I too disliked the Fang but it has historic significance and it draws your eye.

POLL: Which Panerai power reserve indicator display do you like?

 
 By: AnthonyTsai : December 17th, 2009-10:30
Hey all, I thought this would make for an interesting poll since we haven't had a poll in quite some time. Cheers, Anthony ===== PAM344 - circular (left) & PAM319 - fang (right)...  

fang rules !

The infamous fang of the 233 is simply the best to me!

I voted circular [nt]

I voted circular but between those 2 I would say fang. But it was not a chtonograp I would probably prefer circular

I have to say when the fang first came out I hated it...

Now I love it...I will say though if the PR on the 344 was a little different I might change my vote..to me it just gets lost in the dial like it is

Second that, Marc /nt [nt]

For me, I still voted for the fang

I thought I would like the circular power reserve indicator since I never really liked the fang indicator. But the more I looked at the circular indicator, the more I didn't like it. I think if Panerai changed the look of the circular indicator, I might l... 

Well....

between the two .... fang ... But I prefer the 190,,, on the back... Cheers

Another vote for the fang...

I still prefer the original fang, but IMO the circular version would look great if it had a different hand. Regards, ED-209...  

Nice 233 with a nice strap! [nt]

The fang is much nicer...

...because it's so "unsual". Easy choice for me, Anthony

the Panerai PR versions looks like Porsche

head lights for 911 models: - 964, 993 and then 997 versus 996 (rejected or "wrong" version) for Porsche's purists Cheers, patrickh

Another comparison

I wonder if the pink gold on the 344 and 319 are indeed different. I've always thought that the PG case made by Panerai were a still a touch too yellow/goldish for my taste but the colour tone of the 344 pictured here seemed almost perfect to me!

Def the fang for me... its unique to Panerai

 
 By: ed : December 18th, 2009-11:46
All the other brands already have the circular one... Interesting poll

the fang is more unique.

so that would be my pick. Tony

To my own surprise I voted for the fang.

 
 By: joshua71 : December 18th, 2009-17:45
I wasn't a big fan of the fang and I still don't love it but the dial just looks odd to me. Could it be that over time the fang will be accepted as a signature Panerai detail? I think that I will always prefer the PR indicator on the back - like the 190 -... 

Circular for me. [nt]

+1 for the fang

 
 By: bgillis : December 20th, 2009-10:52
but I will always prefer the PR indicator on the back (eg: discontinued PAM 190).

Fang looks good to me. [nt]

Fang, but...

 
 By: schmitttom : January 13th, 2010-05:35
Like shown on these pictures, I definitely prefer the fang indicator. I am sure though, that the circular indicator would look much better if the hand would be in the same style as the small seconds and the chrono hands.

Thanks Anthony

I think the fang adds some deepness to the dial. The circular looks to me poor and flat.... Fang PR is also more special, unique
