Paneristis...torn between 61 118 176... Arghhhh

[Zhi_Peng]

out of the 3, i will choose 118.

[skydweller_sg]

between a third party movement and a inhouse movement, i would choose the latter
since panerai has its own P2,3,9 cal., why are people still buying the decorated ETA?
price could be one factor, though a panerai fitted with P9 cal. are priced only slightly more than its ETA models with similar functions

eg pam 104 vs pam 312, eu$5,600 vs eu$6,000
the 312 with inhouse movement is only 7% more than the 104 with ETA movement

imagine this - 2 rolex submariner , one fitted with rolex inhouse 3135 cal. the other a rolex decorated ETA
priced 7% difference
which one will you choose?

[Spike123]

Just curious, what the price like for such discontinued models?

[skydweller_sg]

think this was pretty much what was on panerai's mind when they did the pam 318 brooklyn bridge SE

Movement nor see thru Display caseback dont matter to me

Im jumping the gun... Already have a tan strap... N eyeing DA's Lv strap wahahhahahaaaaaaa...!!!

I just love the Ti understated look.... Polished ss .... Too unforgiving to scratches

Well just my 2sens....
To each his own i guess... V subjective

Yeah the lv strap looks remarkable. Feel like getting one too!! Seems perfect for both my 61 and 359.

Bent on.... sandwhich + tobacco +of cos Ti combo...
Any idea which yr production runs have this...?

Marina/second-hand subDial immaterial... Caseback immaterial....

Titanium and tobacco = 55/61/116/118/240 (non sandwich)

176 is titanium but not tobacco.

The 300 series, I am not familiar already.

[Watcha]

Sandwich, tobacco, Ti. Pam 351.

Of the 3 i would say 118.

I think 351 is the latest Pam with your needs, TI, tobacco dial and sandwich plus it's a 1950 case type which imo makes the pam stand out more albeit thicker.
