It looks like FAUX AGED PATINA is executed to some degrees on 412 and 366 with more CREMA on the LUMINOVA but they really went out of their ways to make sure 360 has the closest and best RIPE FAT! I see this as a trend and I wouldn't be surprised to see m...  

Contrasted with a white variety of fish!...  

it ads a more appealing charachter to the watch YES , would it make the patina of PAM 21 and PAM 203 less appealing never . the degree of the color is different ... however i see the vintage luminova on all pams as a thing related to their roots... Faisal

it does seem to me that the black watch trend is giving way to vintage brown on PAM. This is also true on many other brands like Bell and Ross. It was cool PVD in black but now B&R is also doing vintage brown strap. Brown is the new black for let's see ho... 

which always make me wonder which brand will do it best in creating a timeless watch within the sarrounding trend in the time its being created in . Faisal

First of all, this kind of " patina " looks like the non matching TRUE patina of the Pre V 201/ A, 202/A, not the others. A Vintage is a Vintage, and any Beautiful Pre V can't compete with them, as any modern can't compete with the Pre Vs. They are all pa... 

those who are new to pam and its history to appreciate how the modern 'patina' came about So it's a good thing when those interested would explore the past and appreciate them better. Mech.

And comestically, a nice one. Best, Nicolas.

The current new dials of the 360 and the those of 359, 412 etc, are awesome, imo. But the true aged tritium dials are truly a breed on its own, and appreciated by many till today. I look at these new dials as a diversity from OP and variety to the consume... 

nothing like Tdial in person...stunning.. I never really appreciate it until I saw a NM 201A.. WOW...yummy......  

did go the extra mile to make sure the Faux tina on the 360 will look a lot more orange compared to the yellowish 412 and 366. The Faux tina on the Pam 341 is also very nice. I think it will be a trend, but remains to be seen if Panerai will use it more i... 

it won't make much sense trying too hard to fake a real patina, with a small reservation for all to appreciate the difference, be it good, historic, purpose etc, in full knowledge and admiration of all models. 10, 20 years down the road, the faux patina w... 

both very useful, for different reasons. Just don't mix them and don't...compare them, IMO of course. Cheers - Sergio

on certain models only, I think it looks great on your pieces for sure, and would look nice on say a historic 47mm, but would be doubtfull if they start introducing on all models. just my opinion Imran

but that´s not something I want to point out. If you want to know why the PreV dials are special you can read up on it on the web. About the font though. Clearly panerai chose to use the same painted font (but vintage patina colour) on the 360 as has been... 

have places 360, 2a , 415 together. IMO, 415 is the way to go, Yes, the 360 should have the 415 fonts, it would be perfect . You wiil slowly apperciate the all the boutique SE time to time. I am enjoying every moment. Thanks for posting a simple but impor...
