Now this is HOT...
I think this is one of the combos I wished for last year and the year before :-P
This is one heck of a watch - now if only they could combine this with the 8 day movement with the PR indicator on the back like on the PAM368 
I know - I'm demanding

SIHH 2011: Panerai PAM00372 LUMINOR 1950 3 DAYS - 47 MM
In the 1930s and 1940s the names Radiomir and Luminor identified the luminous materials used by Officine Panerai to increase the night-time and underwater visibility of the dials of the watches designed for the commandos of the Italian Navy. Over the year...
now it's for Real.!!
THIS Model has been a Dream for many Panerai Lovers.!! GLAD it's a Regular Production , so everyone will have a Chance to Own it. Kong. thanks for the Infos..Cheers. Tony
Finally i can obtain my very 1ST Luminor!
Everything about this particular model is perfect, the size, the material, the colour of the dial ( always preferred my Pams to be black dialed over brown), Plexiglass and yet have a water resistance of 100 metres, and of course, NO SECONDS HANDS! ( Which...
A beautiful piece to start off with by Panerai....
I saw this picture yesterday and I couldn't stop thinking about it. The other picture that I saw looked odd... But on this one here, it shows the beauty of this watch, well, to be fair, I need to see it in metal... I really think that this is close enough...
SIHH 2011: Panerai PAM PAM00373 Radiomir 3 Days Platino - 47 mm
In Officine Panerai’s earlier days there was a rare, mysterious version of the Radiomir of which only two examples are known. This appeared at the end of the 1930s and was unusual for its unique and original dial design. The new Radiomir 3 Days Platino - ...
Gorgeous.!!
but a Shame cause it ONLY comes in Precious Metal. just like the Two Models: 376 & 379. how about a Steel Version for a Poor Sould like me.??! Cheers Tony
A very promising piece!
And i finally get my wish that OP decides to re-homage the fantastic and mysterious Ref. 2533! Although i am a Platinum lover, no doubt about this, BUT not for a Pam. And to make matters worst, a BROWN dial?! I think i just might give this a pass just yet...
oh. !?
you surprised me Stephen.!! i thought of you when i 1st saw it..and i figured you'd jump on it.. but then again, you have your Good Reasons not to. and i can understand why you'd pass up on this Piece. IMO, this thing Cost some serious Dough.!! so you got...
That's right Tony!
Be 1000%, or move on! This is the same case as back in 2006 when OP played the same game with the 249/262 duo. Years later i could still find the 262 BNIB at AD's all over! No one wanted them. Which is sad and i figured OP should have learnt their lesson ...
will i be getting the 373 ??!
no. it's beyond my Means. but as for the 372 ?. yes. i'd get one in a Heart Beat. Salute
That's the one everyone will be getting!
Finally OP makes all a one big happy family! Ciao Stephen
I realise this will be the hottest piece,,,and its a fantastic piece
but with just 199? pcs...and platinum..the movement needed to be more special.................
Beautiful....
My next favorite after the 372... I really like the unique dial and the large font "RADIOMIR PANERAI", it looked similar to the one in PAM21.. Now I just wished if this one comes in steel... Maybe with blue hands?? I'm really hoping that Panerai will come...
SIHH 2011: Panerai PAM00375 Luminor Composite 1950 3 Days - 47mm
Officine Panerai presents a new Special Edition in Panerai Composite, the synthetic composite used in haute horlogerie for the first time by Officine Panerai and produced by an electro-chemical process of transforming aluminium. The new Luminor Composite ...
my wish turned SO TRUE , Finally
lets hope they just solved the alcohol issue . Faisal
Alchol can wipe out the surface of ceramic?how if I spilled some beer or wine on the piece
? would it change the color a little?
The panerai composite is NOT a ceramic
Apparently it will change colours indeed. It will turn whitish. Ciao Stephen
Stephen...
...this alcohol issue was discussed in another thread. So far, I've been unable to find a source for the claim aside from a comment from an AD. Can you shed any more light on it?
