So, what is your next realistic Panerai.

I always appreciated the Rad case and my first one ended up being a Lum, but I eventually got my Rad. Not in a rush to go out and get one right away as I'm loving my two I have, but if I had the money, I'd rush out and get a....

The 190 would be more practical for daily wear, but man, that 232 and it's brown dial base goodness.......

So, what is a realistic next Panerai for you...

Shade · 4 November 2010, 12:03 PM

Either one you mentioned Mfer, honestly, I'm seriously thinking of adding either of those two rads.

I might more inclined to go for the 8 Days though, since I already have a California, it just seems similar -in a way- with the 232...

However, the 232, IS LIMITED EDITION, would be a huge plus for collecting.

190 is basically limited. They only made 2050 of them in 3 years.
232 was 1938 in one year with I think a few OOR models.

Similar you say? I have a 210 and I'm pondering a 232! ;-)

Shade · 4 November 2010, 12:11 PM

Mfer: Right'o on the 190. Oh well, I guess both are great watches and I would love to own either one that comes my way... :D

mfer · 4 November 2010, 12:12 PM

I also admit, the 243 has been intriguing me lately. It would be big on me however.

This one I would have to say...

Shade · 4 November 2010, 12:17 PM

I've tried that one on a few times, a friend owns one. IT's nice, but it's just too huge for me. It looks top heavy on my wrist..

jvo300 · 4 November 2010, 12:27 PM

On my radar are the 190 and 292. Not in a rush though. I'm also curious about the new 42mm rads coming ... 338 maybe?

Shade · 4 November 2010, 01:35 PM

I tried a 42mm Rad yesterday, it looks small... Maybe it's just me.

bcacncnc · 4 November 2010, 03:56 PM

I'd go for the 210. Something about that cushion case, the 3-6-9-12 dial balance and the simplicity of the design that makes it really shine.

kensg · 4 November 2010, 05:34 PM

Pam 346 is on my radar.

Mantooth · 4 November 2010, 05:37 PM

Probably the 210, or just swap my 112 hands for gold hands. Maybe both...lol.

esm · 4 November 2010, 08:27 PM

210 (deposite down and it is still coming)
88
232 (that is the "hottness")

probably in that order

You'd all be happy!

I know I am!

This is my pic! (and my watch)

mike · 4 November 2010, 09:24 PM

For me it's the 29.

Shade · 5 November 2010, 01:36 AM

Come to think of it, I already have the two PAMs I wanted the most.. My 233 and 249..

So maybe I shouldn't get another panerai.. Maybe something else instead..

Mike's thinking about a GMT!!!!

It is a sweet one. I kind of like the older one (a series I think) with the minute markers too. Have you seen it? Makes more sense with a GMT hand I think.

dotcomakazee · 5 November 2010, 03:41 AM

29 or 243

stockae92 · 5 November 2010, 04:35 AM

I want a PVD/DLC 000 o 005. if not, maybe an auto luminor (164? 240?)

B. Doggy · 5 November 2010, 10:16 AM

Well I'll say you got me thinking about a 210, but it might just have to be that sweet 232 I get down the road. First things first though: DAYTONA!

Nica64 · 5 November 2010, 10:29 AM

210

243

Carlo Miguel · 6 November 2010, 01:41 AM

How about a 339 :p

gameson · 6 November 2010, 02:25 AM

339 for me! :D

m_reign · 6 November 2010, 03:20 AM

339 is top of my list too, but don't have high hopes.

Spencer · 6 November 2010, 06:18 AM

Good luck on the 339 guys!

I'd say a 335 here.

Trurolexer · 6 November 2010, 06:08 PM

I'm dreaming (the key word is Dreaming) about Pre_A or Pre-V...

Alexus · 11 November 2010, 11:51 PM

I've dreamt of a Pam 74... and finally got one :)

Launch Mini · 19 November 2010, 03:49 AM

Nothing is on my radar at the moment, but on the flip side 4 of mine might be on the chopping block.
Not that I don't like them, just I have 3 in rotation and there are 4 just sitting in the safe.

MNDZA · 19 November 2010, 03:58 AM

305
