Just curious

As a 662 owner, where do you stand about the 663?

I never chased the 663. I put it on once and found it not too bad.

As an owner of the 662 I can say: the dial is awesome with its white text. That’s gonna be the same on the 663. It has as well a vintage origin and is for sure an underrated Panerai 👍🏼. It’s an option u should consider.

Thanks!

Once you get used to the white text on the dial it's really difficult to do something like a 372!
