thoughts on the 384
The 384 is almost a killer piece in my mind but I'm just not a Rad guy. If Panerai is listening please issue the 384 in a black ceramic 44mm luminor case, no date, PR on the back and please please please keep the faux patina'd sandwich dial. Regular production SIHH 2012!

I would tend to agree
either you are lucky to get it the first time around or you just forget it. The standard one is just as nice as far as I am concerned. So are you going to go for? Best regards, George
I see Panerai as 2 collections..44 and 47
in the 44 I would like a good mix of 1950, Luminor and Radiomir as well as metals/materials so for a ceramic...is there better value than the 292???? I dont think there is...so its no brainer for me hopefully the 386 will add a brown composite and 1950......
as a collectors item it is worth the difference
take a 1680 white or a 1680 red 100รน te same watch, the price difference is more than 3 or 4K
or a R series Daytona..point taken Bruno.. :) I still wouldnt..
its not halal...... LOL Imran
LoL....
I think both version are equally beautiful... Normal 292 is a pure design... While 292 with PIG will always be the unique counterpart.. Here's a photo of my ex: Best, Sam...
Unfortunately I don't think that will ever happen Art23
Putting the power reserve on the back of a watch housing a P.200X movement hasn't been done yet, if I recall correctly. And so, you'll never find a model that way unless Panerai makes some major changes which I think is highly unlikely. - Anthony
I think they did modify the 2002 for the new 368
and put the 8 day power reserve on the back. on the website it says the 368 uses the 2002/9 calibre 8 day power reserve shown on the back and they also did it for the 346 (8 day Ti rad) I would love to see the 2002/9 dropped in a 44mm black ceramic 1950 l...
Ah wow. If that's the case, then definitely expect more "fangs" to appear on the back
We'll get a whole new line of the same watches but with a cleaner dial. So anyone who liked a particular P.200X watch but didn't like the fang power reserve on the front, I wouldn't be surprised to see new models which may suit your tastes now! Cheers, An...
you're probably right. I actually do like both
and own a 270. I think the "fang" works well on the 270 given the "busier" dial with the date etc. But for a hand wound piece without a date I think the PR has to be on the back, otherwise the fang without a date may look unbalanced on the dial.
Let me understand......
you see a watch you have no use for (basically) and ask Panerai...in so many words....to produce a completely different one, just so you might like it and buy it. Am I right? I am scratching my head somethin' fierce.. Cheers - Sirjo
I'm sorry, did I miss some sort of etiquette?
Let me try again... I think the 384 is a very nice watch, in particular the faux patina dial on the black ceramic case is a killer combination. However I prefer the luminor case design and would love to see Panerai issue a 44mm 1950 luminor in black ceram...
No etiquette breach.....
I simply found your post, well....peculiar...and shared it with you. Public forum...your opinion, my opinion...stuff like that... Cheers - Sirjo
