Thoughts on the Pam 190??

I am on getting close to trading in my 112 on a 190 (plus cash). I am some what new to Panerai and have always owned Rolex watches. When I saw the 190 it really stood out to me and struck a cord that Rolex just has not done for me lately. Wanted to know what you guys thought about the 190. The deal would be my 112 plus about $4k cash.

I have the 190 and love it. JLC movement and gold hands. Perfect size too at 45mm. I get a lot of compliments on it, while most people don't seem to notice my other watches nearly as much. Simple, but bold, if that makes sense. If you have an opportunity to get one, do it.

Modern day classic for Paneristi. You have to decide if the premium is worth it to you.

The 190 is a great watch. If you can work a deal I would go for it.

If you can pull it off, do it. I personally like the 112 over the 190, but the gold hands are something special. If the 390 was offered with a sapphire back, that might be the perfect PAM.

one of the top modern PANERAI Rads...
JLC movement that will probably never be released in a PANERAI case
Gold hands and a nice wearable 45mm
It's the only one I kept over the years..love it
Good luck

Do you feel the extra $4000 is worth it for a JLC movement>

Maybe look at the 183. Same size, but a choice between Black Seal on the dial vs. 8 days movement

Both from around the same time period.

You don't mention the year of your watch, but based on some pricing. Prices are close to each other.

Brilliant watch the 190, one I would not hesitate to add to my collection. JLC movement, 8 days, gold hands, what more could you ask for.
