Totally agree with your analysis, Anthony.
Which is an excellent thing for all the TRUE 339 Lovers who will not be affected by the release of another case using this material.
The 386 is much different from the 339.
A Luminor, Auto, Date.
On the other side, a Radiomir, Manual movement 8 Days Power Reserve, Solid case Back, without date.
If we're tempted to think that the 386 and the 339 are very close, so we can think the same about ALL Panerai watches, in my opinion.
So True Paneristis will not be affected by the release of the 386, while the flippers will.
Excellent news!
Best,

Panerai Pam 386 Luminor Marina Composite
Just saw this and wanted to get your thoughs on this new model. Looks like Panerai is now using the Composite material on the Luminor case. I think Anthony was the first to predict that Panerai would be doing this. Mods, please delete if I'm breaking some...
It does looks good...
This brown colored composite material absolutely fits in Panerai watches perfectly.. If one think I would like to change on this watch is the date... If it doesn't have a date function this could be what I'm looking for next year... Best, Sam
I like the new 386!
Looks great! Hmmm, I am noticing that this watch doesn't have the push button strap bar release as other models do. Instead, it's got screwed spring bars. Interesting detail, I guess the Composite case may not be easy to work with to put the strap bar rel...
Oh we have the same wish!
Minus date, and being a hand-wound of course! Cheers Stephen
Your wish have been granted
PAM 375 www.panerai.com More or less, 386 in 47 mm without date and hand wound. BTW - loove the 386, and as it is reasonably priced, I joined the waiting´list at my AD, long list though ;-(
this composite "thing"....
it's going to go places, the watch is very nice and I'm sure they'll make others with the 'stuff' (or so I hope).... Cheers - Sergio
damn you panerai
this news is making me love and hate the watch at once. I really like the look of this piece and would pick one up on release, but i have been earmarking my savings for a 233. now my plans are muddled as I cannot get both which is making me hate this news...
Exactly
If the PAM339 hasn't come out yet, the PAM386 won't come to the public until 2 more years. Gives you time to save ahead for the PAM386 Cheers, Anthony
OMG...so beautiful!
I wish it is a regular production along side with other cal 9000 models!
Thanks for the info. Guess Panerai leaked out the PAM386
News has already spread prolifically all over the entire web including on Paneristi, so there's no point zapping this thread. I told you guys Panerai will make a Luminor version of the PAM339!!! However I am surprised Panerai is releasing this Luminor com...
I Wish
we will see a BASE LUMINOR with same case and dial colors, what do you think Anthony ?!... see im a simple man . the Pam 386 is another charm . one thing more, i was thinking today that panerai should lift their foot off the paddle a bit ... too many watc...
In due time probably
but I would guess we would see a higher complication model first (or several models first) before we see a Luminor brown composite base. - AT
i wish soon and
hope the case wont come out like the SLOB's case aesthetics wise i mean. Faisal
i second your Second thought Faisal
too many New Models in a short time.. and the Delay to roll them out on the Market Kills the Excitement.! Cheers Tony
Anthony, first let me say that I hope you are right, and...
.... that the 339s all end up with collectors or other Panerai enthousiasts rather than flippers. But something tells me the 339 will still be a hot item and still a watch that flippers would like to make a bet on. Here's why: Firstly because 386s wont hi...
I remember reading
your old post Anthony and you did predict that Panerai will be using the Composite on the Luminor case. I was thinking that it would be the regular Luminor 44mm case and not the 1950s 44m Luminor case. This is a good looking piece and would be a great wat...
Totally agree with your analysis, Anthony.
Which is an excellent thing for all the TRUE 339 Lovers who will not be affected by the release of another case using this material. The 386 is much different from the 339. A Luminor, Auto, Date. On the other side, a Radiomir, Manual movement 8 Days Power...
absolutely amazing
now if its price movement can move in a similar manner as the 292 (non torpedo versions, ie, street price about the same as MSRP) then i think a lot of people are gonna be very happy...
i LOVE IT...
But i have an issue with the date window on any panerai... sad reality but this is me. Thanks for posting . Faisal
A Winner!
This watch is definitely a winner in my book! At least it gives more people a chance to acquire a watch with that material! thanks for sharing buddy!
but no doom sapphire :(
i think that's the fate with all P.9000 movments. Sadly these movments will never see the distorted world as their P.2002-5 siblings who are blessed with the doom sapphire!
no Doubt a Great Looking watch all around
i don't know what to think of it yet ( if i'd buy it or not ).. i have a feeling that PANERAI will come out with some Composite Variants in the near Future. so for some who like the non-Date , the Luminor Case, or a 47mm 1950 Case ? all are Possible. that...
Don't know what to think of this material. I agaree with anthony
that it's strange for poanerai to release a luminor version this fast as it won't help the sale of the 339. Also I am not convinced about the material. It's just too light IMO. I have read risti's comparing witha SWATCH watch..Don't know..I love a hefty w...
very cool
I think the 339 looks great and this Luminor application of the composite material looks great too. I'm in agreement with those that would have preferred a non-date manual wind, but in terms of the "alternate case material" product lineup, this fits in a ...
This will be my next PAM
Well after I get my 292 in about a month, and assuming the 305 bug doens't bite me too hard
P9000
I like the look, I like the movement P9000 is a great one, I have it with my 305 and can't take it off my wrist.... I'm so reserving it from now, called my Panerai retailer already.
wow! this is awesome! doing without the date making it a historic model will even better .
this. not vested in the pam 339 nor in the queue, but i think the pam 339 is a different beast as it is in the historic line. value-wise, that's another topic. btw, any info on the rrp ? thanks for the update.
If the 339 had been the only one to get this composite case ...
It would have been initeresting... now that we see it with the 386, we ca wonder what Pam will receive it, in a not too distant future. It starts to be a bit trendy. I wonder how it would look like without the date, certainly more appealing than with the ...
No date or different material
for the case such as bronze... in fact i was hoping and looking forward for a composite luminor case BUT didnt see it coming with a date window... Best Faisal
I hope Panerai will keep the Bronzo for the Sub, and will not extend it to the Luminor.
I'm not a big fan of the Bronzo, but I find the idea interesting... If not repeated on other watches. An idea may be interesting if unique... If not, it is just easy money. My 2 cents. Best, Nicolas.
a deeper point of view my friend
considering what panerai is and the roots of it.... i find your point of view of a wiser nature than mine... Thanks All the Best . Faisal
