Officine Panerai Luminor Marina PAM00510 - Amazing value

While Officine Panerai has come come out with many interesting new dial and case designs over the years, the basic Luminor design with the pancake dial and hand wound is still my personal favorite. The Panerai Luminor Marina PAM 510 is a updated version of the PAM 111. The hand wound Unitas movement in the Panerai Luminor Marina PAM 111 is replaced by the new built-by-Panerai P.5000 calibre. This new movement is an eight day hand wound movement. 

Now, the Panerai Luminor Marina PAM 111 is one of the more affordable Panerai offerings with a list price of US$6,800. The new Panerai Luminor Marina PAM 510 will apparently be retailing for just US$400 more, at US$7,200. I find this to be an extremely attractive proposition. An eight day movement adds a touch of flair to what is already a very attractive watch. At this price, it is a steal.
