26 ALL the way
 

Nah, I don't care if 99 out of 100 people vote for the 249, I will be the 1 voting for the 26. I would hands-down take the 26. The cali don't sing to me, but the pvd destro is a beaut.

More true to the DNA of Panerai IMHO. There are also other watch brands out there that imitate the 249 (not knock-offs; I am talking about an established brand like Dievas). This watch was made as a tribute to the Kampfschwimmer or German Combat Frogmen (German, not Italian) If I see a 249, it could be a $700 Dievas... Check it out :read:

Go 26! :thumbsup:

249:thumbsup:

The 249 is one of the most seductive looking watches I have ever seen. I have yet to own one, but I would jump at the chance if presented. I wouldn't turn away a 26 either, but I don't think I could fall in love with it.

I have negotiated an 04b (near mint condition) with all original box, papers and accessories and priced right at 14,000 SGD (right at 10k USD) from the owner here, I am thinking about possibly picking it up? Opinions on the price? Thanks in advance.

Hey there.

I have owned both 26 and 249 together. 26 gets boring rather quickly. So I sold it. 249 is still in my collection along with my 232 and 190. 249 is the winner without any hesitation.

Like someone said, complete the Rad triology!!

I Got my New PAM!!! And my choice is...

Congrats Heru. I saw what you got. Stunner!

Congrats on 249 bro!!:thumbsup::thumbsup:
Manage to snap bnib one?


TruRadiomirs:agree:

If you MUST buy another Panerai then I voted for the 249.

But Neef, isn't one Pam enough, really?:read::read::chuckle::chuckle:
