One quick question!

[Paneraii]

217 has a Marina Militare (MM) dial. These are very special words that meant something to Panerai DNA. There aren't many watches by Panerai comes with MM dial? Rare to an extend. Plus point - it is a destro. If budget is not a constraint, this is a must have for all Panerai aristocrats.

MM is an awesome piece...

a bit different from the 127...a bit more low profile...
and tons of history...
enjoy!

someone is asking the same question in another forum...

I guess i might be the exceptional one out as I personally prefer the 127 than the 217. prefer to wind watches with my right hand and always been wearing them on my left hand.

but nevertheless, you can't go wrong with anyone of them! Go for it if it really sings to you!

217

Hi Bro
The 217 with the 1950 casing in a 47mm is just right. You will love the teh dome shaped crystal. The 217 is sweet as well, undoubtedly. But it´s a destro and not as appealing to the masses. Thats why i choose 217.

But Panerai destros are always specials to collectors though I don't understand why destro is offered more expensive than the normal one. (another thing: winding direction for destro is different than the normal, it is counter clockwise.

I had the 217 before and wear on the right, like all my watches since young. The only issue I have is that it's too huge for daily wear, so sold it.

I have IWC 5004 twice and sold off both . Bought 217 ,then sell and bought aagain. You are telling me.

So do u still own a 217 and if so, ur comments?

Ok!! I have spoken to 2 bros this afternoon regarding the 217 and 127 issue. I lost my cool and wanted to dash for either one with my decision leaning a little more to the 127. So I posted this question here hoping to get a negative answer on the 217 but seems like the response is quite the opposite of what I expected. Anyways..I have straighten my thoughts and decided to wait for my grail 339(if it ever comes). It's funny how a grown man get can so irrational at times bcos of a time telling device. Haizz and we people here go thru these....

I fell in love with the 217 for sometime now and would like to hear from fellow bros if it's weird to wear Destro on the left wrist as it was intended to be worn on the right wrist. Idling mind is a devil's workshop...some say. Thanks for all views and input!

Bro, actually hor most PAMs are made to be worn on the left hand but I wear on the right hand, also ok ma, so go ahead with the 217 man! So I can molest it! hahaha

[zameenzahari]

I was just about to ask about the 127... over the 217 and man!! you are quick!!

Plus one on that..I'd take the Destro MM anyday over the Fiddy

[Watcha]

there are many people wearing regular watch on right wrist even thought they are not lefty.

i even seen 217 worn loosely on the ang mo lady ADs right hand and i don't find it odd. and her wrist is slim.

i actually think it is more comfortable as the watch is bigger.


my 2 cents for the numerous cents

[Seventh Son]

Listen bro, forget about ur 233,305,351,292 or even the 339............................................... ..ok maybe not the 339


Just go for the 217 bro!!!

- 47mm
- huge dome
- "Marina Militare" on dial
- Destro

I prefer this over the 127

I was just about to ask about the 127... over the 217 and man!! you are quick!!

[Seventh Son]

You have been warned....

Haha!! Look what I found yesterday while shopping at the pharmacy! These should do the trick..ya?
