Officine Panerai

My dear Paneristi's,
If given a choice to acquire between the two which one of the two would you opt for :PAM447 or PAM448..
My intention is collectible aspect, appreciation in value and rarity..though from the look of it i like the PAM448 but somehow back of the mind the California Dial looks attractive then iam confused again...any expert input?

Well in that case .... if you can get a 447 I would buy it. I have no idea how it looks like, it must be a one of a kind piece

I guess you mean 448 or 449 ... and in that case I can't help you. Wy should it appreciate in value ? You own so many wonderfull watches , I can't imagine another few K is that important for you. Just buy the one you like the most. And to be honest, I like the standard 424 and 425 more than the 448 & 449 , these watches just look better with gold hands. But if you're only looking for value :-( ... than go for the 448 or 449

The Cali dial of the PAM448 isn't my cup of tea and I feel I would get bored of the dial real quickly after the novelty wears off.  On the other hand, the PAM449 dial is a looker IMO. 

Also, I feel the Cali dials have been overused by Panerai, especially with the new Cali dial w/ OP logo.  Cali dials don't seem "special" to me anymore. 

Now with the PAM449 SLC dial, we won't know if Panerai will do the same thing with this dial, but I think they probably will over time.

Below are videos of the PAM448 and PAM449 to help you make your decision easier

Cheers,
Anthony