Yes i know about that thread Ben
As for me, i actually checked through with the boutique, who checked it through with Richemont Japan, and that is the caution being given from within Panerai. Apparently they got some alcohol spilled internally at one of their workshops, therefore it's co...
Thanks lot for your information Stephen
It was really kind of you to provide such info. on the composite!!!!!!! I did see you once at the Tokyo Ginaza bouqtiue last summer. You really "live" there eh? Best Regards, ??? FAi
My pleasure!
Oh ! Why did you not give me a yoller?! I would be more than happy to talk to another Panerai enthusiasts! Hoho, yes , i do LIVE in the boutique! In fact, i just returned from there just then! Ciao Stephen
Cheers, BluNotte
Thanks for the extra-background information. I completely understand your aversion to the beer thing...not for the watch, but because the beer would taste baaaad afterwards. As for the alcohol vulnerability...again, I understand your protectiveness, but I...
Nothing could be worst than a bad beer!
Especially in Asia where it's already hot and all i want is an icy cold beer! You're welcome Ben! This message has been edited by BluNotte on 2011-01-18 23:58:35
Beautiful
A very exciting release I must say! Hard to decide b/n the 339 and the 375 Thanks for sharing! J
Now this is HOT...
I think this is one of the combos I wished for last year and the year before :-P This is one heck of a watch - now if only they could combine this with the 8 day movement with the PR indicator on the back like on the PAM368 I know - I'm demanding -Sam
Really like this watch, BUT...
...are the days of the domed crystal over, at least at a "reasonable" price? I prefer this font to that of the 372, but a true dome a la the 127 or 233 would make it over-the-top for me. I hope to get to see one.
I knew it was only about time when Panerai gonna make this one...
I think combination of new composite material and classic 127's design makes it very unique... Do I want one? Not so sure about it.... Best, Sam
SIHH 2011: Panerai PAM00386 Luminor Composite Marina 1950 3 Days Automatic - 44mm
With its automatic Panerai P.9000 movement, its Luminor 1950 case in Panerai Composite and its strict adherence to the functional and aesthetic codes which make every Panerai watch unique, the Luminor Composite Marina 1950 3 Days Automatic - 44mm is a cla...
considering the 47mm wonders.. I still love this
and so happy its regular production, which gives time to get one later..
Have to agree with you
This is also a very nice pieces and would be one of the 44mms that will be talked about if the pics weren't released to early by Panerai.
SIHH 2011: Panerai PAM00384 Radiomir 8 Days Ceramica – 45 mm
With the new Radiomir 8 Days Ceramica – 45 mm, Officine Panerai presents the combination of a high-tech material, ceramic, and a Panerai movement entirely developed and produced in the manufacture in Neuchâtel: the hand-wound P.2002/3 calibre. Ceramic has...
Will the display back be available for the 292..?
as it's also 45mm is the back the same size..? Some great pieces coming out today..!! Yours, Andy.
I was wondering the same thing
I still think the 292 looks a little cleaner on the dial. Maybe these will drop a little on the grey market. I was hoping for a 47mm 292, with p3000, display back with 9 instead of sub sec. They did it in gold though which is also very handsome.
I doubt a display back will be available on the PAM292
Ceramic models seem to only have display back when the movement inside is one of the in-house movements, so I don't think a PAM292 w/ display back will ever happen. But then you never know - Panerai may surprise us one day. Cheers, Anthony
That makes sense...
I wonder if it is the same size thoughand therefore could be purchased seperately...probably expensive even if it was available..!! Great report Anthony, Yours, Andy.
SIHH 2011: Panerai PAM00382 Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Automatic Bronzo – 47 mm
A powerful, fascinating reminder of the sea makes the new Special Edition Luminor Submersible unique. This professional underwater watch is the development of the model made by Officine Panerai more than half a century ago for the commandos of the Egyptia...
hugh ?? No replies on this one
I think I love that one the most of all The non limited 1950 base is nice, so is the 1950 composite but this green dial with bronze case ..... what a stunning combination !
Great watch
I like the fact that they are not recycling the same idea over and over with this watch. It's pretty unique in the world of Panerai.
