Hugh Grant’s Vintage UK Luxury Fake Panerai Watches For Sale Is A Grail We’d Kill For

Hugh Grant has just solidified his place in a community he probably doesn’t even know exists: the so-called Crownguard Gang. The (extremely non-threatening) ‘gang’ are dedicated Swiss made Panerai replica watches enthusiasts. As such, they were extremely happy to see Grant flex his latest Panerai grail at the BAFTAs.

“Most of our community love watching films and TV shows to spot cheap UK Panerai fake watches, which are normally quickly recognisable because of the crownguard on the Luminor range,” says Paul Richardson, a spokesperson for Panerai Passione. “Hence why we are known as the Crownguard Gang.”

‘Panerista’ won’t be in everyone’s vocabulary because not everyone is a lover of top replica Panerai watches. Neither will ‘crownguarding’, which comes from the fact some watch crowns have a guard around them for equal parts aesthetic and protection purposes.

We have it on concrete authority that Hugh Grant is a big Panerista: he really loves his Panerai copy watches. He’s predominantly seen wearing Swiss made replica Panerai Luminor watches, which is why at this year’s BAFTAs his credentials were reaffirmed. While up on stage to present the award for Best Director (to Oppenhomie Christopher Nolan), a mere glance of the crown-side of his wristwear poking out from beneath his tuxedo was enough for the Crownguard Gang to be on red alert.

This time his watch of choice was vintage AAA wholesale Panerai Radiomir fake watches, identified by the thin wire lugs and the guardless crown, which is quite rare and not present on new models. While it’s not possible to know the exact model he is wearing, the brand itself confirmed it was a vintage stainless steel Radiomir 3646.

“The Radiomir in question harks back to the brand’s history of providing diving watches for the Flottiglia and Kampfschwimmer during WWII, hence the anonymous dial, in case of capture to hide the fact of by whom it was made,” says Richardson, “It also has a highly radioactive dial which glows brightly underwater normally during night time missions.”

To JJ Owens, founder of Daily Grail, “It makes total sense that Hugh Grant would wear his favoured vintage Panerai super clone watches for men to the BAFTAs as he is the living embodiment of a vintage grail: he only gets better with time”, while a spokesperson for Panerai Plus’s Instagram account gave a slightly more nuanced response: “Grant’s choice to own a vintage Panerai, particularly the iconic Radiomir 3646, symbolises a genuine affinity for Panerai and a profound appreciation for horological heritage… It is more than just a statement of fashion or style; it embodies the essence of authentic watch collecting and the appreciation of craftsmanship.”

Richardson explains the reason why people who own perfect Panerai replica watches tend to be really passionate about the brand – the saying goes ‘more than just a watch’ – is because the watches are generally made in small numbers each year. And with so many nods back to the brand’s military history, he says people tend to own more than one watch (vintage and more modern) because of this. We see you, Hugh.

Hands-On: Perfect AAA Panerai Radiomir Annual Calendar Goldtech Fake Watches UK

One of the timepieces Panerai released at Watches & Wonders 2023 features a new annual calendar movement. That was exciting news because watchmakers are at a particular level of comfort when they decide to make practical annual calendar movements, as opposed to simple calendars or more complicated perpetual calendars. As I will explain below, in my opinion, annual calendars represent a sweet spot because of their features and convenience. The new watches is the 2024 1:1 replica Panerai Radiomir Annual Calendar Goldtech reference PAM1363 watches, and it is a rather glitzy way to feature the movement given the 18k gold case material. Ironically, rather than introduce lower-priced versions of the Radiomir Annual Calendar (“Calendario Annuale”) as a follow-up to the gold version, Panerai went even more high-end with the versions of the Radiomir Annual Calendar Platinumtech. (It is platinum, so I don’t understand where the “tech” comes in.)

Annual calendars are interesting because they go most of the way to a perpetual calendar but don’t include a correction for leap years. That means you need to adjust annual calendars up to once a year, in February. I am totally OK with that if it means gaining simplicity and value. Most annual calendar watches cost less than perpetual calendars, and they also often have cleaner dials. Finally, annual calendar watch cases tend to have fewer, if any, inset correctors on the case (which I happen to find ugly). This cheap UK fake Panerai Radiomir Annual Calendar watches has just one inset corrector on the side of the case, which is used to adjust the month.

