PAM00346 Radiomir 8 Days Titanio 45MM
is a great challenger for 399 as it have a titanium case, brown dial, 8 days power reserve
AND Power indicator on the back side,
Even if I would prefer to not have a date, IMO
To be considered as a good alternative if you do not have a 190.
Cheers,

So now we have all the new Panerai SIHH 2010 watches. What are your initial thoughts?
Some quick observations of mine of the Panerai SIHH 2010 line-up right off the bat: a) Brown (tobacco) dials are no longer going to be used sparingly. Seems like Panerai introduced this year's offerings with more brown dials which is unusual. Usually the ...
Thoughts ...
Spectacular indeed and going towards the development of more inhouse movements.. The PAM339 looks awesome with the case with brown hue, going well with the dial.. I was thinking if they will develop one in 1950 or Luminor case too.. That will be great. Th...
A Luminor version of the PAM339 should happen next yr
or the year after that IMO. Can't wait to see how that will look! - AT
Yup
Panerai can possible create a new material (composite), get the relevant tools and make 1000 pieces and call it a day! Since they already mentioned that ceramic is difficult/expensive to make and this composite is so like ceramic, this may spell the end o...
First Thanks to Panerai, Kong and you Anthony for
this report in a so short time. I appreciate a lot your professionalism. Panerai this year will propose watches for all their large range of Paneristis : -Tourbillions and Skeleton for Complicated watches Brand collectors -Mare Nostrum for Pure Historical...
Yup seems like Panerai made a little of everything for everyone
Smaller 42mm Rads for those who wanted smaller Panerai's, the PAM365 Equation of Time for those who wanted complications, the PAM300 for those who wanted a hommage piece, and the PAM359 for those who wanted a new Panerai dial, PAM339 for new case material...
Thumb up for 300 & 339
thumb down for 348 & 365 just can't perceive them as Panerai different people different taste so obviously Panerai had covered all tastes and angels for this year It is also great to have all here so quickly Congratulations to PPro Moderators Best Damian
PAM348 and PAM365 are the highlights for me this year :)
The PAM300 doesn't do anything for me. Actually, even the original Mare Nostrums never didn't anything for me. I just don't their design and never will IMO. - AT
Definitely a good year
I agree with all your points. Particularly about Panerai going up market. While it has definitely been a good year, my initial view is that it is not the spectacular year I was anticipating. I thought Panerai would go all out to celebrate its 150 year ann...
Yeah it's disheartening to see retail watch pricing going up and up each year
Makes it more difficult to even buy one of the "hot" models And it doesn't hurt that the US Dollar is weak... - AT

Many thanks to Kong and Anthony for the great reports!!
My thoughts: 1. The 339 is a work of art -- far and away the best in class!!! 2. The 351 is also a great piece -- beautiful brown dial, gold hands and Ti case -- reasonably priced -- readily available non-SE -- a real winner. I love the fact that Panerai ...
346 and 339 winners for me but
there are a few others that i like but the size being too large will keep me away but im happy with the 346 as an alternative to the 190 seems like it has bypassed the 268 as the 190 as taken all the thunder
Hmm a 40mm 1950 Luminor
Maybe we'll see a 40mm Luminor housing the P.999 movement next yr? But then if Panerai does make this, will it use a regular crystal or the domed 1950 Luminor crystal? Too bad we can't read Sig. Bonati's mind - AT
Indeed some interesting pieces....
Following are the ones that i really liked: The 339 is the beater, nice brownish dial, 47mm. The 300 is also nice and unique, wish i can get one. The 351 and 359 from the contepmorary line are the nicest, the colors, the case, the dials. Indeed the brown ...
I'd say keep it going this way...
New materials, new designs, and definitely bigger watches! But at 52mm, the PAM 300 is historically correct, so no complains here! Cheers and thanks for your thoughts Anths! Stephen
I'd like everything to keep going this way except for 1 thing
Stop making even more larger watches like the new 50mm and 52mm models. There needs to be a day when Panerai says, this is the largest we will go. 50mm and 52mm is unwearable for the vast vast vast majority! Cheers, Anthony