But I wish it had a solid bronze back
The stainless and saphire back kind of ruin the look of the watch.
I agree
it looks wrong, the back should have been the same color as the case But since this part of the watch is on your wrist you won't see it I could live with it
risk of skin allergies
while I agree about the solid case back, it would still need to be SS or Ti. Bronze alloys carry an increased risk for skin allergies
I will beg, borrow and steal for this one...
Still having trouble catching my breath.....
Just when you think that they wouldn't do it....
I never thought that Panerai would do a Bronze case after the SLOB... But they did it... It's interesting to see Panerai comes out with new kind of metal... I've seen a bronze watch, the GEFICA by gerald genta, I like the way the case can produce patina t...
Definitely......
interesting but I wonder how it would look after a couple of years of wear.... I would have preferred it to have a bronze back but I assume that there isn't one for allergies.... Thanks for posting... Cheers
There's also the new Regatta which uses the same PAM305 dial
but looks like it's blue colored instead of black. Cheers, Anthony
Want one!
I have requested my AD in UAE to allocate one piece to me. I find it just the right size, hue and the case color. Since i dont wear gold watches this would be a perfect suppliment to that and off course one need not to mention the uniqueness of this time ...

This is a beautiful watch...
...well balanced dial with an incredibly well-displayed movement. Lefty or not, this thing is impressive.

The second view revealed flaws :-((
May be I am too purist but ... Look at the movement size compared to case size - they are not matched that ruins watch's historical proportions: 1. second circle on the dial stands overly far from number "3"; 2. metal back case is overly wide to hide idle...
Great work Kong..
nice reporting and I love the discussions guys! I am on the fence about PAM this year... I love the 372 but at a regular edition I can wait... Love the Composite Fiddy..but I am still battling with the brown tones like the 339 Love the WG Cali and the Pla...
This would have been the one I go for....
If I didn't pull the trigger on my 217 last year... A titanium case and brownish dial would've been great for a change + the 8 days movement would be a very practical feature... But then again, 217 has its own charisma, "MARINA MILITARE".... But a fantast...

The year of 47mm
for panerai.. a smaller number of watches is being introduced this year BUT a one with concentrated essence i believ . Thanks again KONG. Faisal
Thanks for the post Kong. Appreciate it!
So far from my initial read from Kong's postings, I guess this year is a year of consolidation and groundwork for new things to happen the following years. Definitely not as impressive as last year's offerings but the release of the 47mm Luminor Base will...
The 372 is going to make me a VERY happy man when i do get it Anths!
At long last i can own a Luminor, especially one that meets ALL my criteria for a Pam, this is just God given! Ciao Stephen
Thanks for the wonderful post Kong!
Very excited with all the new releases this year and agree with Anthony that there is plenty of models to go around.
Thanks Kong!
Thank you Kong for the post! Assuming OP will have all the 2010 and 2011 models release in 2011 (highly unlikely), looks like this year will be a money saving year for me. While I am still waiting for my name to be called up for a 339, this year's 376 and...
Thank you for the fantastic report Kong...
I'm looking forward to see the live reports at the SIHH.... I see a great year for Panerai ahead... Thanks again Best, Sam
Tks KONG for report, they have saved a 339 lookalike in 45 mm to 2012
they are churning out 375 386 luminor composite but 2012 we will see another rehash on 45mm composite 3 days on the 339 similar case. Good news is 339 stays as the first and only 8 day MM rad composite. I still have no idea why it had been delisted from t...
Yeah right! and after that
the 26 came..................the 28 came.....(not counting the 360 as that was just an extra SE).................Therefore what is said doesn't always mean it won't happen again........Guillermo
As Minerva....
was bought by Montblanc, and they can only manufacture a limited amount of movements, it is only logical to assume that those movements will be reserved for Montblanc... Cheers
Thanks for the report!
Highly appreciated, My favorites are the 372, 375, and 382. 373 and 376 are amazing but out of my league price wise! ill wait for the steel of 373 and buy the 349, haha.
