507 then 671 then 382.

As much as I like the blue, the pronzo is perfect to me. Love the "steam punk" look of the PR and bronze with the green dial. Has this analogue feel to it.

I would not buy any of these watches as they command a premium price and Panerai has proven that they will re-issue or modify a watch for sales and knock the value out of existing models. If I wanted a bronze watch, I did, I would go with the Tudor Black Bay Bronze and save 12K.

I am really liking the blue! That said the green is nice so no wrong choice.

For me, if I didn't want to pay for the Panerai, I'd go for the Oris Carl Brashear LE.

507!

507 all day!!!

PR fits this watch, plus makes it very unique that others do not have...
As well as it's an important function in a tool watch

Yes, but I still want a Tudor Bronze. I don't know why. It's like an evil mistress, can't get it out of my head. Especially on the nato.


Of the Pam, I would go blue, green (no PR) and the green PR.

I could get one Monday if I dont mind paying £400 - £600 over the odds. At the end of the day its just another watch I will not expire if I dont get one.
Trusted sellers are not much use to anyone in the UK.

A watch case that develops patina is too much for me. That's why i am never going to buy a bronze case watch.

To your question the answer is 671 not only for the killer blue but also for the maxi dial. The hands are definitely bigger than the other two and the hour markers i think that are also bigger from the other two.



and the comparison pics from panerai

Blue for sure. I think the blue compliments the bronze very well. Before and after patina.

Think panerai just released a handful of new bronzos for sihh if you havent seen them yet

I tried so hard to get a 507 at the time of their release. i love the layout and I am a big fan of a PR indicator.. So this would be my 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice

I'll be interested to see how the blue dial will look when there is some patina on the watch. It always looked good with the green but it will be interesting with the blue and if it will match.

507

I like the simplest best out of these three. I'm not a fan of the PR indicator in that position at the best of times but it looks to me like it's occupying too much space on that particular dial.

I love the 671 due to the blue dial but the slimmer case is what I don't like in the watch, 382 will always be the greatest bronze panerai ever
And guys what is your opinion about the slimmer case and the slimmer lugs

The thinner case is better
It is not thin.... just a bit "thinner" Which makes it more wearable

I got my local AD to contact Panerai to see if they will get any. Happy days they will get 1 in June from Panerai and I'm apparently first on their list.

Hopefully come June I won't be crying myself to sleep when Panerai don't deliver.
