Curious what Paneristi think
I'm curious to hear what you Paneristi think about the PAM624 or 625. I must admit that the 10 days movement is just lovely but at the same time I have some second thoughts about it being an automatic movement with power reserve indicator on the dial. Both the sunburst dials are in my opinion fantastic and work great with the oro rosso case.
Which one do you prefer ? The 624 or 625 ? Thank you for your comments.

Well...
I think I wouldn't have any problem with it being automatic.
The problem I do have with so many Panerais is the unnecessary dial text. In this case, 'GMT' and '10 days' seem pretty superfluous to me - just a '10' and '0' at either end of the scale would be much more discreet. And I do wish Panerai date apertures looked a little bit more refined than just a square cut out from the dial (though in their defence the date wheel colour matches the dial). Aside from those caveats, I quite like them!

To some extend
I can agree when Paneristi talk about the true Panerai DNA, but Panerai as a brand can't survive on models like the 372, 587 or 605 (to name a few) only. Panerai today is more then only a 2 hands watch compliant to its historical models
They make great in house movements with an awesome 8 or even 10 days power reserve, they present us with lovely dials, special oro rosso gold and stuning new materials like Carbotech and special techniques on cases like the latest PAM578.
In short they are a versatile brand, not afraid of innovation with a unique DNA. Anybody can recognize Panerai from a mile away, something that can't always be said with other brands. And a Panerai is so playfull.
Well, I guess they have me as a fan. A fan to stay, and not a fan or paneristi looking at flipping pieces the moment they gain a bit value.
Just my 2 pence. No offense intended.

My first PAM was from contemporary collection...
and only 10 years later I got the thing of Radiomir and exactly two hand watch spirit. Even though 171 was very precise and never failed. When I bought 425 on a third day I had to ship it back to Richemont because it was 2 minutes fast. I was very disappointed. Now it's okay, but it was unpleasant experience. When I ordered it I was waiting 6 weeks, when I shipped it back for tests I had to wait 8 weeks.
I simply don't like these two (and a whole other bunch of models).
Strapping a..substantial piece of red gold on my writs..it's not my cup of tea 
That being said, Panerai can produce whatever they feel. Since I have 27 of them, the more they produce the more I find something I...might...like

Wow
27 pieces !!!! Wow respect. Now you made me curious off course which ones (not very discrete question I know)
For me these PAM's 624 and 625 are for me really nice and let me share with you my thoughts :
1. The Radiomir 1940 case is a true Panerai case with a 100% signature of Panerai
2. The oro rosso 5Npt is a true Panerai gold alloy
3. The P.2003/10 movement is a technical achievement with a stunning 10 day power reserve, so rarely seen in high-end watch making, and what a lovely indicator
4. The sun brushed dial is special and unique and mesmerizing to look at
5. The sandwich dial, so lovely and so Panerai
6. Ooh and those lovely hands....
So....maybe the strap is not so unique, but for the rest these 2 models are really Panerai, ok, from the modern era, but nevertheless, true and unique.
My AD however told me that these gold Panerai's don't hold value so good.....but do we really have to buy them with an outlook of future valuation. Shouldn't a watch or for that matter a nice suit, a fancy pair of shoes or cufflinks be bought because we love it, because we like to wear it and feel good wearing it.
I know for a fact that the Pam625 is going to make me feel very good......

I won't answer, of course. Let's say some "destros", some Pre-V, some Pre-A, some...others :-) [nt]

I prefer the one with the black dial
it's hard to capture the sunburst dial on a picture, but i can sure tell you it's "stunning" but you knew that allready
the black is more allround IMO than the brown one, I find it easier to put different strap colours to fit it (but that's only if you are interested in doing so)
