Officine Panerai

Hi All, In early June I bought my first Panerai, the PAM 233. I love the watch, its my favorite in my collection by far. Now when I bought it I thought to myself... "this will probably be my last PAM for a while". Not because of financial constraints (oka... 

I would like to welcome you to this forum. And congratulation on the purchase of the 233. It is one of my favorite modern Panerai. And as for the 2 watch, the "Fiddy" and the "California", they both are amazing watches. Each has very unique characteristic...  

Hi Sam, Thanks for the warm welcome Wow that is an absolutely stunning watch. Yes I agree, both have a high price point, and the 249 is lower. I love the dial. I never thought I would ever go for a radiomir but here I am in love with one of the most uniqu... 

the 249 and 127 are so different. i personally prefer the 127. the 249 has too many "homages" IMHO, but it is a really beautiful watch. may also consider the 217 destro?

The 217 destro is interesting, however it just feels awkward to me. I dont know how to describe it, it doesnt feel right. I think I may go with the 249 for now. Although I prefer the traditional luminor body myself, theres something about the 249 (other t... 

The 127 as I love the Fiddy and its dial with the seconds hand. I like a watch with a moving seconds hand to know its moving and alive!

every day of the week and twice on Sunday, for me. I have, use and love..both...but the Fiddy is something else. The idea of one first and then the other, though, it's a very argute one... Ciao - Sergio

The PAM127 is a true classic for me. - AT...  

Wow, I am really struggling to make a decision! Both are beautiful, but i think 249 is in my price range for now, perhaps mid next year I will go for the 127 (god willing i can find someone that is selling). I also already have a 233 which is "SIMILAR" to... 

233 so on that respect you're right that the 249 would fit your current state better. You can then decide whether the technical aspect of the 233 or the historical homage aspect of the 249 sings to you more?

Welcome! Rahul to this place of watch lovers and enablers! Anyhow, if finances were not of concern, I would certainly go for the 127. Its a big part of modern Panerai history and a great link to the past. The Cali is a beauty mind you and I am contemplati...  

GO FOR IT !!!

So much peer pressure! Jk jk, I think i may wait for the 127 till march / april next year. Its quite a bit more expensive than the 249, and I already have a luminor case in the 233. They are such beautiful watches though eh? By the way, Sam posted a pictu...
