What next?
Good evening everyone,
I am building a small collection of watches and currently within this have a PAM562 which I absolutely love. I now want to add a further Panerai, but would like it be a radiomir this time.
My attraction to Panerai is around the original DNA of the brand and usually attracted to simple dials…….. any thoughts on what would be a good addition?
Regards, to all, Patrick

For a good collection, IMHO, best to collect iconic or reference watches

If you love simple dial I would recommend the PAM514, a very nice everyday piece with a mesmerising sandwich dial. It is 47 mm so it is definitely big but I have to admit that it fits pretty well in everyday life also under the shirt.
Whereas of you want something very historical I would suggest a true classic: the California, also 47 mm. Best
I would recommend
The 449. The wire lugs and the minimalist dial take the cake, in my opinion. It's very elegant and restrained too, for a Panerai. I think this is because of the blues hands. The wire lug Radiomir wears beautifully for me too. ...
Apart from the usual suspects:......
232, 249, 448, 449 all of which are 47mm Radiomirs, my choice would lean towards the PAM210. It has few advantages over the bigger models. It's a 45mm (no monster to be strapped to the wrist unless YOU choose it). It has a quintessential 3-6-9-12 Panerai ...
When I bought my 232, I didn't even know the 210..existed.
But then, I've never had an issue with the dimentions of Panerai watches. For those who have though (and there are a fair few out there) the 210 offers an acceptable alternative.
