So if you had a 14060M and were looking for another watch to share wrist time for those occasions you're in jeans - what would you look to acquire and why? Let's set a budget of $10K.

My thoughts:

PAM 422 - iconic Panerai.
Pros: 47mm, domed sapphire crystal, in-house movement, exposed case back, power reserve indicator on back, seconds reset function, hand wound with 3 day reserve

116710BLNR - Rolex GMTs are also iconic. date window with cyclops, dual time is useful

Overall I think having something a little different like the PAM makes more sense but is 47mm too big to wear in a polo shirt? I really do like the GMT and it would be nice to have date and dual time for travel - those are useful complications.

47 v 40 is quite the two choice set up. BLNR for me on size alone.

For a Panerai, try the PAM 424, the California dial is beautiful. Or a older PAM 27 power reserve.

The Speedy Pro is a fine choice.

Rolex: Explorer II Polar? TT GMT? TT Daytona might be available at $10k. Certainly a change of pace to the Sub. How about a brown dial / butterscotch bezel TT GMT aka Clint Eastwood?

IMHO, ditch the Sub and get a SD.

Pam 422 is a great piece IMG_6056.JPG

I like the sound of a Root Beer GMT added into the mix

It is gorgeous! Don't suppose you have any good wrist shots?

droptopman · 4 October 2017, 03:04 AM

Any 5 or 6 digit GMT, but then you have another black dial. If you like color maybe a 116613LB or 116610LV or Exp II polar 5 or 6 digit.

Tried Pams a couple times over the years. Cool watches, but the fun wore off for me pretty quick and went back to Rolex. Expensive lessons between the depreciation and all the straps I bought...

I have similar more clean the 372

That Panerai does sing to me

beshannon · 4 October 2017, 03:13 AM

I have a 14060M and a Speedmaster so I voted BLNR which I also have.

I would also suggest the Tudor Bronze

watchwatcher · 4 October 2017, 04:47 AM

Shockingly, I see the BLNR has a 90% lead...

That's my vote as well.

Cru Jones · 4 October 2017, 05:18 AM

Out of those three and with what you have, the 422 (or one of 000/005/111/372) would be my choice.

Actually I would love a Reverso but categorize it as a little more formal in my eyes.
