1st Panerai Please Help

[ashtoncvsg]

Hi Everyone! I am generally am IWC guy, but am strongly considering a Panerai for my next big purchase. Basically I am curious if what I'm looking for even exists. I'm going to list what I'm looking for in a Panerai and please tell me if it even exists.

Must be:
Luminor
Black PVD Case
Black Leather Strap
Automatic
Black Dial

As far as complications go I really don't care if it is a powere reserve, gmt, etc. I realize there is a special edition PAM 28, which is limited to 1000 pieces which has all of these features I'm looking for, but I really don't care about getting a limited edition. I'd rather get a reg production one and not pay the limited edition price. Anyway not even sure if what I'm looking for exists, but I'd love to hear from you guys if it does and which model it is. Thanks!

Also, if this my only option any ideas when it will be release if it isn't already? And how much it will sell for? Thanks again!

Beef, beautiful watch! That's pretty much exactly what I'm looking for, unfortunatly 25k is out of my budget. Basically I'm looking for something similar in look/price to the PAM 90, but w/ the Black PVD finish. Like I said I don't even know if anything like this exists, just thought if it did someone on here would know.

LOL - Your budget and mine!!!
Unfortunately this is the only PVD Luminor at this time. I hope we see some more pedestrian models in the future.

I'm curious how much the PAM 28 special edition is, but I can't find any info on it. I'm going to Tourneau in AC on Sat. so hopfully I can get some info.

Actually I'm assuming even though the PAM 28 is a limited run of 1000, I'm assuming it will be less expensive than the 317 for 2 reasons. The first being less complications, but even more so the 317 has an in house movement where as the 28 LE doesn't.

I forgot about the new 28! The PAM26 from last year was $8900 so the 28 should be in that neighborhood. If it's anyting like the 26 though they are all spoken for and will go for a huge premium on the secondary market.

I hear ya, that sucks. Hopfully in the near future we get a regular run black pvd similar to the PAM 90.
