I would go with 448 or 449 for sure if you can score one. The 372 is a great watch but regular production. The O series came out already according to another forum. If you have a chance to buy, snatch it up...if you don't like it, I am sure you won't have a problem finding a buyer at premium. As with the 372, you probably will take a small hit.

I have a 372 and have tried on the 449 and 448. IMHO I'd go 372 > 449 > 448.

Would have been closer if they chose to put the gold hands on the 449 and removed the engraving between the lugs...

Guys lets put limited nature aside, 372 takes the cake for me, it's really all about preference in the end why buy something just because it's limited? People do but it doesn't make sense to me

I'll never sell mine, and I have a 448 incoming for me, but I much prefer the 1950 luminor hybrid case!!!

HI Bogdan, Can you explain why you pick 449 since you have a huge watches collection?

Thanh,
I picked 449 for simple reason, I love 47 mm Radiomirs and I don't have S.L.C dial in my collection.
I have 376 with Cali dial. If I didn't have 376 of course 448 would be my pick.

For someone who don't have Cali dial Rad in his collection I would recommend 448 over 449.

Personally I like Cali dial over S.L.C

oh i see! but if you didn't have 372, would you like to pick 372 first of those three??? i tried it at my AD today, it's so beautiful and thinner than my 233 and didn't look much bigger at all when you wear it tight.

let me go back and explain my pick.
for my collection I picked 449 (since I already have 372 and Cali)

but overall I would put them in this order 372-448-449

it seems like Pam's fans have to have a pam 372 in their collection. i don't know how come i've seen a couples pam 372 in person lately?! My asian friend (i meant his wrist is not big at all, just about 6.5 inches) also just bought one as well. He wears it very nice and tight. he said he can get me one when he goes to Singapore next week. that's a reason i wanted to bring this thread back and hear some more opinions from you guys. Thanks!

I own the 372, and the 448 is on my top wanted on my list. Hence 448 gets my vote if u can find one, since only 750 will be made

That really depends on which PAMs, if any, you already have... . But assuming you're looking for a "historical" then I would say the 372 is you first best bet (you can get the other two later on... )

Actually, I can see that for the 425 it's a question of taste, although I believe the 449's hands are more authentic. In the 3646 days there were no brass hands, only steel (iirc). As for the 424... that thing's got a date complication... sorry, but considering it's supposed to be one of the neo-retro-line models, the date is a definite show-stopper. Here the 448 is the only way to go, imo...

I'll go for either 448 or 449.

372 is regular piece with huge production numbers (N was 3500pcs & O is 2500pcs).

448 and 449 > 372... if you can get one.

Youll be able to trade a 448 or a 449 for 372 + cash your way. All while paying less for a 449 and 448 over a 372. The wonderful world of Panerai.

If you look to the Value of the Watches in the Future for sure the 448 or 449,
because there are SE`s. My Flavour is the 372. Pure Panerai DNS.
