Panerai Pam 796 vs Tudor Pelagos LHD

Hello,

I’m looking for a more special dive watch.
My collection is very fluctuating (now I have a Breitling Navitimer B01 43mm, Zenith Defy El Primero 21, Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 43,5 master chrono and a Tag Heuer Link Chronometer).

I had two pelagoses before (eta and the blue one) sold them to buy another watch... I had these watches for around two years, quite long for me :).

So after looking into other brands I came to two watches.
Panerai Luminor Pam 796 (left handed)
Tudor Pelagos LHD

The Tudor I know but I have never had a Panerai. What are your opinions?

Many thanks.

I’ll take the 796 , not a Tudor fan. Plus you have nothing like a Panerai in your collection , easy decision for me.
Also love destros and PR complication ,
Good luck

Give the Panerai a try. The Pelagos is cool, but to some degree it's just another diver's watch. The Panerai is different and special, and I think you'll enjoy it a lot.

Since you've had pelagoses, time to try Panerai.

Do you wear it on your left wrist or left?

I’m not left handed, so I wear my watches on my left wrist almost all of the time.

Sometimes I like to use them on my right wrist, feels and looks different, that’s one of the reasons I got the 796.....


Here some more pics....

If you had 2 Pelagos in the past I would give the PAM a shot. That’s my vote

796 in this case, and I am not even a fan of Destro PAM. Some how they just don't look right when I wear them on my left wrist. :)

I like that Tudor Pelagos, but I failed to understand the Tudor Pelagos LHD.
