Pam 005 or Pam 233
Hello,
Just a question, based on pure looks only, do you prefer the Pam 233 or the simpler Pam 005. Have only seen one of them in the store, so I need some help. //Fred |

Both great pieces, but I would pick the 233 (ignoring the big difference in $$$)
 Cheers

Both are pure PAMs for me, the 233 is the best of the in-house models for me, it looks the most natural PAM in that way, the 005 is the most natural historic.
If money is no object then the 233 is great, if you're on a budget then the 005 and a 320/351/etc would be a better option, hell if money is no object get both, the 233 for more formal wear, the 005 as a day to day watch.

233 by a mile
They're entirely different looking watches on every level. Have you looked or compared a 312 to a 233? |

233!
The inhouse 8 day movement and 1950s case make the 233 a very special addition to any Panerai collection. |

Own both and would say apples and oranges. The 05 is no where close to the 233 but it is good value and a logo watch which I actually wear more often.
