Tough call as I have always liked PR indicators...but I believe 422 has PR indicator on the back - listed as "days" not hours- I always thought that was cool too

I don't think you can go wrong either way!

422 no doubt. I'm on the list myself. Though, I'd have to trade my 372 to afford it. But I love the pr indicator on the back. Good luck!

Yeah, the 422 is spot-on but I recall reading it will not have plexi, any truth to that? As for me, I'm sticking with the 372.

Hey,

You moved to panerai rather quickly. If I recall we both picked up gmt's earlier this year....

My favorite is the pam 98, its a GMT w/ alarm...

Power Meter at the front makes the dial a bit too busy for a PAM, IMHO.

My thoughts as well.... with the exception of the 233. I could learn to love the fang to get the superdome.

Good to hear, makes the 372 even more special IMHO. I would not want to miss out on the plexi.

Of the two, I'd choose the 422, but much prefer the base 372 over both.

372 or 422. Wouldn't do the 423.

Man, I'd have one but 47mm is just too big.
