I need a little help from the experts. I have had a few PAMs in the past and I find myself wanting to buy another. My favorite was my 372. And while I may just buy another I thought it would be better if I found something a little different. I really like the 368 but the price is a little to much at this time.
Here is what I'm looking for.
44 - 47mm
Handwind
Plexi crystal if possible or at least a domed crystal
Plain dial, 3 -6 -9

I really like the case of the 372 do they make the same case in a smaller size?

Thanks for your help

I like the 372 but prefer the 422 or 423 as an alternative. I like the second hand. You can look for a classic like the 233 which has a domed crystal and is beloved, for good reason, by collectors. So many options.

587 would be a good choice if you can live without a crown guard.

With the criteria you are looking for, the 233 for sure.

tedo · 18 December 2023, 01:35 AM

For domed and some additional functionality, the 233. For the simple, clean look, the 372.

Jordonc2 · 18 December 2023, 01:48 AM

What about a 557?

Cru Jones · 18 December 2023, 02:28 AM

372/422/423 have a unique case, slightly different. If that’s what you like best, a base 372 with plexi is hard to beat.

Jordonc2 · 18 December 2023, 05:35 AM

What is different about the case? The 557 looks the same as the 372. Please show me.

Mea culpa. The 557 being a destro version of the 372, it should be the same.

Can’t go wrong with the 233. That’s what ticked all the boxes in my case, until I came across the 335, which is pretty much has the same functions as the 233 but with a 10 day power reserve and automatic movement.

Jordonc2 · 18 December 2023, 09:30 PM

Did they make a 372 in 44MM.
If not what is closest

390 is 44mm With a Luminor case that people often compare to a 372.

You could also consider a 213 or 212 with domed crystal and 1950 case.

Titanio 055/061 - 176/177

I always suggest a wire lug radiomir. The case wears better than the luminor case (especially at 47mm).

The obvious choice for you is the 720 or 721.

Or you can begin a never ending search for one of the 49 294s produced:

Good luck!
