Look at that dial.

Do you really want two men dressed in rubber, one grabbing the other from behind on your watch dial?

I'd say get it as you've asked the question...not getting it will leave you wanting..and there is nothing worse after an expensive purchase.

I've got a 292 M and love it. All things equally i'd prefer the Pig, but for an extra 3-4K, I'll pass.

I like the NON pig dial- cleaner, and more true to Panerai DNA. The image of a couple of dudes riding a Weener isn't something I would want on my watch.

I agree. Non pig cleaner & not pandering to any marketing jibba jabba!


Just stay away from the 360. It's already being labelled "The Fiddler" which isn't a very nice label at all (don't want to elaborate).

I agree as this makes sense unless that extra cash is seriously burning a hole in your pocket and if that's the case as has already been said you could easily get another watch that you'd like in that range

As an investment there is only one option,

Right now the 292's are going for around 8k right? There is a 292 PIG that has been on Ebay since November for 11,380 you could probably pick up a PIG for 10,500? So if you plan on keeping the watch for a length of time the PIG (only 100 made I believe) will become more valuable and hold its price.

My humble opinion.

Only 100 made...? I'm sorry I gave mine back now...............

Mind you, I still didn't like the two little guys enjoying their rubber fetish on the dial. Looks cheap & tacky. .