The movement inside the top Swiss replica Panerai Radiomir Annual Calendar watches is the in-house Panerai caliber P.9010/AC automatic. It operates at 4Hz with three days of power reserve. The annual calendar system is a module on top of the main timekeeping movement, with a subsidiary seconds indicator at 9 o’clock. What’s so great about the display is how the months are indicated. Best Panerai copy watches keeps the dial relatively clean by arranging it as a “day/date plus” face. That means when you look to read the calendar information, you see what appears to be a day/date window at the 3 o’clock position. But then you look a bit more to the right, and you see that the entire outer periphery of the face uses the hour markers for an additional purpose. Beside each hour marker is a month indicator on a moving disc. That disc makes a full-stop rotation at the end of each month. Note that the calendar information such as the month and day of the week are in Italian versus English. This is a fun way to add a bit more Italian brand character to this piece.

My favorite case design at Panerai is the Radiomir, with its wire-style lugs and vintage-style crown. Here, the cushion-shaped Radiomir case is 45mm wide in 18k rose gold (water resistant to 100 meters). The dial of the watch is a metallic fume blue. Given the curvature of the sapphire crystals over most luxury Panerai replica watches, glare is a major issue when photographing them. This is less of an issue when looking at the dial with your eyes, but Panerai super clone watches do tend to reflect a lot of light.

I doubt that the Radiomir Annual Calendar will be too many people’s first Swiss movements replica Panerai watches. This product appears to be for collectors who are interested in a modestly complicated, albeit practical sport-style watch produced in a luxury material. That might sound niche, but so is the appeal of many luxury timepieces when it comes to finding an audience. The goal for most of these high-end Panerai fake watches for men isn’t to make a lot of people sort of happy. Rather, the goal is to make just a few people very happy. That’s why exclusive production and original design as concepts in this space are very in right now.

A steel or titanium version of this Radiomir Annual Calendar would be a very sweet watch at half the price. The availability of such a product isn’t out of the question, but I think it will take a little while for such a product to come on the market. Panerai, like many names in the luxury watch space, tends to put their newer movements in expensive Swiss made Panerai replica watches before more affordable ones. Panerai has every reason to trickle out timepieces with the caliber P.9010/AC automatic movement to make this mechanism feel special. The good news is that, in addition to more humble versions of the Radiomir to feature this movement, there is a good chance that if it is successful, Panerai will experiment by using the caliber P.9010/AC in other models such as the Luminor.

Attached to the wholesale online fake Panerai Radiomir Annual Calendar Goldtech watches is a comfortable blue alligator strap with a calfskin lining. This is an excellent watch for people who like practical and sporty annual calendar movements. That said, the pricing and size of this watch create limiting factors for a lot of buyers, but almost anyone in the enthusiast community can enjoy what Panerai did with the dial here, and admit this is a great execution of an annual calendar layout. Price for the Panerai Radiomir Annual Calendar Goldtech PAM01363 watch is USD $39,200 .

Exploring Evergreens: The Mighty UK Best Replica Panerai Radiomir PAM00210 Watches

In this installment of Exploring Evergreens, I have a closer look at my very own cheap 1:1 Panerai Radiomir replica watches. This is reference PAM00210, and I would argue that this is prime Panerai. Whether you agree or not, this is an archetypal Radiomir, the basic shape of which has been around since 1936. With hardly any aesthetic changes made since then, I think we can safely label this as an evergreen.

The Panerai PAM00210 is what we would call a neo-vintage reference. It was produced from 2005 until 2012, and mine is an early one that dates back to the first year of production. Join me as I explore how this Panerai has aged over the last two decades and whether it is still an appealing proposition in 2024.

True to the original Panerai Radiomir design

So, why would I claim the PAM00210 is prime Panerai? This is down to its faithfulness to the original Radiomir from 1936. Granted, mine has been downsized by 2mm from the original 47mm diameter. Otherwise, though, it is almost identical in design to the original converted Rolex pocket watches with their radioactive dials.

