Looking for a black watch. Which one do you think better?

384: amazing movement as 233, thinner, 8 days power reserve.
505: beautiful dirty brown dial, and brown-ish/black case. Composite material is harder to get scartch.

Theyre about in the same price from the grey market atm.

Well, if you want a "black" watch, then you have to go 384, since it is ceramic and black while the 505 is composite (treated aluminum) and brown.

So if i want the dark case, so between those two, which one you prefer?

505!

384. I love his watch. But it doesn't have the seconds reset.

Travelller · 19 March 2013, 10:59 AM

Sorry, can't choose either one; the 384 is too close to your 233 and the 505 as "automatic Radiomir" just doesn't work for me... .

What about the 504 (3 days composite)? My favorite ceramic PAM right now is the new 508 Sub... very hot!!!

Of course the grail of composite has to be the 339...
...and my [other] favorite ceramic is the 317...

I'm surprised to hear that since it shares the same base (P.2002) as my 233, which has said function...

Can not wear up to 47mm. It tried a few models, it made me feel uncomfortable.

Ok, well then, 384 if you're looking for a Radiomir (hey, Bruce Willis likes it

), 317 if you want an alternative to the P.2002

It has a variation of the 2002 movement. I was surprised also and at first thought the watch was defective.
