372 for me...
Despite my expectation for longer hands, to me, it is the nicest modern Panerai...
I love the newly designed case, to match with the original 6152/1.. And of course the engraved "LUMINOR PANERAI" That gives a nice vintage look to it...
The use of their in-house movement, although some expected the movement to be designed based on the Rolex movement... I really think it is a very good step forward for Panerai.. Show them that they're not just about look and heritage.
Thanks for the contest MW!!
Best,
Sam

PuristSPro.com Panerai Round #1
Hello all! Last week, the L.A. PuristSPro team had a chance to see the new for 2011 SIHH Panerai pieces at an event hosted by the Panerai Beverly Hills Boutique. Anthony Tsai ( click here ) and Bill N. ( click here ) posted some amazing live pics and yes,...
I Like the one Chad is holding in his hands, the 382...
Wished they had a manual wind version of the Panerai PAM 382. The use of bronze material makes this watch unique and a stand-out. It will appeal to new Panerai collectors as well as existing ones who are looking for something different in their collection...
I like the 372 because...
Panerai must have been reading my mind and that of many Panerai affectionados when they come up with this design. Yes, the hands could be longer and they could have put a rolex movement in it (which I suspect they may do and make it a limited edition in t...
375
Because I love the Fiddy 127 and what's there not to like about a composite version? Also my wrist is quite skinny and therefore the darker casing allows for a lower profile 47mm which is great. It's awesome, just awesome
372 and 382
372 comes first ... I THINK I really love the case and it is imo much better than the 127 of which I never liked the '1950' on the dial. Said it before but would you like it if the 232 / 249 had 1936 and 1938 on the dial ?? It also looks like the plexi is...
For me, it was the 372...
I feel that Panerai has created a modern watch that pulls directly from their history. From the case design to their use of the in-house movement, Panerai has created a modern calssic. It is the 47mm base model that most collectors have been waiting for, ...

I would pick the 375..........
As this is the composite model of the Pam 127. Alone,the 127 is the holy grail to so many of us who grew to admire the watch day by day.. Now the 375 comes with in- house movement, 47mm, lightweight and the same design of the fiddy. In additional with the...
382!
I cam totally in love with the 382, the Luminor Submersible 1950 "Bronzo"... As a child, I spent many hours immersed in books - one of my go-to favorites was "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" by Jules Verne. The watch really feels like it would be something ...
because
the 372 its just being true to the original without any makeup on , and the 382 due to the fact that a new metal is being used in panerais cases " though used before in some prototypes" however the over all idea of bronze brings the PATINA back but in a m...
close call
but 372 for the classic look and size with some new form cues on the case 382 is a very close second. The bronze just screams OCEAN! take me to the ocean! Reminds me of the old diving helmets.
Too many but...
Personally, I really like the 375 and 372. The 375, as John said above, is the modern Fiddy (127) that many of us missed out on earlier in the Panerai history. The Fiddy case is iconic and the composite just makes it even more unique. With the additional ...
382 followed by 372
Both homeruns and dramatic surprises. I see them both as highly coveted, with the 382 having a particularly strong future as a collectible.
386
Classic 1950's case wearable proportions in-house movement innovative material What isn't there to like ;-) Mike
From Collection 372 from SE 382
372 is indeed dream piece for me... true thoroughbred Panerai 382 the watch that in my book managed to "beat" Gefica ;0) Sincerely Damjan
PAM 376, 373 and 382...
I think the 2011 release is simply awesome and bold. It is like there are too many to choose from this year but too little in the piggy bank to shell out.. Cheers,
PAM 375!
Firstly, thank you much for the giveaway! 112, 336, and 162 owner here, in love with the PAM 375 so I have one on order. Best, Chuck
382 for me
It caught my eye the second i saw it. Different, intriguing, rugged, vintage . . . all at once.
2011 SIHH Panerai releases... best in show
359 as I love the little second hand....... but the 372 is also only slightly less desirable. Loving the choice of OEM straps these days........ Really a vintage year for the Panerai afficienado
373 Vintage Prototype dial
373 will definitely be my top choice if I can afford it and only 199 units available! Platinum, P3000, and clean dial, what more can you expect? Hope Panerai can come out with SS material at an affordable price range. Cheers! Alan
At the risk of following the crowd, 372 hands down . . .
While I applaud some of the others in their own right, the 372 ticks all the right buttons for me. Overall I think this year's show was a great comfort that the brand can move forward while respecting and building from it's past . . .. standing on the sho...
I'm thinking the 373
I could not agree more with Alan!!!! Eric J 373 will definitely be my top choice if I can afford it and only 199 units available! Platinum, P3000, and clean dial, what more can you expect? Hope Panerai can come out with SS material at an affordable price ...
368 for me
An 8 Days Destro is just what I've been waiting for. A fantastic PAM that would complement my present collection very nicely.
My choice would have to be the 375...
The combination of the "Fiddy" looks, "1950", composite material, and in-house movement is absolutely irresistible for my tastes! It would be the perfect accompaniment for my 292, 317, and 249 C
372 hands down
followed by the 382 which has been growing on me ever since your reports! Thank you for the live reports guys!
The 373 it is for me....
the retro design and simplicity in execution is what really captures my affection. The only downside for me is that the platinum case raises the price substantially (stainless-steel would be perfectly adequate) and the case size is too large at 47mm....
