The children are all lovely. As for the choice between the 339 and the 317 that is very difficult to answer, it really comes down to personnal tast. I have the 317 and I just love it and I also ordered the 339, I do not think that I would be able to choos... 

317 without a doubt.

If I didn't already own the 277 version I'd get the 317. The domed crystal is a huge draw for me and amongst many of it's attractions, including the wonderfully stealthy hue of the ceramic. The 339 unfortunately doesn't really do it for me I'm afraid. I'm... 

Get the PAM317 instead of the PAM339

Why? Because you already have 2 Radiomirs - PAM246 & PAM249 - and only 1 Luminor. So mix your collection up more and get a Luminor 1950 case which is different than the standard Luminor case that the PAM0 uses. - AT

317 if its the K

 
 By: Oscillator : October 2nd, 2011-14:34
I have both, I would go for the 317 if its a K, purely because its so special. Only 500 made, PVD movement, a really classy complicated movement, GTM, 8 day Power reserve with indication and single button chrono. Even though the 339 is a LE there are 1500... 

tough choice

Honestly, I'd be thrilled to have either one. If the 317, as others have said, I'd go for the K. the PVD movement is just so nice...and rare. The black ceramic Luminors do wear slightly smaller than their polished and brushed counterparts though. May or m... 

Follows your heart...

317K for me without doubt, but please don't pay way overprice for it!...  

339 for me

Panerai should imo be clean and simple. I love chronographs but not from Panerai.

Depends...

If you want to balance your collection, go for 317... But of the2 I'd go for 339, for me... Best, Sam

317 all the way ....

Try to find the "K" series with the awesome PVD movement.

Interesting dilemma you got there...

 
 By: Jester : October 4th, 2011-11:11
How do you find the size of 249? Would you prefer yet another time-only watch or you a bit of interaction w/ a chronograph watch? What draws you to your next Panerai, the simplicity of the dial or the unique in-house monopusher chronograph that powers the...  

Between the two? 339 for me- 8 Giorni and MM are special... BUT...

Unless you really love the 246, is there any way you'd part with it? That way, you could pony up a teeny bit more cash and get BOTH the 317 and 339. The Cali would still give you your polished Rad fix... The 317 gives you the chrono action you will miss w...

Awesome strap Phil!

 
 By: Darron : October 9th, 2011-08:16
Phil- Who is the maker of that jv like strap, but much darker? In this shot it looks like a much better pair with your 339 than the assolumente. Darron
