That would be a keeper, Nicolas
Platinum for special/rare occassions, but I was also thinking the 190 as a daily wearer. stainless steel fits the bill for me as an everyday 'work watch'. Best to you, mon ami
What in your opinion is the dressiest Panerai?
While I'd love to dress up a Fiddy, I think the word 'dressy' has its correlation with 'size'. Furthermore, in my opinion, precious metals come to mind when defining a dress watch. I'd think a dressy watch should be inconspicious in terms of size. 45mm an...
To me, without a doubt, the 198
The perfect companion for a Fiddy... A reliable movement, an Heavy platinum case, and a gorgeous clean, sober brown dial. I would keep it, if I weren't re orientating my collection... Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2009-05-24 01:...

Agree, Mr Gastby, the 190 is to consider, too.
Not expensive, and with a very ince movement inside. Yes, a winner in my book. Best, nicolas
Both good options, the 198 would get my vote or even better, the 208
but it also goes down to the size. Sometimes the smaller one can pass as more dressy. Cheers, Asi
You taught me 'dressy' with a 42mm JLC :-)
I am assuming you like the 208 (Sincere LE 5 pieces for 2004) because of its rarity and hobnial dial?
Is the 208 a LE?
I think we are 3 here to have seen the same Pam 208: Its owner, Asi, and me. I'd rather say a " Piece unique "... Best, Nicolas
My mistake Nicolas
It should be a Special Edition, not a Limited Edition, to be specific. It was produced in 2004 to commemorate the anniversary for Sincere Boutique and is limited to 5 pieces -- according to the millesimation database.
Correct, Mr Gatsby
But although it is engraved X / 5, I am aware of only one piece. Maybe Asi will tell us more about this piece, or our lucky Purist Fellow, who owned it? Best, Nicolas
If that is truly so
Then it'll certainly be a 'piece unique'. Like a wiseman once told me, millesimation numbers are planned production numbers -- and what is planned doesn't happen all the time Gotta be loving those JLC rads more and more.
Hearing... Only hearing, that I know of, Sincere did not get them.
And if you look at No. 1 all it says is No: 1, who knows may be one day we will see a OOR No: 1
There were 5 pieces engraved 2/5 etc., only
the first one did not say 1/5 but said No. 1. I am sure one member here can contribute some nice pics of this rare beast Cheers, Asi
I agree PAM 208 takes my vote over PAM 198

Mine would be either the PAM163 or PAM274
Panerai's are sporty watches, so my opinion of the dressiest PAM would be one that is elegant, yet sporty at the same. And definitely would have to be in the Radiomir case. And so, my choice would be the only 44mm Radiomir which is the PAM163 (limited edi...
Quite true, although I would rather have a non chrono
complication for a dress watch... Asi...
I would vote...
for the 198 Despite its size it is simple and elegant cheers This message has been edited by PinkPanther on 2009-05-24 16:50:49
Count me as a PAM 198 vote
I find the 198 to be my choice of a dressy watch. I enjoy the limited edition (50 units), size of the case (45mm), weight of the platinum watch, the simplicity of the dial (with the power reserve on the back), and the radiomir case. Of course the PAM 21 o...
