At the same price I would choose the 372, being cheaper...

Agree pam are meant to be worn & not as showpieces...they are just giant pieces of steel with robust movements. Im sure they are up for the abuse.

I wear my 127 in rotation without regard for the activity. Occasional home construction projects excluded

I guess its all perspective, as a 372 cost considerably more than my first rolex, and i never took the rolex off.

If things were relative, the Pams really should be in the 3-4K range... But nobody is listening to me

127 for me, I can't stand having a watch which doesn't have the second hand, having no date is not a problem, but no seconds hand no way... Even if the 372 is nice, but not for me, of course the price of the 127 is too much in my opinion, I got the 217 which is basically the same price, but the Marina Militare makes the whole difference in my opinion. For the price of the 127 there are many other models that I would prefer to buy...

I like the 127 over the 372 [/422] (I like my Lume green, writing white and 3-6-9-12 served with small-secs )

But... I will take the 372 [/422] because the 127 is too expensive... and the 372 [/422] is one damn fine PAM

I see that you have a 217 obsession I understand 100%, until 2 days ago, when I finally went for it, I had the same obsession, so if you can find a decent priced one go for it, just be careful there are many very good fakes out there, I got mine from a very reputable watch company, but still did a face to face deal, especially that there were 2 as you know, but would never have bought from a private seller without going to a Pam AD for authentication first, I can imagine buying a very good fake

The 127 with domed sapphire still rocks. Nothing like it!

Thanh Do, maybe, if you put into comparison a 36 with any other, It will be always the 36, even if the price is so high that I will probably never get one, of course in the question il there was added "and if you have the cash to buy any of the 2", the answers might be different…
