Poll: PAM 232 vs PAM 372

Looking to add another PAM soon and need some help with my decision as I am torn between the two.

Requirements-

Already have a DSSD and 000

1. Model I can dress up and down.
2. DNA make up
3. I will most likely wear it 3-4 days a week.

Any input to help with my decision would be great.

1. PAM 232



2. PAM 372

both beautiful

i am partial to the 232, i always prefer a solid case backs on a pam.

biggest concern imho is it is a bit of a tedious process to do strap changes on radiomirs compared to luminors.

the 232 has a lower profile if you want to dress it up.

Appreciate all the feed back. But please tell me what about the 372 sings to majority of the responders that the 232 doesn't? I've owned a 372 and the reason I got sold mine was because of the plexi. What is everyone's opinion about the 232 that they like or dislike.

232 - the original design of Panerai.

I love cushion cases.
I love how thin the 232 is. (wears smaller too)
I love "the" perfect shade of brown.
Looks great on gator.
Looks great on ammo.
I love the 6497 movement over the 3-day in house. It just works and easy to maintain.
232 is LE.

232 for me.

I have a 16610 from 1999
I then got a Pam 005

And next I Wanted a Radiomir - the 005 and your 000 both have the crown guard.
I really love the brown face of the 232. And somehow I managed to get one with the same serial number as my 005.

both are 39 / xxxx Which sealed the deal for me.

As you already have the Luminor a rad is the way to go.

232 for sure! You already own a Luminor. I own a 232 and I love how it wears - it can be dressed up in a gator and looks awesome on an ammo too! I doubt Panerai will ever make this combo again - 1930s case, brown dial, green lume...

If plexi is a concern then go 422.

Saw one in the wild last weekend on Black Strap....looked great!!

Just not a fan of Rad's

232 for me. The plexi on a watch that big with a clean dial bugs me because it easily picks up scratches. I am also a user of Polywatch...

232 all the way esp since you have a Pam 0.

The 232 is a SE, Rad case will be easier to dress up, plenty of DNA.

The 372 is rumoured to be getting a sapphire crystal???

Although the pic looks nice of the 372 on gator...it just doesn't suit it for me....the 232 add the rad case since you already have luminor
