I guess the Chinese market is still booming :-)

Good to see Panerai uses more inhouse and less ETA :-)

La varieta piace.

translation = Variety pleases.

I'm sure they'll sell out, but not for me...

it's the automatic "Fu" model based on the P9000 movement and 1950 case.

also there is a 389 model, a Submersible with black ceramic/titanium bezel.

well the chinese market is slowing down as well..............

My only question is that the last known PAM model number is 449, and now it's 498, then that means there are many NEW PAM models (49 models) that are waiting to be released. I am very curious to find out what are the 49 new models.

there were always gaps between the reference numbers.
there are numbers the never used. examples 58 , 59 , 94.
Probably we will get the watches between 449 and 498, but it could take some time

Variety is THE spice of life, I also like the look but not for me..
Can some1 explain what the "Fu" is besides my warped sense of the word
