The p5000 in a 562 and the unitas in my old 005 logo, although I have tried many. One thing which is very important to me is the amount of mechanical feel coming through the crown. The unitas feels a bit too agricultural, the 5000 feels lifeless, the 3000

I suspect the high polish, fairly large bezel is a scratch magnet especially in precious metal, this is where hobnail would work well but it would probably clash with the modern design of the watch. I can't comment for the PP but 8 days with two barrels r

My first pam was a 1st gen 562 with the sandwich dial but I think I actually prefer the 2nd gen dial version. My biggest gripe with the p5000 is that unlike the p2002 it only has 2 barrels instead of 3 to achieve 8 days of PR and it takes quite a few turn

I replaced the 372 with a 44mm 590 and still love it. But I missed the 372s uncluttered look which landed me on the 562. Similar in a number of ways to the 372 but is also 44mm. Then at a watch party I saw the 0933. Finally a Radiomir in the collection, 4

It was a Tritium 25 which pushed me to look into this model again (red strap below). My primary intent was to use the watch for scuba diving to replace my pam562 and luminova was a no brainer. Here are the 4 models which I considered at that time before t

even silly with all things considered. I do agree that big is better for a Panerai but I've now shrunk enough for me 933 to look big on my 6.5" wrist. The 372 is gone but I’m still loving my 590, 562 and 933 And must admit that I miss my 176 that I should

This is similar and a very nice watch IMHO. You should try to find one to see what you think. Might be easier to find than a 176 also.

I love white dial pams too but I'm too much of a lume freak! The 176 is one of the few luminor Ti cases with a black dial, most are brown which gives a different vibe, I used to have a 562 and have been considering a 118 or a destro just for fun. Keep us
