Pam 328 or 297?

Which to get? I love the fact 328 has a in house movement and 1950s case but, the 297s dial looks so nice but has an eta movement. Any thoughts?

you need to try the 328 on...Panerai on bracelets wear BIG...and the inhouse auto movement makes it sit high...

you will hear it from other Paneristis that its all about straps!

i enjoy straps but i want one with the bracelet :) i used to own a 297 loved it but, I want a watch with a in-house movement. It is a tough decision! I don't have big wrists but I enjoy the look of a panerai they scream wrist presence :). I was going to get a rolex gmtiic or milgauss gv but they scream no wrist presence... Or am I just wrong lol?

I have tried on the 328 and it does wear VERY large. Beautiful watch but definitely wear one before buying. Good luck!!

A PAM in a bracelet may not be everyone's cup ot tea, but it does look good at certain angles, i recently noticed that Conan O'Brien from tje late night show wears it. He pull it off quite well i must say.
