Why don't people love the PAM 212?

I had one traded it and am buying it back...I realized how beautiful the piece is...rugged masculine and just a beautiful piece but people don't seem to care about it or have no interest...what is up with that? I will get mine back and won't let it go again!

It seems to be the same case with the Ferrari variants.

I am with you --the 212 is amazing and is discounted more heavily than just about any other Panny. The hands, brushed case, and display back are to my liking.

Are you buying back the one you traded? or a different one?

I had one for 3 years. I prefered it over the Daytona, but ended up selling them both.
I would consider getting one at a later date, I did like it, I was just doing some serious house cleaning & it was one on the chopping block.
I guess I am more of a Radiomir type as I kept the 98, 190 & 249

I love the 212, but I like the new 362 rattrapante better.

Too me, I think it's just too busy...but it all comes down to user preference...so if you like the style get one.... I prefer plain and simple...

Cheers!

It's a very nice watch, but not a very nice Panerai in my opinion. Not that I don't like it, I just think it's not clean and simple like the rest of the Panerai's in my opinion. I personally feel that the cleaner the better on Panerai to some extent.

As others had said before it's all about your preference at the end of the day. What makes you happy and you enjoy on your wrist.
