new pam
 

god...am I nuts? I have gone through several rolexes...explorer II, sub w/no date, LV sub, sea dweller, deep sea, vintage sub, gmt II...back and forth with those and a couple of panerai-daylight on steel (very uncomfortable) PAM 164 which I just found ugly, and most recently a PAM 212...flyback did nothing for me. Love the look of panerai, rolexes feel too small now...not sure what the heck to do...like panerai w/aftermarket straps, but having trouble picking a model...suggestions?

Budget?

IMO the 233 is an amzing all arond PAM.

a bit more $$$ than I want to spend

a 351? titanium body with gold hands.

sorry but why dont you try some other makers and types of models?..I mean if PAM and Rolex are not doing it for you, and you have really tried hard to make it work, why dont you try JLC, GO or those other different versions?..just a sincere suggestion :thumbsup:

The 312 is really nice, 44mm 50's brushed case, sandwich dial and an in house mvt viewable through a display back. $7400 list I think, can be found LNIB with stamped/dated cards for $5600-7000. That's what I'm currently after. :)
