Question on Pam 270
I'm going to buy a Rolex or Pam next month. The 270 is one I'm considering. For those who own a 270 or have used it in the past, can you give your opinion on how you like it or hate it.
Thanks. |
Nice piece but too thick IMO, doesn't sit well on my wrist. YMMV.
|
Phenomenal watch, I kick myself for getting rid of it... Miss it dearly.

Mike, I've never owned a 270, but I've had a few on.
To me these references represent the "next level" (for want of a better term). It's an amazing watch and one that's always been on my radar.:cheers: |
I love my 270, it's not much thicker than the 233.

the 270 is a great piece...and its a toss up between the 233 and 270...
enjoy! |
The 270 is a beauty. I have the 233 and here are some of the reasons why I like it which you may consider as an option to the 270.
The manual winding of the 233 is *very* efficient. To wind the full 8 day PR, its actually easier and faster to wind than my 000. So don't let that bother you too much unless you really prefer the auto. The 8 day PR on the 233 runs for such a long time - up to 10 hours I hv heard, so its got plenty of juice. I have an OEM gator and I think the 270 gator is a killer. Much nicer than the tunnel strap that comes with the 233. Can't go wrong either way. Good luck. |
270 was my first PAM

Have owned several Rolex & Tudor sport watches for almost 25 years , actually have 11 in my small collection ( 4 GMTs / 3 Daytonas / 1 Sea Dweller / 1 SDDS / 1 Explorer / 1 Heritage Chrono ) , when I went looking for my first PAM , the 270 was my choice , no regrets , 1950 case , super dome crystal , 10 days (which gives me the choice to rotate between watches) , croc strap , AM/PM indicator (like it more than the dot) , GMT & date , massive , all you want in a PAM in just one watch !

Great pics on your 270 there!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: |
Got one a week ago. It is big, but not too big even for my puny wrists.
Going from a bracelet to a leather band is more of an adjustment than the size. That would be the only reason I might not keep it. Readability of the dial is a huge plus for me. The lume isn't as good as I expected, but the reflections of light off the hands more than makes up for the lack of lume in most cases. It is nice a nice feeling knowing I didn't compromise. You really can't go wrong. Good luck. |
Love mine and here are some pictures...
The most worn Panerai in my collection. Very versatile and prefer the automatic vs. the manual wind of the PAM 233.

Mike its a fantastic piece i've had mine around a month now, having owned many a rolex this is my first Pam and its truely stunning!!!!
|
I like Pam270,
Especially the glass windshield. but switching the linear power reserve to back for an autowind calibre is much better! |

In fact, at first sight, I didn't like my am/pm very much on my 270... So I'd like to listen more to your opinion! |

Had them all on the wrist .... 312,320,359,233 and 270
The winner .......... 270 !!:thumbsup::cheers: |
Last year I was trying to decide between the 233 and the 270. I end up with a 233 because I wanted a manual wind in my collection.
The 270 is a really beauty and there are less of them out there. I love my 233 and can't imagine why anyone wouldn't love a 270. The 1950 case and domed crystal are just awesome! It's a big watch with great presence on the wrist. |
