You can get the Tuttonero w/ a ceramic bracelet (PAM438) $16,300 or with a regular leather strap (PAM441) $12,800. I love the pure matte look of the Tuttonero which gives it a nice stealth look to the watch. Also, the P.9000 automatic movement has a black...  

It looks great, I'm not a huge fan of DLC/ceramic but it is great to see the options being produced. As for desk diving, it will excel!!! Just ask any 292 owner!! Actual diving with being knocked on coral/rocks,etc will be interesting to see? Then again, ... 

I think ceramic is great and essentially has put pvd/dlc in it's grave. Not too sure about the ceramic bracelet myself but I'm generally not a fan of bracelets on PAMs. I had the 279 titanium and loved it for a while but sold it. Cheers. Lou in SoCal

Somehow, the big-small numerals just don't agree with my eyes. The 'ceramica' imprint also doesn't sit well with me. Heard all kinds of horror stories about how brittle ceramic is; have not had any issues personally but if there is any truth to that at al... 

Ceramic is a great, hard wearing compound. It is, however and as we know, brittle. So if you don't drop it (or really whack it) onto a hard surface, you'll be fine. That being said, the same knock or drop required to break a ceramic case, will, on a norma...

lasting piece. How heavy is it? cheers PAt

as compared to maybe Ti. But it's an interesting move to do the bracelet in ceramic. cheers PAt

if the finish on the bracelet will last long as the sample that we witness was already showing signs of finishing rubbing off at high contact area on the bracelet.

then the bracelet will eventually turn polished looking at the high contact areas? - AT

After seeing both versions (bracelet and strap) and gathering a variety of well-considered opinions tonight at the terrific NY Boutique event, I think the Tuttonero works best with a brown strap for the contrast. The,(rather thin), bracelet is version is ... 

without the black bracelet that keeps it...tutto nero...it just wouldn't make sense. As for what it may look like, I guess I don't much care.. :-) Ciao - Sergio
