I have tried both a number of times
While originally attracted to the 687 dial, over time I have drifted more towards the 685. The 687 can look stunning in some lighting conditions such as a bright sunny day and while more subdued otherwise I always felt that I may get tired of it over the long run. Of all the 47 pams what I like most about this model is the contained thickness, even if it comes at the expense of 30m WR. It doesn't hurt that the 685 appears to come at a discount in general.
Panerai Radiomir PAM 685/687. Which one do you prefer?
Same watch, different dials=Totally different characters. While I find the black super appealing, the " coffee " is more my taste. A spectacular dial! Credit: Watchinsanity. Best, Nicolas ...
Do you mind the wording on the bezel?
Overall, I like the stronger character of the black version.
yes... yes, I do
that wording in such a prominent location really diminishes the confidence of the design, reduces the appearance to just a styling exercise

Although a great watch...
I am not a fan of the text on the bezel on this one. However, the black dial pops a bit more to me
687 for me!
Out of the several Panerai’s I have, it’s far and away my favorite. Love the shape of the bezel, the wording on the bezel and most of all the gorgeous gradient dial. For sure a keeper. ...
Agree with your comments on these two interesting Panerai models dear Nicolas!
I went for the gradient brown model Pam 687 when it was launched some years ago. An spectacular dial indeed! Cheers! Abel ...
Then I’ll have to include what is perhaps Nico’s favorite … the 662
Coffee and cream without the bezel with the writing on it to which some of you are opposed. ...
The 687 dial for sure but not a fan of the screw in bezel and writings
Still prefer the simpler classic Radiomir bezel

Are you going to acquire one?
From your photo it looks like you own one of each kind?
Aaah.... very nice choice
Made 10 years ago? I don't know Panerai so had to google the information
