Vote: hot watch 10 yrs from now, 422 or 372?
The collectable/grail 10 years from now, 422 or 372?
|
Neither, both will be surpassed by the newest hot thing. Probably 55+ mm at that point.

10 years from now the vintage appeal on the 372 is going to be ridiculously COOL.
Value/collectability…I don’t care. |

372 looks to be a regular production reference so doubtful it will be highly collectible.
|
Neither will be collectible or grails since they're in normal production. There are some other modern PAM's I would think will be though.
|
I'll play.....the 372!

10 years from now............. honestly i don't know. it's all depend on what you think and like. "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".

Probably neither.
I'd look at the watches which have anything other than the ETA movements or their derivatives. Always desirable and in limited quantities. Remember, the only reason Panerai developed inhouse movements was having ETA demand their supply of movements be recognised. ETA is Swatch Group, Panerai is Richemont. But I digress. Cheers Richard |
They are both beautifully done modern interpretations of classic Panerai styles. With its growing popularity over the last decade or so, Panerai seems to use these two dial layouts a lot as they harken back to vintage and collectible models.
I love them both but I doubt either will be a grail watch as you will have hundreds of different versions of these two watches, in all sizes, case styles, dial colors and models, over the next 10 years. |
Pam 372
Collectors have been begging Panerai to create the 47 mm base with plexiglass.
Too bad they made 6000... so far. If they had made it a special edition, it would have been one for the ages. Call me crazy, I still like the Fiddy. Thanks for letting me voice my opinion. Bruce |
Neither will be a "Grail" but the 372 will still be a very cool looking!
Base is Ace! IMHO |

The 190 fits into this groove too. As you mentioned, too many of a good thing spoils the future potential. Personally, I like the "now" of it all and who knows what I'll still like in 10 years time. Cheers Richard |
For me, the 372 is perfection. I don't care if they make 6 or 6 million of them, if a watch is good, it's good. Who knows what will be popular or desirable in 10 years. I really don't care. I do know that I love the hell out of my 372.
|
I love them both, but if I were out to "collect", I'd go for this year's 449 SE SLC followed by the 448 SE Cali...
|
372 wins over 422
between the 2 models, 372 base .... wins over 422
|
372 :thumbsup:

I do love the look of the 217, just wish I had he wrist to pull it off. |
I bought my 422 not because I expect its value to go up, I bought it just because i think it looks so damn good! Buy what screams out to you, don't buy speculating values but ending up with a watch you don't really like..
|
I think Officine Panerai is very hit miss with their watches recently. in some models, they're looking too busy and losing their identity.
my 112G is the watch that i cant wait to become vintage. the 372, 127 look good but very big. |
372 will still be a classic in the future. Just because it is a regular production piece, will not devalue it in the future.
Eventually, like all other regular production PAMs it will be discontinued and probably gain eve more popularity. |
