No doomed crystal
Thanks Anthony!
Pam312 has no doomed crystal, right?
Besides that, Pam312 looks really beautiful, the dial is very tidy. The question is to take the PAM 320 instead, because the price difference is not so big, you have a GMT-function which you can, if you want, hide behind the hour hand (I think), right? The only difference would then would be the writings on the dial. The other question is, to take the version with steel bracelet (PAM328 or 329), so one would have a steel bracelet (thought real Paneristi wear straps, as I learned) right at the beginning. I suppose you can put normal aftermarket straps on it, is that correct?
Am I Right, that the 233 is not on of your favorites?
Thank you very much for your response and all the other Peneristi out there!
Cheers,
Daniel
First Panerai
Buon giorno Paneristi, this is my first thread ever (im old school), so please excuse some things! Im infected by the italian virus! Looking for my first (no, to be honest my second) Pam and its kind of hard for me. Should have SD, 1950 44mm case, smal...
You're probably better off getting a 1950 Luminor case
so I wouldn't get the PAM510 since you say the PAM111 was just "ok". The PAM510 won't be a piece that will skyrocket up in value, but it should hold its own relatively well IMO. Besides the PAM233, have you considered the PAM312? Panerai PAM312 Or maybe t...

Yes correct, the PAM312 doesn't have the domed crystal like that on the PAM233
If you buy a steel bracelet Panerai, you can always take the bracelet off and put on a leather strap. You can do that with all bracelet Panerai's, so you're not limited only to wearing the metal bracelet. Yes the PAM233 isn't my favorite, but it is a grea...
My cup of tea!
Hi Anthony, tyvm for your opinion to 233, which I share actually. Went today to Panerai Boutique in the Big City and tried some models, 233 too. Very nice watch, fantastic to wear, the perfect "dress watch". But the winner is: PAM422! I think she´s got ev...
So, you don't want a Panerai....
you want a watch that has...everything...you need and that is "branded" Panerai. Why don't you throw in an automatic movement, for good measure, and buy a 320, 321, 351? They are 44mm, 1950 case, and they have..acceptable...Panerai dial. GMT, dates (the 3...
Sorry! SD=sandwich dial ;-)
I thought that this is the used shortcut, sorry sergio ;-) Your suggestions are good, but I don´t want titanium (until yet, never seen or tried before) and PR as it is in these models (I like the linear PR). Tomorrow I´ll will go to the next big city (Mun...
Sorry but, you're not looking for an..orthodox..Panerai..
anyway, so what's the big deal with an automatic movement? If you want to buy a P A N E R A I, you buy a 232, 249, 372, 000 etc not a 'watch' with a date (anatema) and a GMT. I had a 233 and after a couple of weeks, I couldn't wait to give it away. When I...
An the winner is...
Mille grazie! I think I got it! Went today to Panerai Boutique in the Big City and tried some models: It´s the 422! I Think she´s got everything a Panerai needs. After the choice of 47 mm (which looks really fantastic on my 7,5`` wrist) Fiddy would be my ...
I think you made a terrific choice....
not my first choice, maybe, but definetly a handsome watch and a through and through Panerai :-) Can I live with the small seconds? They say a picture is better than a thousand words :-) BTW Welcome to the Panerai's world... Ciao ...
Grazie,
grazie, grazie, mio "fratello in spirito" ;-) Your 127 an 217 are amazing, my final stages! Not by now, but I need goals! Could be kind of boaring, to start with the PAM203 as the first one ;-) Why the 422 not for the first one? After trying the 1950 case...
the 422 is nice congrats! I have the 233 dot, though I know its not panerai DNA
Enjoy your 422. I like the 422 over the 372. if I were to a get a second panerai, the 422 or 190. I really like the 449 but felt it was a little too big on the wrist. here is a picture with my 5001.
????
the 422 is a 47mm - 1950cased..chunky...luminor and you would buy that..over..the 449, which is a 47mm "slim" Radiomir (which you find..big)? You've really got me puzzled there, where's the logic? Cheers
Yeah l agree my logic may not be so sound...
I guess when I tried on the 422, perhaps with the proportions, the lugs, etc... It didn't seem "too" big on the wrist. When i tried on the 449 for what ever reason it seemed bigger on the wrist. Size is often a relative impression and or mindset and since...
