Different perspective!

Functionally quite sufficient for everyday uses, but for me to revisit the DNA, i do prefer something simple (after having 317, and 311)

What do you guys think of this new dial w/ applied numerals? Like it or not?

 
 By: AnthonyTsai : October 17th, 2012-15:53
I don't hate it but not sure if I like it. Guess I have to get used to it. I do like the applied numerals and hope we can see more applied numeral variations in the future. Cheers, Anthony

When I first saw the press photo..

I was thinking more along the lines of the PAM359.. then noticed the applied numerals and the dots...isn't it a bit anti Panerai? I guess I am considered old guard now as I associate sandwich or painted numerals with PAM. The combo of the applied smaller ... 

I can't even look at these pieces...

what a horrible...HORRIBLE. dial. I find it sad that Rimemont has chosen to goe "toe to toe" with Breiteling. The applied numerals are just an insignifican detail in the abomination that this dial represent :-) :-) Cheers

That's where I want to...belong..

come one, I understand budgets, numbers, profits etc. I also agree that the "Dollar God", on occasions, requires sacrifices but foregoing your heritage...this....much, is unforgiveable. Going down this lane, in a few years a Panerai will be unrecognoisabl... 

don't like, very odd especially with the "6" and "12"...

... when you say "i have to get used to it..." i guess its means you dont like it but you like the brand. We are too far from panerai DNA, its not just the numerals, the whole dial is too crowded. What bothers me the most is between the numerals. I liked ... 

Unique design!

Ciao Anths! Thanks for the press release! Ciao Stephen

busy dial

I like it but with the metal they used and quantities they are making, it would be crazy expensive.

Too crowdy for me. [nt]

Uuuugh !!

sorry .... but I don't think a lot of people were waiting for these .... especially given the gold and platinum prices are rather high. Besides the dial doesn't look nice IMO.

Possibly the people in Brussels wern't waiting Patrick?

there are other places in the world , you know ;-) Nice catching up in London! Asi

Can't wait seeing one on your wrist then ... in Montreal ??

des gouts et des couleurs ..... like the French say ;)

Don't get it

 
 By: Stefan2 : October 18th, 2012-07:32
I don't get it. These pieces may be appealing to a wider market, but to me they depart from what is best about Panerai. I thought Panerai was done with producing pieces that are so mainstream looking.

I will reserve judgement until I can see them in person

 
 By: Bill : October 18th, 2012-11:16
But at first glance they do feel a little to busy but it may be the position for the more high end watches busy with lots of bells. Bill

hey Bill, I see the sea is giving a lot... wisdom too ?

Or should I say blonde. I hope to connect with you this Xmas in the homeland with Nico. Kind regards Bill

That's a good serie 'Homeland' ;-) Of course YES

 
 By: PoyFR : October 19th, 2012-00:45
Hey Bill this will be great, let me know, I look forward to it! Let's try to have extra time...

Commiwhat? ;) [nt]

Very mixed emotions...

While I like some details about these (such as the applied numerals or the engraved rotor), the overall appearance has me shuddering. No offense meant, but these just don't do it for me. As many have pointed out already, way too much going on on the dial....
