Officine Panerai

Its either one or the other (can't afford all of them for now). #1. PAM 249, 190, and 112 #2. PAM 232, 190, 219, and 000 Thanks for the advice and opinions.

If you can mix up #1 and #2 to 3 watches, I'd keep the PAM249, PAM232, and PAM0. Cheers, Anthony

Mix those selection with 249+232+000 and you'll get the nice collection. Cheers

Hi. I am new to Panerai, so excuse my question to Anthony and Krieng, but why would you leave out of the equation 190? I am interested that two experienced people have left it out and chosen other Unitas-based watches over the JLC-based, gold-handed, sand... 

The 190 is not a watch to switch in a nice collection... Why? Because this is the only one in 45mm with : A very nice Movement ( not an ETA like the 183, Black Seal ). A nice and historical complication ( 8 Days, like the Angelus )... So, I would keep the... 

I am still trying to locate a 190. I love this piece. Meanwhile, as I was writing the post above I received my first Panerai. It is not as "hot" and collectable, but I am quite in love with this simple beauty....  

But it seems that the bird is quite difficult to find... Very nice pic of this 210! Best, my friend! Nicolas

and also potential collectibility which is a second factor. I like how the 232 looks over the 190 even though the 190 has a much better movement, but for me, aesthetics always takes preference over what's inside making the watch tick. For many other peopl... 

Actually I find the 232 and 249 to wear quite similar but neither are great daily beaters for various reasons. I had the 232 but sold it shortly after I acquired the 249. The 190 has a great movement even though Panerai has never been about the movement. ... 

above 6 o'clock. A lot of PAM's have sandwich dials, but only a couple have the PreV logo Cheers, Anthony