Now, staying true to the original is only to be applauded if the original is any good. And, boy, is it! The Panerai Radiomir is one of those instantly recognizable shapes that is burnt onto the collective retina of the horological community. Fascinatingly, it looks like a near-perfect, cohesive design when, in truth, it isn’t. There was never a consorted effort to “design” the Radiomir as such. It was a cushion-shaped Rolex pocket watch, turned on its side, with wire lugs soldered on. Only the dial was typical for Panerai, which made radium-lumed sandwich dials for other diving tools before turning to perfect Swiss fake Panerai watches.

The AAA wholesale Panerai Radiomir replica watches, then, should look like the wrist-mounted, time-telling equivalent of Frankenstein’s monster. But it doesn’t. It is an object of sheer beauty. It is brutal and elegant at the same time. There is a pragmatic functionality to it, enlivened with typical Italian flair. How can a hodgepodge military dive watch watch have sprezzatura? Leave it to the Italians.

PAM00210 — from simpler times

Panerai is a luxury brand under the Richemont group today. This means modern luxury Panerai copy watches are no longer military diving tools but luxurious fashion statements. And that means that most have been embellished with fancy features and decorations, from gold cases and vignette dials to date complications to minute-repeating tourbillons. There isn’t a version in the 2024 catalog that is akin to the original, barebones design.

So if you want that pre-WWII aesthetic, you will have to look at discontinued references. If you, specifically, want a sandwich dial, a hand-wound caliber, no complications, two hands, and a black dial with minimal text, you will likely end up with the PAM00210.

Admittedly, Panerai was already a luxury brand in 2005. It was also already under the Richemont umbrella. The high quality UK replica Panerai watches, however, tended to be simpler, both technically and aesthetically. They still captured a little more of that tool-watch vibe through their rudimentary calibers, rugged build, and classical styling. As you may know, Panerai had a rather bumpy road upmarket, alienating some of its longtime fans. Today, the brand is different. It produces fantastic watches, yes, but not necessarily in the spirit of the PAM00210 and its predecessors. Consequently, if that is the Panerai you like, you have no choice but to go (neo-)vintage.

What has aged well on the PAM00210?

It may come as no surprise that I feel that it is first and foremost the PAM00210’s design that has aged perfectly. Nearly 20 years after this reference’s introduction and almost 90 years after the Radiomir’s original conception, it is still beautiful. You can put this Swiss movements Panerai Radiomir fake watches in the same sentence as the Tank, Submariner, Reverso, and Speedmaster as one of those watches that transcends its time.

Reference PAM00210, specifically, is a perfect modern interpretation of the Radiomir. Although it measures 13mm thick, it looks significantly slimmer. The tapered case and shallow flanks combined with a mildly domed sapphire crystal take care of that. These are modernizations of the original, but they are perfectly in character for the Radiomir. They still look equally classical and contemporary in 2024.

Another thing that I particularly like about this 2024 China Panerai replica watches is its lume. This is Super-LumiNova, but it behaves rather interestingly color-wise. There is no actual faux patina, but in a certain light, it does appear to have a cream-like color. At other times, it is much more pale green, looking more modern. It is a strange effect that I have never seen on any other watch, and it is probably an optical illusion. Being a thick application of a modern compound, the dial and hands still light up like a torch in the dark.

What “hasn’t aged so well” on the PAM00210?

I am inclined to say that the PAM00210 is still perfect in 2024. Times have changed, though. The Unitas 6497-based caliber OP X inside isn’t really to today’s standards anymore. Although it is very nice to look at through the oversized sapphire case back, it isn’t very finely finished.

The thing is, I don’t feel it is justified that it is out of vogue. These movements are dead simple and extremely reliable. The power reserve is a perfectly fine 56 hours, and you get a beautiful swan-neck regulator. I also find the modified Panerai version rather visually attractive. It was even a COSC-certified chronometer in the PAM00210. A big bonus is that any decent watchmaker can service it cheaply and quickly.

To me, this kind of caliber is perfect for Panerai super clone watches for men. I don’t see the brand as a maker of Haute Horlogerie. I have written before that I wish Panerai would just stick to ébauche calibers and a lower price point. Still, I would understand if people looked at the PAM00210 and saw a watch with an outdated movement. Think twice, though. It may be the better owning experience!

Is the PAM00210 still an appealing buy in 2024?

