After seeing both versions (bracelet and strap) and gathering a variety of well-considered opinions tonight at the terrific NY Boutique event, I think the Tuttonero works best with a brown strap for the contrast. The,(rather thin), bracelet is version is surely nice looking new, but might scuff to a more polished hue with normal wear, which would detract from the muted, matte look. Also, the bracelet version could be easily mistaken for a run of the mill, trendy, all-black watch. It is almost too stealth and understated - both qualities I like BTW.
ISo I love the piece and plan to get it on bracelet for the gorgeous anodized black movement, but wear it mostly on straps.

It looks great, I'm not a huge fan of DLC/ceramic but it is great to see the options being produced. As for desk diving, it will excel!!! Just ask any 292 owner!! Actual diving with being knocked on coral/rocks,etc will be interesting to see? Then again, ...
I like the leather strap version

I think ceramic is great and essentially has put pvd/dlc in it's grave. Not too sure about the ceramic bracelet myself but I'm generally not a fan of bracelets on PAMs. I had the 279 titanium and loved it for a while but sold it. Cheers. Lou in SoCal
Like the matte black, dislike the dial

Somehow, the big-small numerals just don't agree with my eyes. The 'ceramica' imprint also doesn't sit well with me. Heard all kinds of horror stories about how brittle ceramic is; have not had any issues personally but if there is any truth to that at al...
Ceramic

Ceramic is a great, hard wearing compound. It is, however and as we know, brittle. So if you don't drop it (or really whack it) onto a hard surface, you'll be fine. That being said, the same knock or drop required to break a ceramic case, will, on a norma...
I think it's a gorgeous model....

one of those Panerai must continue producing to climb the horological ladder (like the 382) I'm not a ceramic expert but if the 317 feed back applies, the future owners are in for a..bumpy ride. I know ceramic it's tough as nail, but I also know that when...
Not sure

if the finish on the bracelet will last long as the sample that we witness was already showing signs of finishing rubbing off at high contact area on the bracelet.
Nice!

I actually believe that....

without the black bracelet that keeps it...tutto nero...it just wouldn't make sense. As for what it may look like, I guess I don't much care.. :-) Ciao - Sergio
