Officine Panerai

I'm in a bit of dilemma and would love your thoughts on my next panerai..

I'm torn between the 190 vs 372 vs a submersible 389...

372 - i really love this classic clean and heritage look...its really that macho panerai heritage to me
389 - i dont own a submersible yet and this one to me is a looker amongst the many different submersibles..
190 - i already have a radiomir but ive read a lot about how a classic this is...and that JLC movement is really nice...

I've been told that maybe i should prioritise the 190 as its not that easy to obtain, even on the secondary market...the 389 is also uncommon at least in south east asia...

Help!!

Appreciate your thoughts!! ☺️

190.

I have the 323 now...

The 190 is is a little dressier and the 372 is a little more sporty.

The main reason to go for the the 372 is that you already have experience with the Radiomir.

Great pics...

Thanks all for sharing your thoughts...looks like the 372 is currently ahead now... ☺️

And replace with the 190.  It is a real beauty.  When you wind it and put your ear to the case you can barely hear it tick.

With both you will have a perfect set.

And then the bug will bite you and you will never stop collecting Panerai.

The JLC is amazing though... It does not take too many turns to get to 8 days and buttery smooth and ultra quiet

My fist pam was the 352...

I dont think i'll let go of my current rad...i really love it from whence i saw my buddy first purchased his..

Just wanting to add to my panerai collection ☺️

If your leaning towards 372; maybe look at 587 for 1940 47mm... You alread have a luminor and radiomir... So I can see sub or 1940 radiomir as next choice

You have a nice round-up there Sir - a good dilemma to find yourself in...
Being pretty new to this much talked about brand, I didn't let too much noise cloud my judgement when picking my entry to its intriguing world.

As for opinions, I stick to Dirty Harry's view on them ;o)

While there are "historic" models, original vintage pieces and "limited editions" aplenty, I figure all of that doesn't matter half as much as opposed to the feel the wearer gets when arming up - that inner smile is priceless and often manifests itself through a big grin over one's face every time...

Your 323 is very nice - looking for more of the same or something very different? Practicality an issue or simply another desk-diving watch? Playing w straps important to you? Pure DNA or (more) complications?

The 389 is actually a true and good diver too, been there done that myself. The Radiomirs are the most elegant and vintage looking of the bunch in my opinion - and you have a very nice one already...
So practicality would often suggest something different than your heart. But that's the beauty of our hobby after all!
Happy hunting -

Ça me ferait un grand plaisir - ou bien à SIN ou bien HKG!

Singapore or HK, it doesn't matter. Next time, I will page you. But if you have the good idea to come by Paris, let me know! 

Thank you all for your thoughts..

However, i walked into Panerai and walked out with this!!! Something that wasn't on my radar but it created an immediate impression and voila!!

587...better pics to follow

that more often than not, the "perceived" limited choice, is only a consequence of a limited knowledge of all the models...available. Congratulations for the 587

I suggested the 587. Though you may have not read it before purchase...

Great choice by btw... Just teasing
