Very different in character between the three
Without knowing what you have in your current collection, the occasion that you intend to wear the watch for, whether your'e the blessed w/ huge wrists to carry off T3 and lastly ignoring completely the cost associated w/ the watches as well as future value, I would probably agree w/ Anthony although I think it would be a very close call between the PP 5960 vs. 306.
Annual calendar + chrono is just so much more useful than the tourbillon. But then again, how often do you see a 3D rotating tourbillon cage? These two are very different watches so perhaps you should think about when/where you intend to wear the watch?
T3 is cool but way too big for wrist challenged guy like myself...
If you were given a choice...
Hi guys, please help me on my next purchase... If you were given a choice among the three-- Panerai tourb Pam 306, AP T3 & PP 5960 in Platinum or RG which one would be first and last choice (please note value are not being considered here). Many thanks!
Here are my choices
Of those watches, my 1st choice would be the Patek PP5960 in platinum. Then followed by the PAM306 and lastly the AP T3. The T3, it's HUGE. I used to own one and wore it all the time but eventually sold it because its huge size didn't suit my 6.75" wrist....

Will you wear what I wear, because I would not
How can I give my opinion when I do not know what you look like or what you generally do. You ask the question as if I was buying a watch for me. If it is for you, you need to tell me more about you, including how you look like, then I will give you my op...
Easy for me
I go along with Anthony, first the 5960PP - 306 Pam - T3 also a bit for the same reason. I'm not a classic watch guy, but this summer i had the occasion to try on a 5960PP with the blue dial and i was sold in second .... only my bankmanager prohibeted me ...
not a annual calendar fan
as a result I would select the 306, then the T3 and last the 5960. The decision could be different depending on the actual purchase price of each in relation to likely resale value of each, so it would also depend to the extent you felt the economics were...
Kinda arbitrary excercise
Don't know your existing collection, nor what your preferences are. And the 3 watches are not commonly referenced and compared against, I assume 1) u r inclined to the 306, since you r posting this question on Pam thread. 2) Price range they are not too s...
If it were me...
...I would get 1) PP 5960 2) PP 5960 3) PP 5960! and I am a HUGE Panerai fan, I just this the PP is subliminal. I had a ROO and sold it within 3 weeks - only buy if you wear casual cloths/denims A LOT! for a perfect all-rounder you cant beat the PP. Thank...
