Keep PAM 557 or swap it for PAM 346



Thinking that all I have is an itch ; and all I need to do is to let it take its course and do nothing. Or maybe I am up to something. Doesn't matter , is fun to hear out opinions and things that never crossed my mind. It matters to me things like resale , coolness , scarcity , etc

Also I also had the idea that Luminor with the crown guard is the staple of Panerai ; but it also true that the original Panerai is the Radiomir
This Radiomir brings a power reserve in the back, date and seconds that my 557 doesn't . But the 47 case and the Vintage allure of the 557 has its magic as well. Kind of a catch 22

Shot !

Tough choice. I've always liked the 346, but I think, ultimately, I'd rather have Ti for a Luminor, so, 557 for me.

If you want an 8-day and a classic Radiomir, I'd flip the 557 towards a 233 and 232.

I really like the Titanio look (got one myself), but not that particular Radiomir, plus the lefties are cool in general, I'd go for keeping yours.

I prefer the Radiomir line from Panerai. Classic watches with a lot of original DNA from the early watches. I also prefer to have a second hand. It is a watch that can be dressed up or down. I own the 287 and it is a fun watch.

Yeah that's a nice watch , keeps the DNA of Panerai and its Vailjoux movement makes it a very reliable option. I think a Radiomir will be a second choice for me , even though Radiomir is the original Panerai, when I think of Panerai I think "crown-guard" . But when ready for my 2nd Pam , I will consider yours , very nice watch !
Thanks bro !
