PAM 233 or AP City of Sails

Hi All,

Need a quick advise, should i trade my PAM 233 for a AP CoS 39mm? The Pam 233 is a daily beater and only PAM i have. Tried on the CoS today and it looks really nice and i think can be a daily beater as well. I think it is always good to have a PAM in a collection just for variety. I already have 2 APs (a ROO and 15300) but somehow this CoS is just so nice. I can always get back another PAM 233 at a later stage while the CoS is not so readily available..?

What do the folks think about the CoS? Is the CoS on a 28mm strap?

Cheers.

AP all the way.

The 39mm ROC is my absolute favorite - the size and the fit are perfect IMO.

You can always get another 233. The City of Sails are the perfect size ROC in my opinion and much rarer (and consequently don’t come up for sale often).

So i finally pull the trigger and released my PAM 233 plus top-up and got the City of Sails. I have to this is very comfortable and sits very nicely. Not at all heavy and would say just the right size. It is just as comfy as my RM11 and this is going to be my daily beater.

Congrats, great looking AP. I like the idea that’s only 39 mm.

Congratulations and if you own a Richard Mille I suppose this could be a daily beater. However, it is not a Panerai. This model has not been made in several years and there aren’t that many of them. It is a sporty watch, not a sports watch.

I have owned 5 Panerai and I’ve yet to be moved by any of them. I would definitely rather wear this as a daily watch.
