they all use the same movement, so, first you'd need to decide if you want a luminor or radiomir case. but, the 448 & 449 are limited to 750 each, so, good luck securing either of them.

for me, it'd be the 448 for sure.

372

448 or 449 would have been interesting if they didn't make the 424 and 425.
Besides, I prefer the gold hands so a 424/425 even looks better

ans after all it's just ANOTHER radiomir, at least the 372 has a special new case

for me it would be a 449 - however as a special edition , and only avail through the boutiques , it will be very hard to obtain…

449, 448 then 372

but the one I'll likely be able to get is a 372 as the two rads will be sold out quick.

372, 448, then 449. I agree, the case on the 372 is special on an already special watch. But this is how I'd go if all three were priced the same.

I am lucky enough to have a 372 and hopefully will acquire a 449 at some stage!

I like Rad cases but I don't pull them off well on my wrist. 372 for me.

How can you go wrong with any of those? Get the one you can get your hands on first.
Funny how other for brands complications are valued, but for Panerai, the hottest models don't give you a date, not even seconds..

372. 449 is super hot, but the 372 is my perfect PAM.

i'm gunning for all 3 of them.

re SE model PAM 448 & 449, OP have decided to up the production numbers from 500 to 750 pieces each.

The "new" Rads really don't do it for me. The 210 / 183 / 190 are almost perfect. If it fits you, then out of those three I would go for the 372.

Same here, I really want to like them but it's just not me. 372 gets my vote.
