...as you know several people have bought the watch (including myself) under the assumption that it is a LE. It is a real stretch to think that they can make that change after they have sold a handful. My guess is that as part of the "settlement" with the Italian Navy, Panerai was asked to sell the watches in a "low profile" way. I believe the Navy has another licensee form the Marina Militare trademark and perhaps this compromise was reached?

This may have been discussed but now the 339 SE is officially gone from all sources and sites. Now they have managed to fixed even the iphone apps and 339 is already no longer an official SE for 2010. What's the real reason for this? Was it the MM logo is...

it doesn't have so much to do with the MM logo. my guess is that they are not making it SE anymore, ie, they will make it regular production?

317's last batch with darkened pvd movement, the pig, the MM... you see a trend here. PANERAI is all about HUULA BOOLA because it's an ingenious marketing company that sells a fashion item with lots of HUULA BOOLA to get us all hyped right? The pig, then ... 

Sorry but.....

317 with MM? I haven't heard that one. I thought Panerai and MM, particularly after the 339 "drama" were not...touchy feely....anymore.... Cheers - Sirjo
