Tough once Panos - 2 for 1? Only you can make the call. Make sure you don't regret & miss them later.

Good luck!

I do not know anything about Pam watches but one of the ones you are trading look like the one you are getting.. I don't know they all seem to look the same to me and the ones with less always seem to cost more..

Have you tried on the 372 for size (47 vs 44)? If you are good with the 47mm I think I would make the trade as well. 372 is a great looking watch!

That's a tough one, Panos. To me, the 372 is a beautiful piece, no doubt, but, at its size, it would strictly be a casual watch for me. I would probably want to find a way to hang onto the 000 to have more PAM flexibility. Also, just a thought, but your great strap collection would be for not, unless you held on to them for a future 24 lug piece.

Good luck with the choice!

As for the straps, you are right, Cru. But the good and expensive straps maintain most of their value (depending on the condition) in the used market . So I'm gonna sell them and shall begin from the scratch a new strap collection for the 47mm case

Someone else like me, but it appears he has already made his decision, which is still pretty good.

The most chances are that both watches will have to go to make place for the 372. If I could keep one that would be the 312. In my eyes 312 is one of the most beautiful Panerais and a best seller also. I know the feelings of the hardcore fans of the brand for the 000 but I think that the same DNA and the base love represents the 372. So the best combination for me would be a contemporary model with all the goods (312) and a Modern vintage (372)
