Got the Luminor, Got the Radiomir, what about a Sub?

Started into Panerai with a PAM311 (Luminor)
As one PAM is never enough, I'm now waiting on a PAM687 (Radiomir) to arrive
I figure i should look at a Sub to complete the set, at some point

As it seems i'm not into "traditional Panerais" I would be curious to hear suggestions on a Sub that would be a fun addition to the collection

I really like the PAM968 Bronzo but would be interested to hear other options

Any thoughts?

I like the Pam 692 47mm BMG-Tech
But not sure if that new tech material (the BMG) is something that is good in the long term

I vote for Carbotech (616). I recently bought an 1074 and it's just okay...maybe not use to the "smaller size"

I have the 968. Love it. When untarnished looks like rose gold, and has developed a nice patina over time.

I love all lines (yes, even the Due), but the Submersible was my first love in Panerai-land, and to this day still my favorite. I absolutely adore my 1305, the all metal, no insert bezel is a unique and brutal look, the brushed Ti case is a cool departure from the typical polished SS PAM, my favorite dive bezel action (raw and chunky, as different as can be from the Sub), and the applied indices and skeletonized handset just hit the spot for me.

I completed my set with a 692 last year. Of course, I have been looking for a 127 or a 217 now since last summer... beware of never being complete.

You need a sub, it’s a great piece. I miss my 243 but my 199 is a favorite piece

I also love my 692. It's big at 47mm but works well enough on my 7.25" wrist. Fortunately with subs they now have models in 42mm, 44mm, and 47mm.

I'm currently pondering a bronzo as my next piece.

I have the 1312 luminor. Recently added the 1209 and while the 42mm was a bit of an adjustment at first, I absolutely love it! My everyday watch and looks good with a t shirt or cuff.

PAM sub, you cannot go wrong!
