I much prefer the 190...
And its JLC movement, to the 346 " in house " movement ...
Well, let's not speak about the movements, but about the dial, which is to me the most important thing when it comes to Panerai:
The Date kills which would have been, once again, IN MY OPINION AND PERSONAL TASTE ( what a prudent disclaimer! 
), a very interesting dial, without it...
The date is like a hole on this dial...
As always: " The Simpler, the Better.".

190 or 346?
Which 8 days pam do you prefer? 190 with JLC movement or the new 346 with an in-house movement? Thanks... Cheers

I could have guessed.....
your reply my friend... I also agree on the date..... It would be quite interesting to see which of the two will eventually be more collectible/desirable..... Cheers
190 without doubt as the case is thinner than 346 one
due to the heigth of the "in house" calibre. I also do not like date window and date in general for Panerai watches. Just my thought, Cheers, Patrickh
For me, the 190 because it's in steel
If the PAM346 came in a steel version (instead of the current titanium) with the same combo or even black dial w/ gold hands, then definitely the PAM346 hands down for me. Cheers, Anthony
I don't have preference on the date because it balances out
the sub-secs at 9 o'clock for me. - AT
190 for me too...
however I'm having problems tracking one down in mint condition....I'm in no rush thankfully..!! The 346 could have been almost a perfect replacement if it wasn't for the date window, the different case matrial and thickness wasn't really a problem and di...
Although i prefer brown dials....
i would go with the 190 as there is no date! alepos
190 over 346 tentatively...
At least until I see it in the metal, as many has stated I'm not so sure about the date & loupe But 323 over both as it has a 47mm case and a non-loupe date, only thing which bothers me about the watch is the sub-dial above 6 o'clock Of all the new releas...
This is a tough one PinkPanther.
Until we can live with the 346 for a while, I give my vote to the 190. The 346 must be given a chance though. Here's how it breaks down for me: Case - 246 Dial - 190 Movement - toss up Wearability - tbd Best, Jed
I like the 346...
For a few reasons: I actually very much prefer having the date at 3 o'clock. As someone else mentioned, it gives the dial balance, and it is useful to me. I also prefer the titanium case, nice tobacco dial and I like that the movement is from Panerai. Of ...
346
Though the 190 is certainly beautiful, the Ti case and brown dial appeal to me a bit more.
190 for me....
the date, in my personal opinion, doesn't belong on this watch. I'm seeing more and more recent models with dates and eventually I'll get used to it but not on that watch. Cheers
