Pam 297???

Hi guys thinking about getting my 1st Panerai what do you guys think about the Pam 297? The reason I like the 297 is I prefer a steel Braclet but steel debating that if I get a 44mm then a 40mm watch would look small need advice thank u

not an expert on pams but i think if you prefer a steel bracelet ..you should get a rolex sub..nothing againts the pam but 1 of panerai's 'playful' feature is they are fun to change them straps...just my 2cent..:)

Try the 329 if you want gm and on bracelet. I just got the 328 I was going to get the 297 Or 329 and both look amazing. Was a hard decision but I love the 1950s case and sandwich dial and the in house movement stellar! But the 297 is nice too used to have it but the 328 just looks amazing in person :)

I would personally go for a Panerai on a strap, I think the bracelets don't look great on them.

To each their own... I personally like the bracelet. Everyone wears a strap but the straps are amazingly cool :D

I'm telling you! You have to see the 329 in person to appreciate it!! At least to me it looks nicer then the 297. But the 297 is dope
