Thoughts on next purchase....

Hi All,


Looking for some thoughts, feedback, and criticism on my potential next purchase. I have yet to own a Panerai, although looked at many over the years without pulling the trigger. Generally I like larger watches, 44-48mm. My last piece was a Hublot King Power. I really do like the sub's casual look and size, although I did try on a 514 last week and really liked this new one as well. If I were able to find a Bronzo, I would prefer new without Patina which may be a tough request. A 507 would be ok but I do prefer the clean dial of the 382. As you can see I have put a few different brands on my list, and I know this particular crowd may be biased towards one of them, just looking forward to peoples thought's and feedback. Max budget is 35k. Of course I would like a piece that will hold it's value relatively well (I know a wish but always a nice bonus).

You definitely should get a Panerai since you don't have one yet

If you can find a PAM382 Bronzo new, that would be my 1st choice for you since you seem to really enjoy this model. Many others feel the same way as you do too If you can't find a new PAM382, I'd put the PAM507 Bronzo w/ off-centered Power Reserve lower o...  

Thoughts on the 422 as well?

I do like the looks of the 422, and the known heft with the sapphire crystal as opposed to the 372.

The PAM422 is a great piece too

Classic Panerai if you're looking for a 47mm with seconds hand IMO. You can't go wrong with this model too. Cheers, Anthony
