you're in an enviable positon. Your 309 is, infact, a 322 (one of my favourite PAMs). The 309, in my opinion never quite made it there. Yes, it has a superb Minerva vintage caliber, but the Titanium takes a bit of PAM DNA off, IMHO... Cheers - Sergio

I was merely comparing 309 vs. 217... Where does 203 come from??? However, you did raise a good point: The weight of the watch would certainly affect my fondness and personally I think it's very important to have the right heft for the right watch. That b...

I'm not really into Panerai and pink gold or 42mm chronos (other than the MN). I am always weary of the way I answer. Still, it's a very handome piece, but not my kettle of fish, as they say. The fact that it's limited to Asia, is a dead give away about t...
