Hi. I've been really liking the 88 GMT lately, to the point where I am considering trading my 16570.

Any owners out there? Would really love to see some pics and hear some thoughts about it.

Thanks!

I don't have any pics, however I can tell you it's a great watch.

MortgageGuy · 3 December 2011, 01:34 PM

Just picked one up again about 2 weeks ago and loving it. Funny I also picked up a 233 around the same time and ever since then I have not worn a Rolex (poor Rolex's just sitting in the winder)

Here is a pic for you

On OEM croc

Another on croc

And my favorite on the OEM rubber

Pam 88 is beautiful, as I like bracelets better I like the 297 even more.

You know I had the 297 but for me it just wasn't a Pam without the strap... to each their own but it was a beautiful watch but quite heavy too

masterserg · 3 December 2011, 11:23 PM

Thanks Evan for the excellent pics. I am with Adam re. the 297 .... It is great but I gotta have a strap :)

How's the movement wobble? I hear it is pretty strong

When I first got the watch I noticed it. Once it's on our wrist for a while, you'll tend not to notice.

Mate Pam 88 is beautiful, congrats and enjoy mate !!

I cant seem to wanna pull the trigger yet, Dalip has tried multiple times to make me join the Dark Side!

Wheres the pics on the 233???

Cru Jones · 4 December 2011, 05:16 AM

Adam, those are great pix! The 88 was one of the first PAMs to truly suck me into the brand. Great watch.

masterserg · 4 December 2011, 05:24 AM

I am loving it. Must stop by an AD to try it on though not the best timing for me.

Incidentally, there is a new Panerai shop close to my house at the Bal Harbour Mall (Miami). Good excuse to check it out.

masterserg · 4 December 2011, 12:54 PM

That 233 looks sweet!

Rollie2011 · 4 December 2011, 01:57 PM

I'm not a huge PAM guy...

But if i had to choose, that 233 looks sweet!

Prefer the 104 myself

rennisk · 7 December 2011, 07:10 AM

I am so smitten with the PAM 88 and plan on buying one once I sell the Rolex I bought on a whim last summer. The watch has real presence and is timeless in its style. Plus the way they did the GMT markings gives it an interesting look without being too busy.

I love my Historic Black Seal (sandwich dial is killer) and would probably keep it even if I get the 88.

mikelprz · 8 December 2011, 03:49 AM

dman · 10 December 2011, 01:56 AM

wrxsti · 13 December 2011, 08:17 AM
