233 for me. I like both but it’s such a classic.

Luckily there are seven days in a week! So there’s no need to choose between these two beauties.

I’m firmly in the 233 camp. I think I’d get tired of a black watch

I've yet to get a Pam but been trying all flavors at my AD ..7 inch wrist here and I much prefer 44mm cases. IMO, if ya have to own a Pam, 44mm is the classic. It's what made the brand famous and it will make it enthuiasts brand for years to come.
And 233 is a classic (still considered a grail for many!). That being said, I really liked PAM01361 at my AD but max discount they were offering was a 10% so I went pre owened and got one incoming in the mail with box/'23 papers! Super stoked and already ordered 2 different leather straps...lol. |

Great watches. I think the Submersible looks cooler on your wrist. But I still prefer the 233.

Sub looks cool but the 233 is hard to beat and is a stone cold classic so it gets my vote.

Carbo is (in my opinion) way cooler and way easier as a daily. And I love the 233.
Ceramic is another great option. 335 or 317 are amazing and have some of the best and most robust Panerai movements. I also think the carbo looks better on your wrist.

233 screams Old School Panerai.
That's the watch to wear. |

I'd go with whatever better matches what you're wearing that day.
