Panerai 328 / Bracelet

[Sandik]

Hi, I´m quite new and fell in love with the 328! Especially due to the beautiful bracelet.

Are there any experiences and inputs what to expect from the Bracelet? How is it compared to the gen? I tried one at the boutique and it felt incredible! Will I notice a diffrence?

If anybody could share his thoughts, experiances, knowledge, that would be great and much appreciated.

Best regards, Klaus

I am wearing my 297 ss bracelet. Compared to my other bracelets (gen Tags) this feels great and comparable in quality.

I assume you are talking about the ZF 328?

The bracelet is ok on the new generation ones (it was better on the old ones).

Compared to the gens (i have two gens):

1) the bracelet pins zf uses on the new ones are thinner than the gen - dont ask me why :/. This means it doesnt move as smoothly as the gen. Still feels quite nice on but not quite the same and sometimes the links get stuck at weird angles. Or, they freeze together over time.
2) they do see to scuff easier than gens. I cant give you a good reason why.
3) no maker has still been able to do the chunky end links like the gen uses. It makes the bracelet look a lot nicer. Small difference you will only notice side by side though.
