OT - Watchcraze, why don't you use the multiquote feature... your multiple posts per thread is starting to grow old.... quickly

HL65 · 3 September 2012, 08:22 AM

All personal...For me 372 but both are winners in my book!

Watchcraze007 · 3 September 2012, 08:27 AM

Sure; at the bottom right-hand corner of every post you'll find three icons; Quote, Multi-quote (icon with the quote ") and [usually] quick-reply. Now let's say you want to answer three posts; "toggle" the multi-quote button for the first two and press the quote on the third and last post

233 for me. 372 has a great look but 44mm size, GMT, 8 day power reserve & sapphire crystal win in my scoring system.

exchange83 · 3 September 2012, 01:14 PM

233

emagni · 3 September 2012, 02:40 PM

Pam does historic and simplicity so well that 372 is the one watch to I would own if I could only have one Pam under $15k.

Incorrigible · 4 September 2012, 04:12 AM

233 my choice.

GW44 · 4 September 2012, 09:11 AM

After more research I'm clear....when funds allow I want the 372 AND 233

Travelller · 5 September 2012, 07:41 AM

So what's it gonna be, happy James?
Decisions, decisions...

Rex312 · 5 September 2012, 09:39 AM

233 for me. Still love the 372 though. You really can't go wrong either way.

cedric · 5 September 2012, 10:23 AM

First consideration - Can your wrist take a 47mm PAM or rather can your mind accept yourself wearing a 47mm PAM.
(alot of people with larger wrist can't accept a 47mm, but there are some with smallers ones who swear by 47mm)

If no - you got your answer.
If yes, consider if you are looking for the "look" or you want a watch with good functions.

Answer this question your answer.

Hope to see your wrist shots soon.

Funnily enough I am leaning to the 311, though some people think it is a bit busy, I am slowly falling for it.

I gather I can always swap it for either at a later date

DiverAsia · 5 September 2012, 01:53 PM

I love the 311,

311? That makes sense.

233 plus 372 divided by 2 equals 302.5 which is probably closer to 311 than any other Panerai model number.

Congratulations on arriving at such an objectively reasoned conclusion.

Don't forget about the 301 and the 305.

Excellent PAM, the Ti-brother to my on-short-list 275

If you can manage it ($) then I say go for it! Not only do you get all the goodness of the 233's complications (minus date,but we can live with that...), but add to that a chronograph with a classic column-wheel, woohoo

OP was so considerate that they placed an "observation window" in the upper platine so that you can admire the column wheel... how

is that?!?

A true Paneristi will find anything that has more than two hands busy and less than four numbers just-not-right. Don't even start with the topic of plexi...

Oh how much the used strap looks so mush worth it on a watch like this... The OEM is so shiny and new looking!! DON'T like it!

Mrlion · 5 September 2012, 10:04 PM

can't imagine being without my 233; i do use the functionality of 8 (i get 10) days power reserve and GMT.

Agreed, that's also what makes PAMs so much fun, the straps

Google "233 twenty strap combos"...

The OEM is ok, imo, just not for all occasions; I'd use it for a Black Tie or similar. Otherwise, my storm grey strap will work with a nice suit better than OEM any day

FYI, OP does not recommend you running the 233 past eight days as accuracy may waiver (spring-tension science, what do I know, lol...). LOVE that second strap... who makes it, if I may ask?

@OP - sorry if I'm going slightly OT in your thread

Mrlion · 6 September 2012, 09:32 AM

sorry for going OT, gunny custom made the strap for me, linky below

Watchcraze007 · 5 October 2012, 10:03 AM

372!

Glenn422 · 5 October 2012, 11:55 AM

I'd take the 233 because it's sapphire! Now if you say 422 vs 233 I'd take the 422 which I did :)

gigantor · 5 October 2012, 12:27 PM

I will choose the 233. 8days power reserve with gmt and second hand. If u are also considering 311, it means that 372 will be too plain for u.

DiverAsia · 5 October 2012, 02:37 PM

372 for sure...i don't like too many arms on my watches....back to basic
