Interested in Panerai's new collection at SIHH 2011

[abcd]

Really excited on 386 & 375...simply awesome composite case!!!

[Watcha]

Still like 6497. Beautiful to look at.

372 is very nice. But movement looks uninteresting.

Thanks for your great analysis Bro Fred!

This is what I mean by expert analysis where DNA is concerned and not one merely based on the P 3000 hype!

DNA can be seen from various angles and not just the movement..it can be the dial, case, caseback, straps, buckle, fonts and of course movement...pure DNA movements in the real sense would be like the Angelus in the 203 or the Rolex in the 21. Btw, most are excited with the way the 372 is made to resemble the vintages and not the movement..of coz I'll be crying with joy if the 372 comes with an Angelus 8 days (and a price tag of no less than USD 50k...)

USD50k? You are rich!
I would have got myself a AP ROO EoD with that hazard $, LOL.

If 372 can only find some leftover 6497 use it....it'll be 99% perfect for me, almost like Aurelio 6152 for me liao.
The P3000 a bit bland for me, IMHO.
Like "kena tak cukup" or "tiok bo kau" or "not enough"
of course I am just greedy.
The 372 is very very good oready.
And, I pray it con't to be regular production & in good volume so that all will get one for good low price

Yes 372 on 6497 will be nice. Solid and robust. Nice to look

No Fred, that is not what I meant. I'm saying if We can only talk about DNA if the movement is correct then we need to be prepared to pay that kind of money. The 203 when it came out a few years back was almost 30k USD, then if Panerai decides to equip the 372 with the NOS angelus then it think the price will be very high. DNA can be appreciated from other aspects too even if it's powered by the P3000. Of course personally for me, even 10k USD is not a small sum.
