I've been attracted to Panerai for some time now. Something about them that I can't explain. I keep looking at them. I've been doing some window shopping and the 233,321, and 499 sing to me. Any suggestions for my first Panerai piece?

Frendrick · 4 June 2016, 06:32 PM

Out of those three

Cru Jones · 4 June 2016, 07:49 PM

3 very different choices.... First step is trying them on. 321 and 499 should wear the same.

masyv6 · 5 June 2016, 01:07 AM

233 in my opinion.

denmanproject · 5 June 2016, 01:11 AM

233

fai9al · 5 June 2016, 06:02 AM

233 is amazing piece!

Ian Macdermott · 5 June 2016, 07:23 AM

233 would be my choice

Panerai Freak · 5 June 2016, 07:26 AM

233 - I love mine as much as I did when I bought it, and it is still on of my favorite watches period!

Watcheroo · 5 June 2016, 07:40 AM

Have to agree with the rest here. 233 👍

Maltie · 5 June 2016, 08:03 AM

233 no doubt. A stunning PAM

DOUBLE 0 SE7EN · 5 June 2016, 08:41 AM

Two double three..

alexlt730512 · 5 June 2016, 12:24 PM

between these three choices, i'll go for 233

nick c · 5 June 2016, 12:25 PM

Another 233

Snbr2011 · 5 June 2016, 11:17 PM

233 all day every day! just got mine this week and I am in love with it

Al1969 · 6 June 2016, 04:33 AM

I vote this one.

Time Collector · 6 June 2016, 10:04 AM

233 all day!

Ruud Van Driver · 6 June 2016, 10:32 AM

I'm on the hunt for my first Pam. The 233 is a fantastic choice but be sure NOT to check out the 533.

Good luck

mickyd329 · 6 June 2016, 11:06 AM

Thanks guys. Will be in Vegas and I'll have to stop by the Panerai boutique to check it out.

s14roller · 6 June 2016, 11:59 AM

I don't know what the 499 is, but I've owned the 233 before. No doubt one of my favorite PAMs.

Actually just looked up the 499...233 100%.

233!!

Halothane · 8 June 2016, 02:39 PM

233 Dot Dial with domed crystal!! My fav PAM

avilhena · 9 June 2016, 12:39 AM

233 all the way!!

mickyd329 · 9 June 2016, 05:17 PM

Tried on the 233 at the Boutique in Vegas. It's a little too tall for my taste. The regular Luminor line had better dimensions for me. Really liked the 090, but I guess it's an ETA movement and solid case back.. Need to do some more reading up on this.

Must be the dome then because the P.2002 is not really thicker than the 6497...

Well, all the best with your hunt for the ultimate Luminor

Frendrick · 12 June 2016, 03:03 PM

233 too between this three

brandon13 · 20 June 2016, 11:02 AM

I was in a similar situation as yours recently...go for the 233. Hands down the best looking PAM in my opinion

gummy · 24 June 2016, 12:24 AM

Exactly in the order you listed...

233 (dot indicator if possible), 321, and last 499
