Thinking about picking up a 359...
what do you guys think? How is the P.9000 movement?

Shade · 5 March 2012, 12:15 AM

I love the strap, but thats about it sorry..

gianton · 5 March 2012, 03:06 AM

I like it 1950 case and patina lume looks great!

GFEAR · 5 March 2012, 04:12 AM

I love it, if it were 47mm, I'd own it. But the 44mm case is too small for me, but it's one of my favorite 44luminors for sure

Watchdog · 5 March 2012, 04:49 AM

It's a wonderful looking watch. Quite different than a lot of other PAMs. It has a real presence and striking appearance. Thumbs up from me!

Cru Jones · 5 March 2012, 06:32 AM

what's not to like?? you like it, go for it! a great PAM.

nick c · 6 March 2012, 10:55 AM

A beauty.

The P.9000 on my 312 is very accurate.

p_mcgee · 6 March 2012, 12:51 PM

like it

Milgauss J · 6 March 2012, 04:48 PM

I love mine and it gets most of my wrist time!

Psmith · 6 March 2012, 07:09 PM

Lovely watch. The only thing I don't like is that the dial is a little 'dark' - would prefer more contrast between the actual dial and the hour markers and hands.

I really, really considered this one along with the 312. It was a tough choice for me since I liked both about equal. The P.9000 movement works excellent on mine. It's a matter of choice - if you like the 'dirty' dial and all the numerals. I happen to like the numerals. It really is hard to go wrong with Panerai. The only thing I don't like about Panerai are the use of cyclops dates on some of their models. Other than that, I wouldn't kick any of them out of bed.

watchdaddy1 · 7 March 2012, 07:17 PM

I love Panerai, but this 1 doesnt swing w/ me the dial looks uneven w/ big & small #'s...Look @ the 312

Elementa · 7 March 2012, 09:55 PM

I've had one for a few months and I love it. It's comfortable to wear and it looks great with a suit or with a tee shirt. Go for it and don't look back.

PM me and I can put you in touch with the trusted seller I used.

Also, I've been happy with the accuracy of the movement.

nishant · 8 March 2012, 04:21 PM

Looks great but I would pick a 312 over a 359.

luni · 8 March 2012, 05:38 PM

Go for it.

359 is a really nice piece of steel.

elisiX · 9 March 2012, 06:04 PM

Absolute killer value for money IMO.

Here's mine which was recently sold.

bleuachdu · 14 March 2012, 07:15 AM

I had one and loved it... want to buy one again sometime soon. One of the pieces I regret selling:

One thing that was a bit off-putting was that the rotor on the P.9000 was LOUD. I get that Panerai is new to in-house movements, but when paying a premium for a watch, I'd expect them to pay attention to little details like that.

toulouse · 14 March 2012, 07:36 AM

Nice pictures in this thread.

GeoffIsringhausenJr. · 19 March 2012, 05:43 AM

Gorgeous watch!!

Bebot · 20 March 2012, 08:59 AM

What is the difference between 312 and 359?

dysondiver · 20 March 2012, 09:08 AM

looks smart to me.

Pretty much just the numbers on the dial and the color of the lume. Both have the same case and movement. I'm not sure about the hand color although I'm pretty sure the OEM straps have different colored thread.

MrJ320 · 20 March 2012, 12:48 PM

I like the dirty dial but personally I prefer the brushed 1950s case over the fully polished one on the 359. What about the 351? Love the gold hands and tobacco dial.

Bebot · 21 March 2012, 04:05 AM

Any difference in price?

haw1144 · 10 April 2012, 10:41 AM

I'd kill for a P9000 movement sandwich dial... :)

jfestrelabr · 11 April 2012, 03:09 AM

I Love mine 359 it's my second PAM, i like sandwich dial with this patina.

Thanks for Kain Heritage beautiful strap.

exchange83 · 11 April 2012, 10:01 AM

Love the 1950's case and the second hand with the '9'. So classic.