To answer this question, I think we should have a look at Panerai’s current offerings. The top online replica Panerai Radiomir Officine PAM01383 watches is the most basic Radiomir, with a price of €5,000. The differences with PAM00210 are a blue sunburst dial, faux patina, a closed case back, a P.6000 caliber inside, and the lack of a sandwich dial. If you want a sandwich dial (unfortunately only available in versions with vignette dials and patinated cases), you have to move up to the Tre Giorni models at €7,200. That is a pretty steep jump for an incredibly similar watch with just a pre-aged case and a different dial texture.

Suddenly, the €4K average price of a pre-owned PAM00210 doesn’t seem so daunting anymore. You get the original styling, a tank of a chronometer caliber, a sandwich dial, and no embellishments. Your mileage may vary, but to me, this is a very appealing proposition. Then again, I would say so, having already put my money where my mouth is.

For all the reasons above, I feel the Swiss made fake Panerai Radiomir PAM00210 watches is a real sweet spot in today’s market. On a more personal note, I found it to be much more wearable than expected to boot. I have a 17cm wrist, but I don’t find the 45mm Radiomir overpowering at all. I would even go so far as to call it versatile. I fully expected to wear it on rare occasions only, but I find myself constantly reaching for it during the colder months when I wear leather straps.

Closing thoughts

There is no denying that the Panerai Radiomir is an evergreen watch. Whether the PAM00210 is its ultimate incarnation is perhaps more subjective. It is to me, though, and I would pick it again if I had to choose my one favorite PAM.

Top 1:1 Panerai Replica Watches UK Customers Want An Experience That Goes Beyond Just Owning A Product

Panerai’s new, sprawling boutique in Mumbai’s Jio World Plaza heralds a new phase in the luxury watchmaker’s India journey. The boutique is cheap Panerai replica watches‘ biggest retail space in the country yet with a canvas spanning 60 square metres that allows Panerai to let the space reflect its own world-famous design ethos.

For Pontroué, it’s ultimately about the power of storytelling. “We have worked on delving deep into our heritage, revisiting our emblematic design principles that have defined Panerai’s identity throughout.”

With the new boutique launched, Panerai is bringing in the cavalry with a variety of new watches which include but aren’t limited to the new range of luxury replica Panerai Radiomir watches which have come back in a big way, this year. “While the Luminor and the Submersible remain India’s key collections, our clientele has reacted very positively to the Radiomir collection this year.”

The Luminor Due, launched at last year’s Shanghai edition of Watches and Wonders, is another timepiece that has garnered a lot of interest.”

“We revealed the Swiss movements fake Panerai Luminor Due Luna TuttoOro PAM01504 watches, the Maison’s first moon phase model with a Panerai Goldtech™ bracelet, as well as the Luminor Due PAM01423, a 42mm case introducing for the first time the precious yellow gold in the Luminor Due line, intently appointed with a contemporary touch where it is paired with a green alligator strap featuring scale ridges in a darker shade to lend a dynamic nuance to the timepiece.”

Vintage-inspired styles, replete with shop-worn patina and old-school ruggedness have also made their way to India, following the resounding success of the Panerai Luminor California collection. “Pieces such as the Radiomir Quaranta Goldtech™ PAM01026, able to embody vintage appeal, refined details and classic elegance, immediately appealed to watch lovers. After all, this is a contemporary interpretation of best quality super clone Panerai’s first-ever watches and a faithful homage to our origins”

When asked about building on wholesale replica Panerai watches‘ legacy in India, Pontroué’s response is decisive and clear. “As we steer into the future, we will keep on focusing on evolving across our four fundamental collections. A key component of this evolution is embracing technological innovation, not only in terms of the materials we use but also in the making of our calibres, showcasing our manufacturing capabilities.”

Attesting to the evolution in both the tastes and the aspirations of India’s Paneristi, Pontrué knows that for the truly discerning, even an exotic retail experience doesn’t suffice. “We have taken horology to new experiential heights, with the launch of innovative timepieces that are not just instruments of time but also passports to unforgettable adventures. With the online 2024 fake Panerai Radiomir Annual Calendar Platinumtech™ Experience PAM01432 watches we are thrilled to transport once again our clients into a specially curated adventure (March 2024), that would be otherwise inaccessible.”
