Officine Panerai

Does anyone own both? If yes please post some feedback.

I'm pondering purchasing one of the two but unfortunately 339 can only be had on the grey market.

I'm back into Panerai after SIHH 2011 and would like to build a collection of 47mm Panerai watches.

Many thanks in advance.

of the more stylish watch OP has come out in these few years. For the 323 its nice but more of a dress watch.

339 if you are looking for Rads

but since both Watches are VERY Different in terms of Look Function & Complications. it should be very easy to pick one out..

so it all depends on what you Want in a Watch.!

 besides,NO need to Pay over the Retail for the 339 . they're just starting to roll out . many People have been taking delivery of it lately (have you contacted your local AD ?!).

 best of luck.

I dont own both but I have played around with both watches before...

They both have total opposite character...

323 is automatic , a little bit dressier and it is a heavy watch

While 339 is manual winding, has a vintage look to it, dueto it's brown color and it is very light...

I would suggest you to figure out what are you going to wear it for... If you're going to wear it for your professional life, I think 323 is the choice... But if you're looking to wear it for casual wear 339 is definitely the watch to have...

If the choice is given to me, I'd pick 339 anytime.. As it is a unique combination of Panerai's military root and modern Pamerai's watchmaking know how with the material and movement...

Good luck with your hunt

Gotta agree. My 292 is pretty casual.. and I feel the 339 falls pretty much into that same category. The 323 is definitely more of a dressier piece, but could also be worn casually.

If 339 can be had from an AD that would be great news!

Perhaps I could get both then

due to MM and limited availabitliy.

to build a good collection of 47mm, I'd say you would want the followings:

1. 372 (6152 re-invented)
2. 339 (Radiomir Ceramic Composite)
3. 382 (Lum Sub in Bronze)

The above 3 will make the best 47 mm collection. Unless you want the 249 look alike for 2011 SIHH in Platinum which I do not recommend like 373 376

If means allow, 1,2 and 3. If not, 1 and 2 only. Worst comes to worst, wait for 372.

as Sam wrote, with tremendous insight IMHO: chalk&cheese. My money (even though a lot more than I would have liked) on the 339, every day of the week and twice on sunday! The 323? A spectacular watch, still IMHO, together with the 311 the most beautiful models I will......never.....buy...
