Poll: What is the best PAM made?

Please tell me your thoughts on the best one out there.

I think the 127 and the 233 are probably my favs!

104 and 111.Practicality vs Historical.

Not too expensive,yet defines what Panerai is all about.The "essentials" of any Panerai collection.One of those and a few straps and you have a whole collection anyway

111/177 when you think of cost + appearance + style.

233 is my favourite, but it's double what the 111/177 costs and i think that at the end of the day it's just slightly behind the 111 due to this.

I agree on the 177 (even though that is my only Panerai).

I would love a 127 but the cost/benefit these days just doesn't stack up

For me 111, but thats the first one I have bought so I'm hardly impartial.

If the Fiddy would ease up a bit on price I would purchase one.

The simplicity of the Fiddy just intrigues me.

I ll keep looking tho.

My favourite is my 98.



The 232 is in the hospital, so it missed the family photo
