A comparison between the new ceramic 335 and the 317

 
 By: Martin Wilmsen : January 27th, 2010-04:02
Here are some more photos that I took at the SIHH in Geneva. The ceramic 335 is a new ceramic watch that was introduced this year. The watch is basically a PAM270 in a ceramic case. Because Panerai had many problems with the PVD coated case back of the 31...  

Outstanding Martin

Martin was referring to the movement w/ special coating didn't make the QC test. I'm sure the standard movement from 311 WITHOUT any coating is perfectly fine. I would imagine it's the minute 'thickness' of those extra layer that's creating the quality pr...

The comment its ONLY related with 317

The movement has to be coated for that special piece, and that has created a lot of problems. I know people that is still waiting the 317 for almost 2years now. Its nothing related with the 275 or 311.

Exactly, this has to with the coating of the movement - not the movement itself...
