New Blue Dial Boutique Editions

They were just released but they were hitting the boutiques as of this week. One of my buddies already picked up the 690.

What do you guys think?

Panerai PAM690 47mm Radiomir 1940, PAM619 44MM Luminor 10 Day GMT, PAM688 44mm Luminor GMT, and PAM659 Radiomir 45mm 1940's 10 Day GMT in Oro Rosso.

619 out of the four but part of me wonders if it would be too difficult to match up with work clothes. Bit of a strange thing to wonder when my Sub LVc gets the most wrist time

Boutique here told me that there's a waiting list longer than a big long thing for the blue dials and, very apologetically, that I had next to no chance of getting one any time soon. As gorgeous as the Luminors are, they wouldn't be my first choice anyway so I'm not losing any sleep

The watches look great. Panerai's distribution model is as dated as the marketing plan for the company. Make the watches, distribute the watches and stop playing the LE game. Those days are long gone.

Totally agree.

Love the 690, but not willing to pay full retail at a boutique for it. They can keep their sparkling water.

Champagne, red or white wine when buying in the Singapore boutique. I had a big bag of chocolates without buying too

Sorry guys, there was a typo. The 619 is actually the 689 and the 688 is actually a 42mm.
