Panerai Luminor Submersible 1000m "La Bomba" - PAM00087 (PAM87) H-Series #017/200

The Ultimate PAM87: Flawless H-Series Execution - No Dishwater Spots, No Patina...

As a 2005 H-series, this watch represents the final, perfected year of production. It bypasses a major flaw that plagued earlier series....

The Valve Defect (D, E, F & G Series)

• Trapped Moisture: Early models suffered from a defective helium valve that trapped micro-moisture inside the case.

• Irreversible Damage: This moisture caused tritium markers to turn an ugly dirty grey-brown and left unrepairable "dishwater spots" (corrosion) on the chrome hands.

• Serious Problem: An estimated 3 out of 5 vintage PAM87s suffer from this permanent cosmetic dial and hand corrosion.

The H-Series Correction - Panerai completely re-engineered the valve for the final H-series run. This pristine example is 100% free of defects, corrosion, or dishwater spots. The dial, hands, and tritium remain factory pristine.

Key Highlights

• The Rarest Run: The absolute lowest production year for the reference. Only 200 pieces were ever made, compared to 500 in earlier years.

• Pristine & Complete: An exceptionally rare find in collector-grade condition, offered as a complete set.

• Massive 1000m stainless steel case, solid caseback, 60-click bezel, and a helium release valve at 9:00.
