My AD offered to order the last one in the countrey for me from another branch at an absolutely unbelievable price if I combine that order with my Datora. I was not thinking of the 6.75 at this time but the hellspawn offered me 35% off both if taken together :shock:

Here is my question: The indexes on my Chrono Evo are actually two levels of material that seem to be one under some lighting conditions. Is the 6.75 the same way or is each index a solid single piece?


I hope thats understandable, thanks!!!! This will either make or break this deal for me.

As you can see the indexes are made of a strip of material over a larger one. Is that the same with the 6.75??

Which Panerai?

(Of course, this has NOTHING to do with the fact I'm thinking of unloading 2 of mine... :wink: )

With regard to the indexes (indices?) I don't know if this is any help - I found a close-up of my 6.75...

I would like to get a 104 for starters. Just the basic Marina Automatic for now.

Thats a sweet collection you have there. Since you seem like an expert Panerisi, what would be a good price for a 104? The local AD (not my usual/don't know him) refuses to budge below 4600USD which seems steep for a basic model.

The 'suggested' US price is 5150$US - any AD selling at 4600$US is not making a great deal on the watch - well, a great deal for whoever buys it of course!

In France (Europe) the 104 sells for 3900 euros which converts to 5600$US! (Which is why we can never sell to US citizens - of course, going the other way is always interesting...

Just one more question, is the 104 a sandwich dial?
