I looked at and tried on several PAM models, including an all gold 42 mm model. It was beautiful. In the same day I tried on several Rolex models. Two weeks later I bought the Bluesy!

Two very different watches, but, I'll try: since you have a Rolex and have a Tudor diver, how about going with the 512? You get another brand plus a very different option, watch-wise, with unlimited strap options.

Update: I tried on the 16613 at lunch today, and I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. I like the blue color on my Tudor better, and I felt like the 16613 might be a bit duplicative, especially in a collection as limited as mine. So I am definitely leaning towards the Panerai, which I think will fit better into my collection, in terms of giving me things that I don't have.

I have similar watches (my 16613 is black and a Pam 048), if you don't like the bluesy go for the Pam, but honestly the sub is MUCH more versatile.

Enjoy either way!

Bluesy is such an classic. I may get one myself, having trouble deciding between YG Blue and TT. Such are the decisions of the modern proletariat.

You need to look at the new 116613LB. My brother has the 16613 and I'm not too keen on it after owning my 116613LB

Yes try on the ceramic Bluesy and Black dial. I'm sure one of these will be the one.

Thanks again to all for the helpful comments. I ended up going in a completely different direction. Please visit the Omega Forum if you are interested to see what I wound up with.
