Lovely pics....

But I've never been drawn to the subs enough...

I love the 183 (biased)..but if another PAM I'd go for the 233 or 312 :)

So many great models. I think the 233 is a bit underrated, and a relative bargain on the used market these days. I love my 312. If you don't mind a little extra thickness over the 24/25, get a 243. Or just save your money for a few months, and get a 372 when it comes out--possibly the best watch Panerai has ever made IMO.

If you want a sub now get the 24 or 305 The 243J is a nice proposition as well I'm looking to add a submersible to my collection and I think the 382 will do it for me

That would be the 371. I've already spoken to my AD.

Love my 25. Very distinctive look and the color tone and patina of the Titanium case can't be beat!

Don't get one that is rated at 1,000 m or above - they cannot be properly serviced in the US and have to go back to Switzerland. Think 4+ months for a pressure test...

Not a fan of the cyclops either.

I love subs with patina. I heard they're making a bronze sub, but it's going to be huge.
