The new panerais have been announced and I am still quivering from the onslaught! Two models in particular have me in a perpetual state of arousal!

First, the breathtaking Submersible 1950 Bronzo : 47 MM case, CuSn8 brushed bronze 1950 case, Bronze hands and andices, Tinted green crystal. Oh and a twin barrel 3 day modern in house movement. SHWING!

Another absolutely FANTASTIC addition is the new 47 MM base model, with the new in house 3 day movement and in a brushed and polished 1950 case, aged numerals, and a historically corect Plexiglass. Simply perfect, I wouldnt change a thing!!

I need to go find my wife, I am getting too excited here and need to release some excitement!

Never liked a Panerai much before. But that Submersible 1950 Bronzo is just gorgeous. I'd put money down for that one.

Wow, both of them are beautiful. I absolutely love that Base, I wonder what the price is gonna be on that.

Great news on the Base 47mm, it is a regular production of 3000 a year, expected retail is to be 8000 USD and street around the 7K mark. Panerai website confirms that it is a regular production!!!

Now for the horrible wait :(

That is pretty exciting. I've been waiting for a Base with the 1950 case and an in-house, I just wish it was going to be 44mm, I think 47mm might be too big for me. It also looks like it's going to have a display back, very nice. I need to find a PAM AD and try one of these one.

Both look awesome, but that Sub is super hot!! I agree with Roman...I wish that they were closer to the 44-45mm range...expecially the base.

Here are a few pictures that show just how amazing the new Base is, it is actually a combination case of the radiomir cushion base with the Luminor lugs and croen protector, and a super dome just to top things off.

Oh yeah and a display back showing the gorgeous new in house movement:

Also just released, a third must have for me! A 47 MM Composite case 1950 case ala Fiddy with a brown dial and gold hands! Sorry no decent pics yet but I am sure you can extend your imagination!

The 372 (base) doesn't do it for me because the plexiglass doesn't seem that practical. I will admit to liking the 382, although with an LE of 1,000........

Those last 3 photos show how beautiful that watch is. No better way to put it than it's a combo between a rad and 1950 case. VERY NICE! And it has the new p.3000 manual in house. LOVE IT! Wish I could pull off a 47mm.

I don't know Altair, I don't quite get that display back. Seems almost like it's a caseback enclosed under a crystal if you know what I mean. You really can't see a whole lot of the movement. I don't think I get the point on that, but otherwise I think it looks pretty good.

I heard that estimation, dont believe yet, but hoping.....

If it is 10,100, then that is a VERY fair price considering!
