I'm not much of a Panerai fan, but there's just something about the 389. I think it's the combination of the brushed titanium finish and the matte black ceramic insert that does it for me. If this one turns out to be really good, I'm pretty sure I'll be adding it to my collection.

Z maker or ZF is the name for the new maker who is working with Angus making PAM 389 and now has released a PAM 351

by looking at 351 from "ZF", how would you rate this new comer comparing to existing noob & h-maker?

I have not info yet enough to get a definitive conclusion
Since it is a new maker we cannot get historical conclusions either.
We need waiting for more inputs before decide about comparisons.
Obviously the decorated movement is an improvement and overall construction and quality seem good
Some flaws in CG (higer hollow) and in L SWISS MADE position (it is higher)
Date fonts thinner and a bit smaller
Hands have variations in the pics on Puretime catalogue and samples showed in Reep Geek by Angus

We will see
