Middle East Boutique SE 383 -DLC

 
 By: John HS : May 7th, 2011-06:23

It was released last month , only 70 pcs.  Would you buy it.  Just curious, I love the design but i am sure many of us would said its a  "Modern Panerai and no DNA."  Kindly give me your views.

Thanks and Regards

John

 

It's a good looking watch John but...

Mainly due to the pushers been round when they should have put the squarer type on the watch

+1 [nt]

History + aesthetics?

IMO a more balanced dial.

I understand, but prefer the functionality of a 12 hour register..esp in a proper sports:) [nt]

or black, but 335 comes with the date.

plenty of DNA IMHO and I think its a great looking watch.

I'm also a sucker for a 2 subdial chrono.

Cheers,

Asi

Serious as a mortician.....and I wouldn't buy a 317 either.

 
 By: sirjo : May 8th, 2011-11:49

I've never been one for "busy" dials and if I wanted busy, I'd buy a Breitling.... smile Personal taste. Nothing to do with Panerai DNA...modern...vintage etc.

Killer looking PAM.

I think this is just the natural evolution of the brand. i'd consider it..

only after purchasing a base or some other historic model first.  i think in 10 years time we will see  that these models (luminor chronos with power reserve) will earn their place in Panerai history......

Thanks Mate, yes a matter of time, [nt]

But not one for the consideration.

Auto. Period.

Of course Panerai DNA!

 
 By: Subco : May 9th, 2011-12:16
Hi.
For me, looks like if it have the same genetics as others black beauty (PAM 317, PAM 335 or even PAM 332).
I think it is even the Panerai DNA.
In one way historic timepieces, and i another way, modern watches intended to make the watch-making progress (movement, materials...).

Thanks and well said, mate. [nt]

it wasn't newly release, is it?

 
 By: swjoseph : May 9th, 2011-23:45
I'd go for 317 for better scratch resistance and in-house movement.
Or 332 if I've a budget concern.
But 70pcs limited edition makes it for someone who value rarity.
