Icon5 This or that... from a less biased group

Maybe...

Ya, I know this is the Panerai forum, but I wanted another brand's fans POV.

I currently own a PAM627, but also owned a 116710LN (Rolex GMT). Just sold GMT and looking to either pickup a two tone GMT 116713LN or the two tone Sky Dweller.

Love the PAM627, that one seems have stuck around longer than most.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Between these two, I would take the SkyDweller, but I would take a TT LN Submariner Date over both of them. Good luck with your choice.

The SkyDweller annual complication is very nice, but the GMT is much easier to “set and go”.

I prefer the simplicity and legibility of the GMT

I own sub date and Pam bitempo gmt.

My vote is easily 2 tone Rolex gmt. Very comfy, easy to read and still has that "dress diver" look. I've handled Sky dweller at my AD and didnt care for it ..almost looks like a Citizen ..lol.

And I hear ya on the Pam....as of lately, I've been wearing my Pam a lot more than my sub. I just change straps on my Pam and it becomes a new watch .

I already signed up for the batman gmt with my rep so once I get it, I'll sell my sub date.

I would go with the GMT. I find the SD too top heavy.

I don't care for GMT watches, but I think that one looks much better.

I own the SD in gold on OF. It's my second Sky D. It's not really top heavy at all in that configuration. I much prefer it to the awkward date setting of the GMT. It is so easy to set. Even if it's been sitting unworn it literally takes a few seconds to set it up correctly. I find the lack of appreciation for the SkyD is likely due to the conservative nature of the owners. The Sky D is perceived as too complex in comparison to the GMTs. I actually find them less so. I remember when they first came out there were those who questioned, "why do I need a month shown on my watch. I know what month it is." Clearly, they were missing the big picture.
