Carbotech
Feb 22, 2015,02:30 AM
Carbotech would be my choise but tot be very honnest, neither of them because of the to high price , like said no one needs a flyback in a dive watch for instance and i'm not at all convinced that the carbon keeps up well in everyday use, there's no way to repair or buff out dings and dongs, you can imagine what they'll charge for a new case , remember that for half the price you can buy a 305 (9400$) or 389 (11400$) and probably get a good discount on it.
On a visual matter the carbotech wins, that's for sure, ...
just my 2c€

ill go first and go with the carbotech

firstly because i don't really need a flyback chrono and secondly i really like the carbon aesthetics , i would love to know how durable it would be if used for its intended purpose of underwater activities. regards darma

I'm not a Panerai person and would usually not look at one twice … … however, the Carbotech is the 1st model that has me yearning for more info on it.

I'm going to go against the norm & vote for the PAM615 Ceramic Flyback
By: AnthonyTsai : February 22nd, 2015-10:33
Why? Because I really love the design and aesthetics of the PAM615. I think it's one of Panerai's most sexiest chronographs ever made. I love the Carbotech, but my hopes are for Panerai to make a 44mm version of the Carbotech, whether it's a regular lumin...
both has its merits..

the flyback with the chrono pushers away from the crown guard...and the whole carbotech case... based on novelty...Carbotech for me..but not at that price...
