So. How many of you guys would jump on a

Bronze Panerai. I own a Bronze Anonimo Glauco (I know it´s something totally different. Craftmenship is superb by the way) and the bronze case is really eye catching. I polished it up once with cape cod to remove some scratches after wich it was shiny as gold but it patinaed within 3 weeks back to it´s former vintage glory. As some of you may know i´m not a fan of ceramics after seeing what can happen after you drop it. Not a fan of the aluminium (composite) either because of it´s lightness (love the colour though) but bronze will be just like wearing a steel watch. Just love the heft and the colour. Any thoughts?

And well, i kind of like the fact that it changes colour over time, especially into that greenish rusted look. If i am not mistaken that's what will happen? Hoho can't wait to see Panerai pair this one up with a dark green dial! Ciao Stephen This message ...

But watchcase has a lot of groves and exposed "screw heads", very hard to polish back to original. The greenish platina is great, but it looks sickly and even unhealthy!! Best, Horo

Btw r u talking abt the bronze prototype tht has been on sale since the earth cooled?

tomorrow at the SIHH!!!!!!!!!!! Guillermo

its been done before like my genta, so I am not sure if I would jump

But still very interesting conceptually. I am sure there will be hot demand from paneristis. Its not too difficult I think to have a bronze case, it's a tradtional material. I look forward to seeing it in the flesh, or press. Best, Horoi

Not sure if I would. I'd have to see how it looks in the flesh

I'm waiting more for Panerai to release a different case, dial, etc. rather than different case material. Cheers, Anthony

I'm intrigued by the idea...

and after seeing the 382 Bronzo , i even liked it More, but not with that that Particular Dial !!! the Green is a No No for me.. but like the Bronze Metal for the same reasons as you mentioned. I BET WHITE DIAL WOULD LOOK REALLY NICE (MUCH NICER THAN GREE...
