My NEW PAM 390!!

Finally just arrived!! Another new Panerai in less than a month!! It's the new surprise, the PAM 390 SE. The dial color is really striking as like most have said, it's just like the 232 brown dial color. From pictures I agree that it doesn't look very special but I can assure you, in person this piece is quite amazing and stunning. The dial almost looks faded and patina'ed at certain angles. And the patina markers are definitely stronger, deeper, and thicker than compared to the 417. Along with the gold hands, the PAM 390 simply oozes pure Panerai DNA!! I'm in love with it!!

On a side note, Thank you Tomoko & Sharif for such a quick and easy sell!! Congrats again Sharif on your marriage, I wish you both the best!! And I cannot thank you guys enough for the unbelievable customer service!! I cannot be happier!! Panerai NYC Boutique team definitely knows how to take care of their customers!! Here are some pics:











Here are some comparison shots with the Pam 417:

Is there a suggest retail price on the 390?
And why isn't it on the official website yet?

And congrats it's a great looking watch

I am now between Pam 380 and pam390 will see which looks better on my wrist.....

Good question. The 390 really gives it that vintage look with the thicker markers and deeper patina along with the faded brown dial. Classic looking. Meanwhile, the 417 with the Pig on the dial really makes it special as well. I don't know which to choose.

The 390 is stuck to its roots. It will be a classic.

I agree, that's why I would pick the 390

the boutique luminors with PIG dial are very nice too but the brown dial and gold hands make the 390 a big winner

I hope I can get one too

Thanks Jon! I also emailed my buddy who is Panerai AD- no name or location mentioned. I was hoping he would get me the one I want for great price like he used to on Rolex when he had AD. Let me know though in case he can't.
