meh... amagnetic, ceramic bezel, exact same case no update, same old bezel cosntruction... nothing new..

i don't like it. this is just like panerai's saying they're joining other brands bandwagon into the ceramic bezel trend.. without much effort of redesign or any technical breakthrough.. simply lazy to me.

This is something I could get behind actually. I wish they made it 44-45mm instead but it looks really sharp IMO.

I actually like it...but not a fan of faux Patina :-(

I would prefer the non ceramic...there is a similar model at 44mm right?

I like it as a 44mm. Otherwise, it's just too huge chunk of a metal presence for me!

At first I thought it was not for me too, but then I came back to it, and it is pretty cool looking. If I did not have a Sub, I would consider this model.

yeah, i'm not convinced by the mix of green lume and ecru writing. maybe it's not so dramatic in real life? we'll see.

i quite like the bezel and am happy to see something new that's in the contemporary range after all the recent historic launches, even if, at 47mm, it's not for me.

Fifty Fathoms x Sub C x PAM 305

I would need to see it for real (or at least some live shots) to get a better idea of the look & finish

Even with a price tag of €9K... ? That's €2K over the 305, €3K over the 025...

I like it a lot but since I went with a 371 I can't justify spending the money on this one.

I have been bowled over by the REAL-WORLD Pictures of PAM 389 .. may well be worth calling it MY NEXT GRAIL.

I like it! At first, I wasn't a fan of the submersibles, but it started growing on me...I wonder how that 47mm would look on puny wrists? :P

It looks in proportion, though at 47mm and I'm guessing 16mm or so thick it's way too big for me. Not to mention a dent magnet in my day to day life.

Almost like a Sub. interesting.

Any side on shots?

Cheers
