217 vs 127...advice needed!
Hi Panerai lover, I come across 2 offers a 127 and 217, similar condition with a 2.5k difference in price. I am not particular married to 127 or 217 but their 47mm 1950 cases and gold hands are calling me everyday, that's why i am now selling my 233 for o...
Don't think Collectible, think Pleasure.
And then you'll have the answer. Go on what you like, not on what others pretend to say it is collectibe, or not. Both are nice, both are great, and you can't go wrong with any of them. Best, Nicolas
Totally agree with amanico
Both are great watch, but choose the one that suited you best. cheers,
Patience is a vertue
PAM 127 was… the first 47mm and had tremendous success amongst Panerai collector, it was a bit like owning something Vintage. PAM 217 came later, you are right lefty usually are more sought after, but I believe that despite the Marina Militare Dial, it is...

I have 233 and lots ot time thought of pulling a trigger for 127 but just can't justify that price.For that money will rather go for some T-dial.pre A or 36 or 40. Also was hoping that this year was the year for 47 luminor because 150 birtday of Panerai b...
Both are really great pieces ..
You should try on both if you are only getting one as you have been wearing your 233 which has the crown guard on the right, you may take a while to warm up with the crown guard on the left. Don't be swayed by comments, buy what you really like and you wi...
Remember that just because a model is produced in less quantity
doesn't make the model more "collectible" or "desirable". You also need to figure in demand for that specific model. There are many who don't like Destro's. Futhermore, I find the PAM217 dial to less attractive than the PAM127. It's just a minor differenc...
Indeed both are nice, for me the 127.....
spends more wrist time, there is something else about the 127 that sings to me. alepos
I understand why you can't take them out of your mind
Both are great replicas that have come onto their own. The almost imperceptible details on the 217 make it not nearly as good as the 127. The font on the Marina Militare is a bit thicker, creamier and off from the vintage idea it emulates. Not by much, bu...
thanks for all the comment...I followed my heart with 217
thanks again for bearing with this repeatedly discussed topic...i've followed my heart and here is my grail......
Al;ways the best route to follw. Congrats on the PAM 217
You will without a doubt be a very happy person. The Fiddy is Diddy but the Lefty is Nifty. Wear it in good health. Bill
Congrats, Joseph
This Fiddy Destro is a super catch, indeed. You will have a lot of pleasure wearing and admiring it. Huge congrats. Best, Nicolas
You can never go wrong
when you listen to your heart beats. Congratulations, and whishing you plenty happy wrist time.
your choice, good choice......
the left handed appeal is unquestionable. If I ever had a choice to make, I wish it were like this one....127 vs 217...can't miss.. Cheers - Sirjo
127....for ever
Hi, I own both and at gunpoint, I would gladly give up the 217. The "fiddy" they would have to pry from my hand...after having shot me. Yes both watches look the same (in a mirror) but there's something about the 127 that puts it head and shoulders above ...
