249 is my ultimate choice..
Not because the 232 is not a good watch, but I'd rather see it with the clear caseback. For the 249, I think Nicolas cover every single point why most of Panerai lovers prefer to own one out of 1936 pieces.
I haven't take a photo of my 249, but believe me...with my poor photo skills, the pics will still come out just fine....

Simple question...which would u rather have a PAM232 or PAM249?
If you had to choose between the 232 or the 249, which one would you choose? And why? (picture by Asi - PAM249 on the left & PAM232 on the right) Cheers, Anthony...
I wish
the 249 had a solid caseback and I wish the 232 had Plexiglas..... In any case, each one is very strong on it's own merits. If I had to choose on aesthetics alone - my choice would be the 232. If the choice is down to uniqueness, the 249 is the winner. It...
I would love to own 232 if...
it comes with rolex movement as its ancestor.......just my 2 cents. Cheers

PAM 232 for 2 reasons.
First reason, I really love the Cali BUT, I can't accept such a watch being only water resistant to 30 meters, even if I don't dive with it. It is a non sense for me. Second reason : I already own the 232....
232, no contest
Why you might ask. I had the chance to get one a while ago from an AD. the one reason I didn't go for it was that it has such a poor depth rating, this from a company that prides itself on its ancestry. It just felt to me that there was too much of a cash...
Like asking to choose One child or another
Its a tough call, but I know which kid I'd pick... also about the watch, I lean towards the 232 !
249!
Sexy plexy! Absolutely fantastic, less is more dial. I guess it would partner my incoming baby Rad338 perfectly. Depth rating? I stay at home watching movies when it rains... Best Rob. This message has been edited by peregrino on 2010-05-09 22:27:56
fit and finish of the 249
I had not had a chance to really wear the 249. It certainly looks historic and gorgeous in pictures but a plexi glass? To those who own it, how does it feel on the wrist and when you touch it... does it feel like a 12K USD worth of watch? I certainly hope...
232
249 is great, but too many "hommages" etc. also IHMO, lacks the PAM DNA, thus the 232
