Who's the fairest of them all? 
With the release of 662/663, OP will soon enter a new era of dial colour! So I'm taking this opportunity to try to recap the Panerai shades of brown:
The white balance settings on these shots are not consistent so I'll try to capture some comparison shots in the next post...

Some comparison shots
After going thru these pictures, I think the fairest of them would be a close tie between the 198, 203 & 339, what do you think? ...
My favorite brown was the Pam 36...
In the Vendome era... Now, in the vintage... This one is unbeatable, for me... ...
I think I'm the only one here who doesn't like that faded brown dial
I think a new watch with this dial would need to have patinaed hands to make it work. Otherwise it'll look awkward IMO. Cheers, Anthony ...
Personally I still prefer this
This dial looks more like a natural progression in terms of patina on the dial & the fading of colour whereas Vlad's preference almost looks like the watch was exposed excessively under the sun for long period of time... Obviously just MY opinion! ...
I would expect the dial on PAM36
to be quite closed to the 117 I pictured above... I guess I need to dig one up to do a better comparison?
Nice idea for a 3D. Some of the pictures, however...
do not do much justice to the dial.. Looking forward to your next...effort Ciao
I think the PAM36 brown dial is my most favorite
The PAM203 brown dial was too gray for me, and the PAM21 brown dial was too black and hardly brown. - AT
Brown dial, gold hands, and green lume...
I think I like the mint chocolate chip "look"... But the combination on the 390 is a great combo as well
I wish I can take credit...
But my Risti buddy Hawaiian Timer introduced the phrase when describing those dial combos
