegas edition.

No, the 390 has a brown dial and gold hands, and different colour dial markers too

If you are happy with a Base model, then the 390 would be the better choice imho. Personally, I prefer Marina models i.e. with the seconds subdial, but I do not like the boutique edition casebacks and would stick to a 111 or 005
