New Panerai 2021 White Dials

In this video Elizabeth gets a sneak peek at Panerai's new white dial models for 2021 - the PAM01271 40mm Luminor, PAM01223 42mm Submersible, and PAM01218 44mm Luminor chronograph.

The PAM01271 is one of three 40mm Luminors announced by Panerai in 2021. Panerai discontinued the 40mm size a few years ago, and is re-releasing the 40mm size in classic Luminor cases.

PAM01223 is the first time Panerai has done a 42mm Submersible with a white dial. The black accents on the white dial give the watch a sharp contrasting look that is already gaining a lot of attention.

The PAM01218 is a breakthrough for Panerai chronographs - a chronograph for Panerai under $10,000. Make sure to look closely for the light blue detailing on the dial. Oliver Smith Jeweler has been a leader in luxury watch dealing for 40 years.

Tiffany dial Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167 - Double Signed Double Value

In our latest YouTube video Oliver and George discuss the added value provided by a simple little line of text.

Double signed watches have been seen from many retailers like Bucherer and Beyer but a favorite has long been Tiffany & Co., as shown by current market prices. Featured in today's video is a Patek Philippe 5167 Aquanaut, which by itself is an incredibly desirable watch, once the stamp is added however, it becomes quite a bit more valuable.

The Best Panerai Watch - the PAM01312

Elizabeth explains why the PAM01312 Luminor is the most popular watch from Panerai today, and the best Panerai to buy for your first purchase with the brand.

We like to say that the 1312 is the perfect Panerai because of the way it includes so many iconic traits of the Panerai design language in a practical and reasonably priced package.

Panerai has made many variations of the Luminor over the years but the 1950 case and sandwich dial are two things that have remained extremely desirable to those who appreciate the brand.

How To Buy A Vintage Panerai

Panerai’s history and “pre-vendome” Panerai watches can be confusing and intimating for a first time buyer. Even Paneristi’s can get confused when new historic Panerai pieces hit the market. At Oliver Smith Jeweler we love the Panerai brand and take pride in being experts on historic Panerai watches.

In this video George and Oliver review a very rare pre-vendome 209, only one of one produced. They also talk about homage Panerai pieces and what to look for when buying your first vintage Panerai.

Rolex GMT Master II "Root Beer" Review

In our latest YouTube review, Skylyr tells the story of a GMT from Rolex. There are a lot of nicknames that might fit the 126715CHNR better than root beer, but Rolex fans can be creatures of habit and"root beer" works pretty well. In any case, it's a flavor we enjoy and we think you will too.
