So what do you guys think of the new models at SIHH

They are shown here.

link to paneristi

Overall, cool, but I'm not looking to buy any.

My thoughts...
Great news on another manufattura movement. We now have a sammy luminor
They still aren't giving us what we ask for...
--fiddy base
--more brown dials

Some very interesting offerings. The lack of a cyclops is an interesting idea and to me makes them more "business like".

The 341 is great in my book. Vintage coloration with functionality. The price......

Mik, I'm really loving the 320. I like the 44mm 1950 case, and I really like that they took the power reserve meter off of the dial and no date bubble. Looks very clean...

I don't know how big the 341 will be. It might be 60mm!!!

Yeah it looks good. Just wish they would have put the domed crystal on it.

I'm in serious love with the 320! They cleaned up the dial, put the 9 back on, got rid of the cyclops and moved the power reserve indicator to the back!!!!!!!!!!!
What's not to love?
I'm not the biggest of fans of domed crystals so this makes it even nicer. I'm going to set the picture of the 320 on the black alligator strap as my new back ground so I have a daily reminder of what I'll be saving for.

Here are the preliminary prices.

another link to paneristi

Looks like for the hour hand on the 320 v 312 you pay 1k euro!

I am loving the 28. 332 is also a beauty.
312 is also nice, I'd be interested to see the side pic, people mentioned that the dome isn't as curved as the current 1950 models.

Saw that. Whew! At 19K euro Panerai has helped me out on the 341.

Wonder when the new offerings will be released and how long do they take to make it into the AD pipelines?

I have to agree... The 341 looks really good. Kind of pulls me toward that Submersible look which is something I did not think would happen - but, that is a pretty cool looking watch. 19k Euro is that what the price is? Wow... I need another job...

Were the prices listed?
Wonder if the 3day reserve will be reasonable, compared to the 8 or 10 day movements.

I came across a price of 5900 Euro's which based on the current exchange rate is $7,735.00 for the 320.

Its a historical piece which is perfect. True it would be more practical if it was smaller but I would still wear it on occasion. It just pushes all my buttons and true some of the others are nice they just dont do it for me.

Agreed 47mm would have been to perfect but would make it even harder to get.

I think they did a good job with both the releases and also the price points.

Agreed. I really like the 312, sort of a stripped-down 233.

That said, I do wish they would break out with even one model. After a while, I feel like I'm looking at the same sandwich (no pun intended), and relegated to choosing between condiments.

i cant say im actually overwelmed with the line up, i do like Pan moving more towards there in house movements, and as a GMT lover i do like the GMT's yet IMHO the 1950 case is not a 1950 without the domed crystal.. yet thats just me, they do look "cleaner"

the big hitter the 341 i think they whent overboard, 59mm is IMHO to big perhaps nice to show off on a meeting but for 19K i would deff like a model i could actually wear LOL..

i also do like that the the DLC'd cases is something that Pan is moving forward in also.. D@MN... now need to save up for the new GMT again .... :)
