....That's not head over heels for the 339??

Now I love the 203. It's probably my favorite Panerai, even over the 127.

It's just the ceramic/PVD/composite styled watches don't do it for me. This said, I'd never pay the price for a 339, let alone the premium that's apprarently going to be had...

Anybody else???..

This is only my humble opinion....

gmtobsessed · 24 January 2010, 01:35 PM

I love it, except for the solid case back.

Psmith · 24 January 2010, 01:44 PM

I love how this watch looks, but would prefer it in SS (PVD/DLC or not) with a display back

I'm not a fan of ceramic or titanium cases.

Cheers

Zirotti · 24 January 2010, 01:49 PM

Ugh, beautiful dial but in a Radomir case. Never understood the attaction to the Rad cases.

ParisDakarBmw · 24 January 2010, 01:51 PM

The case is a bit of a turn off for me.

GBJIV · 24 January 2010, 05:21 PM

If I had the opportunity.... I would buy one. No doubt about it.

Trurolexer · 24 January 2010, 05:39 PM

I love 339. But for sure I can't afford it. Or I don't want to spend my money for 16k watch.

My Holy Grail is 21.

Andad · 24 January 2010, 06:39 PM

I like the idea of an in-house P2002 and I don't sort of mind the case.

but

I DON'T LIKE THE PRICE.

HL65 · 24 January 2010, 10:17 PM

Not a fan.

dukerules · 25 January 2010, 12:29 AM

I like it, but don't LOVE it like a lot of others. I'd like it more if it was a luminor case.

Ditto - I would rather pick up a 249 and 005 to add to my collection

mike · 25 January 2010, 01:45 AM

Bryan, I certainly understand the DNA of the 339, but like you it's not knocking me down.

The 29 on the otherhand caught my eye.

TswaneNguni · 25 January 2010, 02:00 AM

339 is one of the best releases in a while.47mm black ceramic rad case with brown dial will be a killer !!

I have a 292J an thats magificent and I think the 339 is going to beat it by quite a margin.

Trurolexer · 25 January 2010, 02:06 AM

Sorry Chris, I think the case not ceramic...

I see its a brown composite.... Whats the "composite" material then ??

A1000 · 25 January 2010, 02:32 AM

I believe from what I undestand the 292 case is solid ceramic, whereas the composite for the 339 is an aluminium base with a very hard coating and hence it is a composite of the two. The process is a new process for Panerai and therefore not much known about it, however, the effect is I believe a material that is harder even than ceramic.

The 339 for me looks nice in the pictures, however, to get the full effect of the colour you will need to see it in the flesh as the dark brown finish is difficult to photograph and probably changes in different lights.

mfer · 25 January 2010, 02:39 AM

I love it, but it would be big for me at 47mm.

I wish Panerai would do something like this in 47mm for us "tiny" people. But, they won't listen to me. Why should they?

rr-nyc · 25 January 2010, 02:44 AM

IMO the 339 is a real beauty in my eyes but it still doesn't change my preference for a lum or 1950 case over the rad

maybe not the only one but for every person who does not like it, a few hundred would kill for it

for me it is one of the most beautifull watches Panerai ever made

Shade · 25 January 2010, 11:42 AM

I like the 339, but maybe not heads over heels about it, but I would prefer it in a 1950 case, and with a display back...

I do love the strap extremely, however.

I'm not that crazy over the 339. I don't get it, personally. It's cool but overhyped IMHO.

brainbizz · 25 January 2010, 01:01 PM

Im feeling the love for it and the Mare and am using my Panerai mojo to try and obtain both.

Agree,to bring out the true colour of the brown may be difficult.However looking at many pics,its seems a very dark brown,almost black,with the dial a slightly lighter shade of brown.I think this will provide a wonderful eye-catching contrast.

brainbizz · 25 January 2010, 01:28 PM

It will be the one to have ceramic or not.
